Ghost Rider: The Game(s)

I wish this game was free roaming. And it seems everyone's complaining about the Hellcycle bits. That's unfortunate. Kind of an opposite with the Batman Begins game. The Tumbler was the best part of the slow/boring Batman Begins game.

Are you kidding? The Tumbler levels were the same thing...over and over. I really liked the BB game. That's the direction that Batman games should go in, dark, slow, detective stories. If I want fast paced action I'll play a Superman game.

If I want a yawnfest where running around the city is more fun then really playing the game, I'll play Spider-Man 2.

But if I want to take my time to move through a super hero game, I'll play BB.
 
Forgot about Spider-Man 2. I did indeed enjoy that one.

I didn't like the Begins game, and I tried pretty hard.

Love the Punisher game, but it's not based off the movie.

Well it had Tom Jane doing the voice and John Saint was Jigsaw for some odd reason so it is sort of connected with the film.
 
No, I'm not kidding. Dark Tomorrow would've been great had it been improved on.
 
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanm!!!! From the looks of one picture. Which is Ghost Rider upper cutting a demon with his fist. I'm sure you'll be able to use your fists!! Which is a big deal for me. The chain and gun aren't enough for me. Any one else agree on being able to fight with your fists?
 
Well, the characters look good (hopefully there's more, I'm sure there is), I have new wallpapers, the new trailer for the game is great, screens are fantastic, and this game looks awesome. I can't wait!:up:
 
And the the reason it's rated T is pretty good. Some suggestive stuff. Parent's won't let their kids touch this.

Another question, how come in some screen shots and videos. Ghost Rider's flame is BLUE? Is that like...super mode or something?
 
man that was cool...Rock On...Rock Off...heh
cant wait to play this thing either...looks really good.
those 2 wallpapers of GR are damn awesome looking....the one w/ GR flying off of the building and the other profile shot of him on a desert highway. Nice!:up:
 
I have the one of him flying of the building as my wallpaper now.:up:

I think the blue flame may be super mode or something. And yes, I saw that rating and thought the EXACT same thing. I wish it had "Language" listed too.

From what i saw the flame turns blue when he yells something like "Vengeance will flow through my body!" in a cool voice, then for a limited time he becomes faster and every enemy you hit will drop some strange orbs... i think it is similar to one of those special mode of devil may cry...
Interesting though, in the movie the blue flame is supposed to express sadness despair and/ord similar emotions, in the game it seems like a higher temperature flame...->more power, more angry?

Anyway i want to preorder the game but i can't find any UK ebgames site!
I fear that if i preorder it now i will get the ntsc USA version!
And i will NEVER buy it in Italy! It's almost double the price! 49 euros? I will wait to preorder it in UK...

*edit*
I have the desert wallpaper, amazing! Also did you noticed that the bios of the enemies are pretty spot on and faithful to the comics? Poor Vengeance though, since they incorporated his comics bike design in the hellcycle, now he rides on...a... thing little skull like...

I saw towards the end of the trailer on the site GR doing a great uppercut move with his right on the giant red horner demon...lifting him up in the air several meters whith great hellfire blaset effect!:D
 
I think the Hellcycle's sliding move is a nice touch.:up:
 
Of course I don't like the fact that the shotgun replaced the hellfire blasts, I'd always looked forward to that in the GR game :csad: If it weren't for the fact That Marvel:UA has hellfire blasts, I'd be more pissed right now.
Otherwise though, the game looks pretty good.
 
The first review is out in the UK. Official Playstation Magazine has it on the cover and gives it a 7 page review. I bought mine in Tescos, so I imagine it's out everywhere. They score it 7/10 and say

When you put the words 'comic book', 'film', 'license' and 'videogame' together, more often that not you're about to witness something horrific. Superman Returns is the most recent case in point. So it's a pleasant surprise when such a game turns up and it's actually rather good, as we've found with Take 2's Ghost Rider.
The game feels satisfyingly self-contained rather than just a movie spin-off.
The gameplay is solid, exquisitely balanced and has a learning curve that stays the right side of patronising, so -- compared to the latest efforts of Superman, Batman and the graduates of the Mutant Academy -- we should be grateful to have something that restores our faith in our comic-book heroes.

There's some other good comments and loads of screenshots I haven't seen before, including a tiny shot of a 2099 skin. The main negative is that they say it's pretty short.
 
2099 skin????? I heard there was a Blaze GR one, but if there's also that one the game is a must!!
Uh, wait a minute, how does the chain works with the chainsaw?

Hopefully you can use your fists as a selection of weapons, and not like parts of combo's. That would be mean :csad:


OH I picked up Ghost Rider: Hell To Pay part 2. It's a good series, not enough action, but it was well written. Can't wait for the next issue.
 
7/10, eh? I have to say, that's significantly better than I thought it'd score. May have to pick that up.

Thanks for the scoop, Msambarlow.

:up:
 
oh man i saw the screenshots for the Gameboy Advance game and im freaking out! the bike level reminds me soo much of super star wars series for the Super Nintendo!

Now that is intriguing. Might pick this up afterall if that's the case.

Now I need to break out my SNES.
 
Can we get magazine scans posted please? I also want to see the GBA shots, plus the article on the PS2 version.

Thanks.
