Ghostbusters: The Video Game

Publisher: Atari
Developer: Terminal Reality, 2009

PC/Wii/Xbox360/PS3/DS/PSP(Coming Soon)
Level of Difficulty: 3.5 out of 5
ESRB Rating: T

1UPs: Captured the fun of the Ghostbusters movies in a surprisingly fun video game. The mechanics of capturing a ghost and the variations on the proton pack seem to fit, and are all fun to use. The fact that the original cast reprises their roles and write the script for this make it something very fun to be a part of. Multiplayer works very well, and they build on the theme seen throughout the game: teamwork.

Goombas: The biggest downside to Ghostbusters is the lack of co-op play in the main campaign. To team up with a buddy versus Stay-Puft would make this game a dream come true for any Ghostbusters fan. Noticed a few substantial bugs in multiplayer as you try to trap ghosts, but most of the time the game ran like a dream.

Rent or Buy: Buy - If you've never had the chance to dabble in the paranormal, and would love to do so in the most entertaining way possible, pick this one up!
Price: $25.99-$55.99 depending on the console.
