So this morning, I finally beat, “Ghostbusters – The Video Game”. The game was really good. Not the best of the year though.

The graphics in the game was really good. Action was fun, story was fun. I was most impressed with the game’s home theater surround sound. The sound was incredible on the game.

Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd both wrote the script for the game, this game was originally supposed to be the script for “Ghostbusters 3”, but this plot got turned into a video game instead.

My only complaints is that the bosses at the end of each level were a bit too easy…but they make the ghost battles in the middle of the levels pretty challenging and very hard. I wish they made the bosses more difficult. I’m also dissapointed that there is no Louis Tully and Dana Barrett. I remember Rick Moranis and Sigourney Weaver both turned down the game, so I can understand why those two characters were written out of the script.

This game was fun and a blast to play, but wish it could have been better. It could have a better ending sequence too.

Will Atari make another “Ghostbusters” video game for a sequel? I’m sure there will be another one. Only thing though, since now the Ghostbusters are mostly focused on recruiting new Ghostbusters and since there is a “Ghostbusters 3” movie in the works, I imagine they’ll make another video game after “Ghostbusters 3” is made and released. In the next video game will probably have the 4 new recruits as the leading characters, not Peter, Egon, Ray and Winston.

Anyhow, in “Ghostbusters – The Video Game”, it stayed true to the first two films. It was similar to the first two films. It added it’s usual mix with comedy, horror, and ghost stories. Yes, this game was actually kind of creepy and scary in some parts, as a few parts made me jump a little bit.

The guy’s voicing the original Ghostbusters: Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson, Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd all did a great job.

This is a good game for all Ghostbusters fanatics and I would reccomend it!

In other video game news, now that I finished this game, I will start “Batman: Arkham Asylum” today. Yesterday at Best Buy, I picked up the game, “Demon’s Souls”, a dark fantasy action adventure role playing type of game, I won’t start that game yet though, I want to play “Batman: Arkham Asylum” next.
