Ghostbusters: the Video game

"Who you gonna call?" those words have been synonymous with the classic 1984 and 1989 films written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis that are just brilliantly written to be funny tale of a group of ghost hunters who capture ghosts. Both movies are considered classics because of icons like the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man and Slimer.

Twenty years after the last movie, Ghostbusters: the video game is released. Set in 1991, the Ghostbuster business has been growing and the group deicides to hire a new "Rookie" to help out. This "Rookie" gets the job of carrying Egon's (Harold Ramis) new, untested equipment and you are excited so much about that. All of the original cast returns to have there voice be captured in this new light. From Janine Melnitz (Annie Potts) answering the phone with her line "Ghostbuster, what do you want?", and Ray (Aykroyd) and Egon (Ramis) taking in terms that you have no clue what they are saying. The humor from the movies is still retained with scenes when Peter Venkman gets slimed by Slimer in the first movie, or the dancing toaster from the second one.

The story was written by Aykroyd and Ramis, so it does continue off of the original, and does include the car, Ecto-1b which comes with new equipment to help the "Rook" throughout the game. The story also has a few twists that give the player something new to expect and not feel like you can guess the next part. The ghosts actually act like ghosts in that they will fight you, go through walls, throw things at you, and just act mischievous at times.

But the thing that sets this apart is that it comes with a multiplayer mode which allows you to go online and be a ghostbuster with your friends or random people you have never met. You can choose your profession, and what ghostbuster you can be. Most people that play online seem to be very nice and not like in other games where they swear when Overall, this game is truly a delight to play, and now that it has been out the price is down and you are able to get it cheaper that when it first came out.
