Ghostbusters: The Video Game Critic Reviews

A fantastic game, and definitely what I was hoping for when I first saw those initial screenshots a while back. The capturing mechanic is fun and interesting, while at the same time being tied into familiar third person controls for shooter fans, so there's nothing here that takes a lot of time to get used to.

Ghostbusters: The Videogame is possibly one of the best adaptations ever done of a film to a videogame. Its secret is a very detailed ambience, but the best thing is that it not only plays with our nostalgia, it also has great playability. The absence of Rick Moranis is the only thing that prevents the game from being perfect, but if you love the films this is what you've always dreamed of.

Robust, charming and impeccably presented. Impossible not to enjoy.

A love letter to the much loved movie and a pretty decent and often original shooter to boot.

A blisteringly energetic, entertaining experience. It might lack variety on a basic level but it’s still engagingly solid, if not out-and-out spectacular.

The gang’s all here—well, except for Louis. Terminal Reality might have created the only true Ghostbusters game, ever, but it’s about as good as we could have asked for (could have used more Murray, though). Who you gonna call? Atari for some DLC.

If you're a fan of the Ghostbusters franchise, you definitely need to play this game.

The story remains suitably compelling and entertaining throughout, but it's the intuitive controls and strength of the ghostbusting itself that'll keep you playing.

Too short, but packed with quality and imagination.

My hat is off to Terminal Reality... they may have just created the best movie game of all time.

Ghostbusters: The Video Game looks, sounds and feels like Ghostbusters. And that's pretty much enough. Excellent entertainment for casual gamers.

Ghostbusters won't change the way you think about videogame design, but it will change the way you think about licensed games. The gameplay isn't brilliant, but this is a loving third installment to a cherished franchise, and we thoroughly enjoyed the journey.

Warts and all, you can't do much better than Ghostbusters if you're looking for a game that is above all else, just plain fun.

The gameplay is a little basic at first, however as you play, you have access to more items and weapons, only adding to your gaming experience.

I'd easily recommend that you go out and pick up this little gem of a licensed game and add it to your pile.

There are some flaws, including the lack of a local co-op mode, however there is just so much that was done right that you can't help but have a blast. It may not be everything you ever wanted out of a Ghostbusters game, but it's as close as you're going to get to perfection at this point.

As a Ghostbusters fan, this game came through by delivering an entertaining experience with plenty of laughs and just the right amount of action.

You don’t have to be a fan of the movies to really enjoy Ghostbusters: The Video Game but if you are you are in for a very pleasant surprise.

Ghostbusters is the perfect example of how to treat a cherished license right. The game plays great, looks great, and really captures the essence of what makes the series so beloved.

Ghostbusters is a really enjoyable game to play and fans won't be disappointed in this title. Well worth your cash.
