Good review vid btw... I haven't played the game yet (waiting for some free time), but it seems like you may have given away some details. Not that you did any huge spoilers, but somethings probably should be left as a reward during the game

I agree with you Dan, I'm really enjoying the game. The whole graphics/gameplay package is awesome! Definitely the best Ghostbusters game I have played in a long long while

katzeimsack

damn

the review and the xbox version are awesome! Why does the ps3 version looks so bad

Mark Dygert

You're getting pretty good at this review stuff

ZeitgeistReview

Thanks everyone!

Rens

your doing a good job man, you pulled much more interrest out of me then before

storytelling got better, the way you include yourself!, the shots you use, everything got +1

only the intro was a bit slow and uninterresting for my taste, maybe more catchy content and less animations that flip these around

Mark Dygert

Yep the intro is a bit long and the only thing that kind of bugged me the rest was great.

I liked the metal door transition shots, those where pretty cool.

Eclipse

Yeah I really liked the Metal Doors, they are a great addition and much shorter/better then the old ones. The content was good as well, minor spoiler stuff I guess but very nice and informative. You are definitely getting better and I hope you keep at it. My only crit is to fix your intro as well. The text at the end particularly looks like something from publisher or something back in 98 :P.

What do you suggest I do to the intro?

Eclipse

It's just a bit long and generic, I am not a film guy so sadly I cannot really think of awesome ways to make it better, but you were able to do an awesome transition from what you had to the metal door things, so i am sure you can come up with something really nice!

I tried to pick up Ghostbusters for my 360 today at Best Buy but they were out!

I asked the guy at Best Buy if they had any copies of Ghostbusters for the 360 and he just laughed at me. I went to target and bought the last copy the had, they're selling like hotcakes!

Argh! No MP support in the PC version? I thought this would be like my substitute for Left 4 Dead....

That, and I just saw the minimum specs to play it... Darn. Darn Darn.

Jesse Moody

yeah i didn't see any at Target either. I always buy my games at Best Buy because of the damn reward zone and gamers club stuff they have.

Jeremy Lindstrom

Irreal

Yep Good review. I wasn't going to bother with this game but i'm tempted to pick it up now.

Mike_Carlyle

Yup, you guys are right about the PKE, not EKG. Damn it.

Finally got a chance to play this weekend. Great game so far. I've experienced a few bugs on the 360 version though.
1) When I first played, I got up to where I returned to the firehouse, and I was suppose to interview the lady. I exited the game there, since it was a new scene, I figured it was a good place to stop. When I started the game back up later that evening, I was at the start of Museum scene. I'm not sure if I missed anything important, but it seems like I did

2) When I go to continue the game, it asks me what device to store my progress on. I choose my hdd as usual, then it warns me that I'm going to overwrite the data and defaults to 'choose different location'. I have to go down to continue each time. It's not a BIG deal, but still something that other games don't do. If I choose the hdd, and it sees previously stored data, it should know to use it.

3) I had the game lock on me several times. To the point that I had to eject the game to get the system to return... or shut down the 360 completely. This may be just my system though. You never know with the 360s I don't have enough hdd space to download the game, due to only have a 20GB system

4) When I was about to enter the kids classroom, the door didn't shut completely for some reason, so it didn't trigger for me to continue. I had to exit to the menu, then continue my career, to get it to reset.

Again, none of these things are taking away from the game, just little bugs. I've seen worse

Jeremy Lindstrom

Yeah, same for me with the interview the lady section, my game on the PS3 would lock up in the library when the shelves were moving..

Crazy! I actually experienced 1 and 2 as well, but not 3 and 4.

I wanted to post in the proper thread, but someone locked it because one little bitch was crying.

The demo just went up, so I grabbed it immediately. This game is amazing. A big thanks to everyone who worked on this to make it so legit.

I'll be getting this soon!
