Ghostbusters: The Game

Submitted by Elysium on June 17, 2008 – 3:20 am41 Comments

I saw Stay Puft when I went to the London MCM Expo and had to snap this photo. So, that’s right folks! Your favourite Ghostbusting team are back in action this Autumn!

Set for release Sept 26th 2008 here in the UK, this game is set for a nice firm place in my “To bloody buy!” list. I have always been such a huge fan of the franchise and Stay Puft is too damn adorable to avoid. The game doesn’t look like it’ll set any new standards here, but if you’re a fan of the series you’re going to have to give this one a go for sure! I can’t wait to see what the achievements will be personally.

And I want to quickly apologise here – Due to me having to pack up and move I’ve not had a chance to really have time to sit down and write out an article for G&G. Things have been totally hectic for me, but this will change soon and I’ll be back in full force with lots of super articles for everyone!

Until then, have a trailer:

    AWESOME!!!!!! Looks like tons of fun! BUT the million dollar question is…Co-op? If it is that would be the icing on th cake ! :)

  • Ravenous Wulf says:

    The game does look interesting, and yeah Co-op on that would be killer. You would think that more games would have a Co-op system as it has become more and more popular

  • Ace of gir says:

    I just found out that there’s no campaign co-op. That breaks me in small pieces and makes them all cry. (http://www.xboxfocus.com/news/265-ghostbusters-game-co-op-dlc-and-more/index.html)

  • Ravenous Wulf says:

    Yeah that bites, but for all of you that play COD the next one will have 4 player online co-op so that will be tight. And you know Gears 2 will have Co-op as well. So at least we do have some to look forward to.

  • TrickyStudlyStud says:

    I feel like you are all missing the big picture here. GHOSTBUSTERS!!! Although I will probably not get the chance to play the game, it still looks like it would be fun.

  • miss h0wie L0ng says:

    hey this actually looks pretty fun! so it’s for the 360, then? seems like it’d be a kick on the wii as well…

  • Ravenous Wulf says:

    ouch can you say sooooooore arms on the Wii *LOL* yeah it does look like a blast but I wish more developers would get on the Co-op band wagon

  • miss h0wie L0ng says:

    hahah i know that’s why i love the wii….it’s exercise but i’m fooling my body into thinking it’s just fun. pretty genius, really.
    but i totally agree with you girls on the co-op business, it makes gaming just that more enjoyable. i was SO bummed when my boyfriend told me you couldn’t split-screen cod4. it’s like….what? inconceivable! we should just all get together and start a new developing company and show ‘em how it’s done! who’s with me?!

  • Smiles MD says:

    “I just found out that there’s no campaign co-op.” NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! when will people realize that videogames are more fun CO-OP!

    I mean geez they act like the vidoegame world is a bunch of fat kids with no friends :(

    Just staying true even to the name… seriously GHOSTBUSTERS!!! plural!! bunch of liars they should call it Ghostbuster! Not one episode of ghostbusters had 1 guy getting the ghosts… Come on even in scary ghost movies ATLEAST 2 people go and check for ghosts not ONE! (guess u can tell i’m disappointed)

  • x The Advent x says:

    I read a bit about Ghostbusters in Game Informer, and where the article didn’t really grab my attention, the franchise always does. I loved Ghostbusters in my youth. I don’t remember much about the movies, but my friends and I spent hours playing Ghostbusters instead of house, and those were hours well-spent. I really think they could do a lot with the game.

  • Smiles MD says:

    I agree Advent I would rather a game be delayed and well developed than rushed to be put on the market and be below its potential…. a perfect example is H3 they delayed it forever but once it came out it was worth every minute of the wait :)

  • x The Advent x says:

    So is there really not going to be any co-op? Or is that something that might change down the line? That would be so unfortunate.

  • Smiles MD says:

    Well, someone up above did some investigation and found out there is no co-op

    How dissappointing.. but i guess we’ll know better closer to its release :(

  • x The Advent x says:

    I am really digging co-op features in games these days. I enjoyed going through Halo and GoW a lot more with one partner (the latter) or several (the former). It was just so much more fun!

  • Ravenous Wulf says:

    yeah Co-op is deffinetely a big maker for these games, both COD5 and Gow2 will have 4 player co-op from what I am hearing

  • x The Advent x says:

    That’s what was really lacking in CoD4 for me. It could have really used co-op. It would have been nice if the first GoW had four player co-op, but two worked just fine for me as well. I’ve probably went through the entirety of that game more times than any other game I own for the 360.

  • Ravenous Wulf says:

    yeah I played the shit out of GOW Co-op the level I hated the worst was when one guy is driving and the other is having to use the light beam to kill the krill..I swear me and my friend played that and were down to the last leg when we made it through*LOL* it was the shit

  • x The Advent x says:

    Oh my God. I hate that so much. There were some tense moments while I was going through that on co-op. Let’s just say that blame was placed on each player multiple times and there was a lot of cursing! It was still fun though.

  • Smiles MD says:

    OOHHH 4-player Coop for GoW2 how nice… ROFL!!! “krill” ohh how i remember that part… that was HARD!! LOL good time though :)

    I am all about the multiplayer.. a game is soo much more fun with a friend or four.. cheer to H3 for making a mark and proving 4 player co-op can be done..

  • x The Advent x says:

    Now if Halo’s campaign could have been longer /story better. But we can’t ask too much, right Smiles? And although I loved Gears of War, they might as well title the next one Gears of War : The Story Never Told. :P

  • Ravenous Wulf says:

    yeah there was alot of story left out on Gears. But it very well should be interesting with 4 people and the ability to crawl away now when your downed

  • x The Advent x says:

    I think, also, that they will fill in / elaborate a lot. There isn’t much that could ruin GoW 2 for me.

  • Ravenous Wulf says:

    yeah i heard that, that they were going to explain some things that happened but were not explained. It should be very interesting to say the least. looking forward to seeing what kind of improvements they make

  • x The Advent x says:

    What was the deal with Fenix’s Dad? I mean, seriously? And tell me more about Marcus’s trial. Definitely very curious.

  • Ravenous Wulf says:

    and I would like to know what Dom did that the guy in that camp owed him one….maybe just me but I think there is a story there

  • x The Advent x says:

    I know! I totally wondered that too. Maybe we’ll get that backstory as well.

  • Ravenous Wulf says:

    I mean I hate not knowing something, worst thing you can say to me is….I know something you don’t know…(that was not an invitation drive me crazy smiles*LOL*) I mean I saw that and immediatly wanted to know what the back story on it was….still driving me crazy

  • Smiles MD says:

    yes the untold GoW story.. good Title Advent

    i think the 2nd GoW would be awesome if they filled in the story from the first and developed it but I will take great game play anyday of a storyline… so if the GoW2 is AWESOME and the story is still lacking I’m a happy gamer :)

    LOL that sure was a big fat invitation RAV!

    I KNOW SOMETHING YOU DON’T KNOW!! :)

  • Ravenous Wulf says:

    ahhh(holds my fingers in my ear saying na na na na na I can’t hear you smiles)*LOL* Yeah I should have kept my big mouth shut*LOL*

  • x The Advent x says:

    She may know something that you don’t know, but so do I. I could always tell you. . . ahah.

  • Ravenous Wulf says:

    LOL you two are about to drive me crazy*LOL* and thats not a far drive on the best of days :)

  • x The Advent x says:

    Good! mission accomplished, then. I’m going to take you to a special room. Don’t mind the padded walls. And here’s a jacket you need to put on. . .

  • Ravenous Wulf says:

    Oh white is my favorite color how considerate of you *LOL*

  • x The Advent x says:

    Just for you, Rav. You may feel like you can’t escape. That’s just. . .a feeling. Everything is going to be okay. Someone will be here later with your. . . medications. Nothing special. You just have a sickness. And if you take medicine it will help you get. . .better.

  • Ravenous Wulf says:

    Oh holy shit that was feaking hilarious*LOL* funny thing is you sound like you have said that a time or two…uh oh looking for men with white coats and a nice white jacket for me to wear*LOL*

  • x The Advent x says:

    Shhh, shh. This isn’t anything bad. It’s not going to hurt. . . too badly. It’ll just be a small shock. A couple of small shocks. It’s going to help you get better, again. You want to get better, don’t you? *smirk*

  • Ravenous Wulf says:

    LOL OMFG I think I like insanity better thank you very much*LOL* no electric shock therepy here

  • x The Advent x says:

    Hahah I couldn’t help it. I can’t believe sometimes shock therapy is still used (from what I’ve heard).

  • Ravenous Wulf says:

    ouch for some reason Ghost Busters comes into mind everytime I think of Shock Therapy*LOL* Bill Murrey FTW*LOL*

  • x The Advent x says:

    Billy Murray is so funny! There’s nothing like Groundhog Day, by the way. Ahahaha. I loved that movie when I was young.

  • Ravenous Wulf says:

    LOL yeah bill murray is the shit, how about “what about bob” and no one made a better games keeper in caddyshack*LOL*
