The Official GHOSTBUSTERS Thread

[SpideyForPrez]

Anyone play the PS2/Wii version? Is it any good? I know its a different game but does it hold up well? Is it worth checking out in addition to the PS3/360 one?

I bought the game so I could play co-op locally with my brother. To be honest, it's kind of annoying. This is more of a Wii complaint than against the actual game, but the camera angle is annoying cause you have to keep the wii-mote pointed straight all the time. I'm a lazy gamer I guess.

It also moves really quick and is a bit too easy. We haven't died once yet. And once you get a ghost over a trap it immediately captures it. Using the wii-mote if fun for awhile but it gets repedetive and frustrating (unlike the PS3/360 version).

For the most part it's the same story and levels as the PS3/360, but certain stuff is left out. Most of the ghosts are just blue and purple slimers, no bellhop ghosts, no gargoyles or book golems.

My brother and I just made it to the ghost world library, and we really have no desire to continue. We put it down and just took turns on the PS3.

I'm still having fun with the game 3 weeks after it's release. Awesome online mode.

Same. Im at my familys beach house at the moment with other family and friends so i havent been on it really other than to show some of my family members the game. Once i get back home, im sure ill jump right back on it.

 

[spidey-dude]

whats your fav online mode (aka whats the best to play) I dont fancy goin through them all cos I only get an hour or 2 max time a day for games

I only wish the PS3 version was two-player. I think this might be the first game I can get my wife to enjoy playing with me.

Also, does anyone else keep getting kicked out on multiplayer on the loading screen after everyone is ready? It happens every other time. Or I get a "Failed to join session" message. Gets annoying.

Yeah, that happens to me a lot and other people I play with complain about it. Really annoying, anyone with the 360 version ever have that happen?

And Spidey-Dude, my favorite mode to play online is survival mode. All you have to do is survive 10 waves of ghosts, it can get intense on some maps. It's my favorite cause on the Office and Rooftop maps Staypuft shows up for the 10th wave! t: Fighting Staypuft with four people online is great fun, especially if you cross the streams to finish him off.

The game is great. But anyone else think it's a tad too short?

Id prob say Survival. I'm a big fan of the Horde mode in Gears 2 and Survival is similar. Lots of fun.

No. Iv never had that happened and i play quite a bit of MP.

I thought it was about right. I mean I'm all for longer games, but this is about an 8-10 hour game, and by todays action game standards, thats about right. I finished my 1st play through in just under 8 hours but missed a ton of stuff.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

This game should have mic only settings for MP. Its too much of a pain in the ass to play with ppl who dont communicate and dont know what the hell they are doing. Why ppl even bother going on Live without a mic will always make me scratch my head.

 

[Timstuff]

I've been playing this game for about a week, and it's AWESOME! This is easily one of the best games based on a movie (series) that I've had the pleasure of playing. It's dead-on accurate to the source material, and most importantly, it's a ton of fun to play! The engine it's running on is quite impressive as well! I MUST PLAY MOAR TOMORROW!

 

[BlackLantern]

I am in the midst of artifact hunting....ive found all of the artifacts in the Sedgewick and Times Square so far

 

[Lord Valumart]

finished the game a few hours ago, the end boss was really easy after that whole slamming the stone angels and getting ecto 1 through the gates bit.

anyhow, went to play through to collect stuff and scan ghosts and all my scans and artifacts had gone. nothing was there...sucky

 

[BlackLantern]

that sucks for you LV....ive been able to just go to 'Replay Mission' and it tells you on the bottom how many scans and artifacts you have

 

[Lord Valumart]

yeh, i went to replay mission and all i had was the end boss scaned. i was only missing a few ghosts and artifacts before that...

looks like more ghostbusters for me

 

[Mister Sinister]

Up next, who ya gonna call? Sackboy!

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Haha thats awesome. I need to get LBP.

 

[Nathan]

I hope we get Sackboys in Ghostbusters suits. The ghost alone would be disappointing.

 

[Tron Bonne]

They rarely ever just do one costume for licenses stuff like that. They usually have about 4-5. They might even do levels based on Ghostbusters, like they did with the MGS stuff they released for LBP

 

[Lucien]

Is that really a bad thing tho?

Did you replay on the same difficulty? I didn't and it wiped my career.

 

[Mike_D202]

I'm not understanding any of these promos. What the hell is sackboy?

 

[StrainedEyes]

I'm not understanding any of these promos. What the hell is sackboy?

The main character from Little Big Planet.

 

[BlackLantern]

yea...not an LBP fan...really not caring

 

[gregtestagent]

XBL is going to have a co-op night for GB on July 9, see you there.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Yep, it's from the platforming game LittleBigPlanet on PS3. They've been doing a lot of licenses skin for Sackboy in similar veins to this. Also ones based on animals and mythology, that sort of thing

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Sackboy is the mascot/protagonist of LittleBigPlanet, a PS3 platforming game centered on user-made content. You can dress your Sackboy up in costumes, and it looks like they'll be getting some Ghostbusters costumes soon.
