i got my ps3 copy early on friday - compliments of sony…i am going to keep this really brief … the acting, the details, the weapons. everything was great however the plot could have been a bit better. the game play was really smooth and fun from cappin to trappin. i even loved the 3rd person pke scanning…it gives the game a great double value. everything was great except 2 things. 1. the dying / revival issue. i thought these guys were experianced yet im saving them more than they save me!!! 2. too short but not the shortest. all this being said: as a ghostbuster fan being born in 1984 and still following it and loving the franchise dearly, to being involved in the music and entertainment industry, and being an avid gamer…all i can say is this game roccs!! i expect the sequal to have fixed the issues i mentioned and for the game to be the dark knight of sequal video games!!! thank god everything from the ghostbusters world translated into this game almost perfectly so fellow fans: have fun tonight and enjoy playing. this is a victory for not only [dan aykroyd](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/people/dan-aykroyd) who has been fighting for years to make somethign happen…it is a victory for us heartfilled and loving fans who have also been fighting all these years and keeping hope alive. i love this game bottom line! ---

I was wondering, last year there was some art image with [Egon Spengler](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/characters/egon-spengler) shooting at a great white shark…is that scene in the game? It would be great if that scene would be in it…and maybe they could do some reference to jaws..like we gonna need a bigger proton gun instead of we gonna need a bigger boat. Best regards, Robert ---

I got hold of my copy at Wal-Mart in Baldwin Park, CA last night shortly after midnight and have been playing it since I got home. It’s time for bed now, but I wanted to let everyone know that has been waiting for this game that it is SO worth it! Go exploring through the fire house and interact with the toilets, shower, the toaster on the pool table and listen to all the messages on the answering machine. Great stuff there. And the story is holding up very well. I just got past the [library ghost](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/characters/library-ghost) and started the museum before deciding it was time for bed (I gotta’ work 2 jobs today) but I wanted to jump in and let everybody know how much this game actually does rule! Rock On and I can’t wait to see what everyone else has to say about it. ---

Thanks for the information. At least i’ve read that the game is great. It would be nice if they had put that scene in it. I did print that picture with egon and the shark. really loved that one. Hope that everyone have a great gametime.. I still have to wait a few days. best regards, Robert ---

This is very much a third movie, and you get be in it. My copy is en route as we speak, so I am looking forward to today being nothing but ghostbusters!

This game has exceeded my expectations so far. The story is excillent and the gameplay is so much fun. I really haven’t plate a game this fun at all!! The DS version is pretty nifty also. I’ll probably be getting the iPhone version this weekend. This is truly a dream come true!!! ---

Overall I like the game a lot. I have not played multiplayer as of yet, so this is just based off the story mode, as I have beaten it. It was VERY fun to play; ghost catching/trapping is pulled off VERY well and the story and pace is engaging and true to the franchise. All levels were all very appropriate. MOST graphics were very nice, and it was executed so well if you are a fan. It was a very linear experience, as advertised, but it worked well and was the only way to pull off a movie game like this I think. My Con’s: Too short…I finished it in about 9.5 hours and wasn’t rushing at all. I was hoping it to be another maybe 5 hours Some backgrounds were lazily designed and some poor synching of voices with animation. Could be more polished Animation choppy when there is a lot of action Not enough exploration/ artifacts to find for my taste 2 of the weapons were a little boring/ didn’t really add to the gameplay, which otherwise was very strong for me Reviving teammates was a needed part of the game, but there was too much of it at times Repetitive lines during action Those complaints are everything I can thiink of and did not detract from a very solid game which is about as fun as any game I’ve every played. Gameplay: 8.5 Graphics 8.0 Sound 8.0 Difficulty 8.0 Concept 9.0 Overall 8.3 ---

I’m liking a fair amount. The concept of shooting something and it not reacting, like bullets, feels very alien, but weirdly refreshing. The concept of ghostbusting in itself is really different and interesting to play. Although I’m barely an hour in.
