Having been a fan of the franchise since the first film I played and loved the PS2 version, the 360 version, and the PS3 version of this game means I'll probably get the remaster if gets a physical release.
I played both ports of these games when I was like 9, I am so happy they decided to remaster this game and I'm glad other people have got to experience this as well😊😊
I just finished this game and let me tell you it's SO AWESOME!!! I had second thoughts about getting it but then i played it for like 10 minutes at a friend's house and i just had to get it. It puts you right back into the old school ghostbusters mood with little music chimes from the first movie. In short i think this game is 9/10. I can already tell I'm going to play through it at least two more times.
matthew carbonell I didn't mean shat in a good way, It shat on it in the way that the 2009 version was removed from Steam in order for this one to sell.
this game was just pure enjoyment! As a child watching the movies and the animated series numerous times, this is the game we have been waiting for. my only conplaint is that once you complete the game there is no good unlockables like a behind the scenes featurette or something. But with that aside, this game is a must buy!
I love this game. Im very glad to see that its loved by fans and critics alike. The game feels polished and well written and it feels like it was made for the fans. The proton packs are freakin' awesome. 8.5/10
I remember watching the movies when I was young and I would also dress up as a ghostbuster around Halloween when I was also young. Im starting to play this game again...so much nostalgia!
best game i have ever played. lots of twists. I was so addicted to ghostbusters after. you can never get tired of it. I have finished, but when i play it again, still the same reaction, i get freakin' scared.
Hope there's a sequel to this game. The next one should let you do multiplayer co-op through the campaign. I'd like to have that ambiance from the single player experience.
this is one of my fav games of all time any game with a cool mechanic that works is good. This game is great want more of this just catching the ghost is fun
Really had fun and along with the new ongoing comics it's great time to be a fan. I feel it's one of the more repayable games in terms of mastering ghost trapping and collecting. Hopefully it can be remastered for the next gen
To clear things up on release dates, PS3, PS2, PC, 360, Wii, and DS comes out tomorrow, June 16th in the U.S. PS3 and PS2 ports release in the U.K. June 19th with the rest of the consoles releasing later this year, with is kindof odd...
The multiplayer for this game is so freaking fun especially with friends. I also like the fact that in multiplayer you can play as Winston, Peter, Ray, and Egon.
Yes the game is a little on the short side, but I figure its because its to an extent a 3rd movie. But though their are things that make up for it like completing the spirit guide and doing the scan items.
It's a great game, but I'm surprised no one mentions the freezing problems on the PS3. Once you hit the physics heavy library level, there it a specific bookcase maze where the PS3 is just unable to not freeze. This doesn't stop you from continueing, but you end up running blind. Bill Murray seems a bit rusty, but the amazing underground level with the spirit tunnels just blows me away visually. And the new equipment is pretty cool.
@Imaculata I play this on a PS3 and the game has never froze on me.I HAVE had glitches where I have to load up my last checkpoint because something that should have happened didn't.Like the libraray where there's supposed to be a cutsene but my team mate just stood there and the cutscene didn't happen.
i was the biggest fan as a child of ghostbusters and still am. i even made my own proton pack aswell as speanding a shitload on a replica. this game is perfect.
man feel like buying this game now after renting it. Reason why is I just pre-ordered the perfect crossover comic of New York's Four Greatest Heroes from both worlds! The Ghost-Busters/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
Something tells me they're planning a movie. Whenever something old (like the ninja turtles) comes out with a video game out of the blue, there's a movie in the making. I bet you there's one on the drawing board right now.
That was only in the PS2 and WII versions. And this game handle the idea of a female member of the team very well. So please bring gender selection back for the remaster.
is the ps3 version diffrent from the ps2 cause i wanted to play the ps2 version today and i couldnt find the case for it to play it and i went to a game stop close to me but its sold out there and theres another place where its not sold out and im goanna go get it there tommorow should i get the ps3 version or the ps2 version
only thing it needs is a highlight task button, sometimes no human would figure out what your suppossed to do to progress the game, it really breaks the expereince when u tried everything known to man n have to go online
The gameplay is similiar to Resident Evil 4 and 5 and that's what I had in mind when playing this game-- over-the-shoulder, hunting down everyyone that moves (except humans), finding secrets, etc...
You never talked about now the cool cgi cutscenes with the ecto's lights are different from when its in game (like when you can walk up to it in a mission)
Good God...I can't believe it's been four years since this came out already. Damn. At any rate, the PC digital download version of this game is on sale for $5 at the moment for anyone interested. I already have it for Xbox360, but I haven't played it since it came out so I'm thinking about trying it on PC and playing through it again.
I love this game, better than the older one was it on the NES? I can't remember I left all my Last Genartaion games in a big box in the attic, so i can't remeber what it was on. I think it's safe to say this one is way better!
I wouldn't REALLY call this a movie game, its been YEARS since it has came out, so I'd call it an original, smart idea. I'd classify something as a "movie game" if the game comes out RIGHT AFTER or before the movie came out. all in all, yes this is an awesome game.
This may just be me but if I were to ever land a spot in the Cash Cab and I chose to use my phone call whenever Ben Bailey says "Who ya gonna call?" I would take the opportunity and say "GHOSTBUSTERS!!!". Like I said, might just be me.
Come on dudes to be honest this Game called Ghostbuster so i dont nedd a Review that critized the voiceacting which is awesom! I am a kid from the 80s and thats a reason enough for me to get it and play it!!
@AmericnOsttle10 I never said you or anyone else were not allowed to like the Ghostbusters game, and secondly, what does the game being made in 2009 have to do with anything?. Im just a huge Ghostbusters fan and ive always had a vision in mind of how i wanted a Ghostbusters game to be, and this didnt come close.
Looks like a job well done for Terminal Reality :-) Hopefully now they will be bigger and better known with this so that could pave the way for a BloodRayne 3!!!!! XD
LOL I also was terrified of the boogey man in the cartoon series. I dont know it just creeped me out with that huge head and goat feet. Really creepy character.
Thing about the PS3 and the 360 is that the PS3 is totally better in a technical sense, but it's also hard as shit to develop for. Developers are rarely able to use all the potential it has, while the 360 is essentially a PC meaning it's much easier to work with and push to the limit.
just a random question for those who read this my birthday is coming up i am a ghostbusters fan and an even bigger zelda fan should i get this game or ocarina of time masterquest? ii cant decide on the new game or the harder version of a classic that i have already beat
They should of made multiplayer offline too or released a patch/dlc to enable this feature as splitscreen as it would brought even more hours of fun with the multiplayer online. nonetheless this game rocks!! :)
People be saying we need a remastered version of this.
We do now 😊

They need to bring this back for PS4 as an HD remaster; Whos with me?
I'm with you
Me too
i agree and I saw gameplay of the new one. it doesnt look good. its an top angled shooter
Anthony deLeon like sanctum of slime a game that was kinda the same and did poorly
This game needs to be open world though... in the GTA 5 theme.
This guy is gonna be devastated when he watches the 2016 film
go to kinda funny on RUclips. they'll post their review later this week
Ha. HAha! HAHA! That's funny.
This is four years old...

As confirmed by Dan Aykroyd.
@@Ironbat92 so that means Afterlife is Ghostbusters 4 Right
This was THE Best Ghostbusters game ever ! It needs to be remastered .
ikr
It needs to be remade. I agree.
Ben Holme agreed son.
It’s here

Back when IGN wasn't a meme...ah the good times...
Rip Egon.
Egon but not forgotten
This game isnt given enough attention, and deserves a remaster.
Youre in luck
Congratulations dude. Ur dream came true
Yep $1.99 on a Steam sale... huge Ghostbusters fan. Totally forgot about this one. Instant buy.

@@rodd_boward A remaster is coming.
@@Batman-p7f i know and im so happy
This game made Ghostbusters great again.
It was never bad

Fíonán Murphy Every time I hear a line from that movie a year gets shaved off my life span
Sony removed this game from steam so the Ghostbusters 2016 game would sell. Thanks a lot!
It's on Steam for me. Check again I guess.
they removed it years ago but put it back after Harold Rasmus passed
It's not on steam anymore.
That's ok, I can just download it from anywhere if I want it.
@@doge2629 I just went and bought it on Amazon...Even got the makings for installation DVDs
As close as we ever got to a real Ghostbusters 3.
Pretty much was the real thing, just a video game.
It's now backwards compatible on Xbox One.
Yup!
IT HAS A 2019 VERSION NOW! BFJJDJDKDHDKBDJDJDNDKKD GWS KQOJDUUR!
Who came back to relive the review in waiting for the remaster?
So glad I waited to buy it now I can enjoy it in glorious 4K yes!!
Who is here because of the remaster announcement?
Me

The games acts like the third movie because look at the return of stay puff ghosbusters 3
Ghostbusters 2016 has shat all over this gem
what?

MorganaDays I didn't play the game at all, can you tell me about your experience with this game, it's probably I'm gonna play the remastered game
Daniel Lara I didn’t play the game either lol
This game is great I still play it.
This was a great game, played it on ps2 in the old days yeahhh good times
+Chuck Norris It was on the ps2 actually
***** I'm pretty sure it's the same game.
***** I did, it looks like the same game but much poorer graphics.
***** Plus it has the exact same game cover as the 360 version of the game.
***** They were both released in 2009.
you can really FEEL like a gghostbuster
I got this when I was 7 on my ps3
Sabe, loved it
Wow Greg, you arent biased at all !
Start a petition bring ghostbusters game to ps4 Xbox one bring it
Its on Xbox One.
best game i have ever played. lots of twists. I was so addicted to ghostbusters after. you can never get tired of it. I have finished, but when i play it again, still the same reaction, i get freakin' scared.
this guy is hands down the best reviewer on ign
Hope there's a sequel to this game. The next one should let you do multiplayer co-op through the campaign. I'd like to have that ambiance from the single player experience.
2:02-Well, Bill WAS recording his dialogue at a golf resort. No I'm not kidding, so sayeth Ernie Hudson to me.
Playing this in 4k on my pc and damn it looks really with HDR etc,the only ghostbusters worth mentioning.
Ok when the game first came out, I played it on the wii with a friends copy. But the xbox version looks cooler. Which one should I get?
Xbox
Who came here after watching the trailer of ghostbusters remastered version on PS4???
And Nintendo Switch and Xbox One.
this is one of my fav games of all time any game with a cool mechanic that works is good. This game is great want more of this just catching the ghost is fun
BEST FREAKING MOVIE VIDEO GAME EVER
Hey it’s better than Ghostbusters 2016’s video game.
Really had fun and along with the new ongoing comics it's great time to be a fan. I feel it's one of the more repayable games in terms of mastering ghost trapping and collecting. Hopefully it can be remastered for the next gen
To clear things up on release dates, PS3, PS2, PC, 360, Wii, and DS comes out tomorrow, June 16th in the U.S. PS3 and PS2 ports release in the U.K. June 19th with the rest of the consoles releasing later this year, with is kindof odd...
Its coming out for both at the same time in the US. If you happen to be in a Euro country, it wont be out for 360 until later this year.
The multiplayer for this game is so freaking fun especially with friends. I also like the fact that in multiplayer you can play as Winston, Peter, Ray, and Egon.
Just got this game on my xbox one.
I always wanted to play this as a kid but I for some reason never bought it..
How was it?
Yes the game is a little on the short side, but I figure its because its to an extent a 3rd movie. But though their are things that make up for it like completing the spirit guide and doing the scan items.
Nice review. I plan on reviewing this a few days after it is released on my channel!
this game is the fantastic. i felt like a ghost buster when i played it. i was yelling GET THE TRAP most of the time it is really fun.
Here is the 3rd movie people.
ty for ur answer but i asked if i can play offline multiplayer in ghostbusters?
the US version is definately region free.. I have already preordered a copy from ebay.
On vevo just press f5 to skip ads. So far it wont let ads come up unless they fix it.
It's a great game, but I'm surprised no one mentions the freezing problems on the PS3. Once you hit the physics heavy library level, there it a specific bookcase maze where the PS3 is just unable to not freeze. This doesn't stop you from continueing, but you end up running blind. Bill Murray seems a bit rusty, but the amazing underground level with the spirit tunnels just blows me away visually. And the new equipment is pretty cool.

lmao i played the hell outta this game when it came out
Who else is here after it's free on epic games?
i was the biggest fan as a child of ghostbusters and still am. i even made my own proton pack aswell as speanding a shitload on a replica. this game is perfect.
man feel like buying this game now after renting it. Reason why is I just pre-ordered the perfect crossover comic of New York's Four Greatest Heroes from both worlds! The Ghost-Busters/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

I liked that it had a choice of being male or female.
That was only in the PS2 and WII versions. And this game handle the idea of a female member of the team very well. So please bring gender selection back for the remaster.
is the ps3 version diffrent from the ps2 cause i wanted to play the ps2 version today and i couldnt find the case for it to play it and i went to a game stop close to me but its sold out there and theres another place where its not sold out and im goanna go get it there tommorow should i get the ps3 version or the ps2 version

They should make another one! This game would be so cool with a modern look
It's the best 3rd Person Survival Action Game without Horror. If you don't wanna play Traditional Survival Horror then play this game.
The gameplay is similiar to Resident Evil 4 and 5 and that's what I had in mind when playing this game-- over-the-shoulder, hunting down everyyone that moves (except humans), finding secrets, etc...
should I get this ghostbusters game or call of juarez 2 bound in blood?
i recommend importing it from the US.
Activision made it region free and it works beautifully on my UK XBox.
you won't regret it.
I loved the level of detail in this game. I remembered that I accidentally crossed the streams....and then got an achievement for it...HILARIOUS
Can’t wait to play through this again on my Ps4
You never talked about now the cool cgi cutscenes with the ecto's lights are different from when its in game (like when you can walk up to it in a mission)
I'd call the FBI and get Olivia Dunham and the shepherds from 'Fringe' on it.
thanks. forgot to mention, is it out on the 360 on the 19 or just the ps3?
Good God...I can't believe it's been four years since this came out already. Damn. At any rate, the PC digital download version of this game is on sale for $5 at the moment for anyone interested. I already have it for Xbox360, but I haven't played it since it came out so I'm thinking about trying it on PC and playing through it again.
that library bit in the game scared the hell out of me
Just finished this game in 2020 and I love it
huh lol see that beautiful graphic at 1:36.. the lightbar flashing.. the characters.. liek real from the movie lol..... very proper good job...
I love this game, better than the older one was it on the NES? I can't remember I left all my Last Genartaion games in a big box in the attic, so i can't remeber what it was on. I think it's safe to say this one is way better!
what version of the game are we seeing in this review ...360,ps3 or wii
According to Dan Akroyd, the plot for the game was supposed to be Ghostbusters III. Which means no, it isn't happening.
I wouldn't REALLY call this a movie game, its been YEARS since it has came out, so I'd call it an original, smart idea.
I'd classify something as a "movie game" if the game comes out RIGHT AFTER or before the movie came out.
all in all, yes this is an awesome game.
This may just be me but if I were to ever land a spot in the Cash Cab and I chose to use my phone call whenever Ben Bailey says "Who ya gonna call?" I would take the opportunity and say "GHOSTBUSTERS!!!". Like I said, might just be me.

obviously a little bias but great presentation. Looks like a fun game! I might have bought it, if I weren't getting money for Modern Warfare 2 =P
thank god, finally a good GB's game. looks really fun too, sure beats the hell out of the NES version.
7 years holy crap
Will the PC version have enough Better Graphics to make it worth gettin it on PC? or do we get it on the 360 (for achievements) if you have both??
and why did Bill Murray talk so low? he's very mellow in it and i can only wonder why.
I totally love the game! If you like the movies, you will love this game :) And yeah the bargain on Steam was amazing! I love the attention to detail!
@AmericnOsttle10 I never said you or anyone else were not allowed to like the Ghostbusters game, and secondly, what does the game being made in 2009 have to do with anything?.

is it fun??
im thinking gettin it...
Switch Verson coming in October 2019!!
LOL I also was terrified of the boogey man in the cartoon series. I dont know it just creeped me out with that huge head and goat feet. Really creepy character.
This one of the greatest video games ever made.
In the United States, all the systems excluding mac and PSP had Ghostbusters released on the same day
Thing about the PS3 and the 360 is that the PS3 is totally better in a technical sense, but it's also hard as shit to develop for. Developers are rarely able to use all the potential it has, while the 360 is essentially a PC meaning it's much easier to work with and push to the limit.

safety rule #1 NEVER CROSS THE STREAMS!!!
OK, that what i call a cool indoresment, you heard him people lets strap up and start running some RED LIGHTS!!!
They should of made multiplayer offline too or released a patch/dlc to enable this feature as splitscreen as it would brought even more hours of fun with the multiplayer online. nonetheless this game rocks!! :)
I never get tired of playing this game!
