Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered

Ghostbusters The Video Game 2009 is the cannonical sequel to Ghostbusters 2 and is unironicaly one of my favourite licensed game of all time. It plays like a typical third person shooter but instead of shooting guns you are using the Proton Pack and it's many variations to capture ghosts and solve puzzles. My favourite area the Library makes use of the puzzle mechanic really well and while it's as simple as aim to the object the games want to shoot to create a rope so you can create platforms to move on it can also be used to move objects and even capture ghosts so there's a decent veriety on how each variation of the Proton Pack is used so the gameplay never gets old. The same can be for the enemies, as there's a veriety of them each with their own unique weaknesses and are fun to fight. If i had to desribr the gameplay it would be "TPS Luigi Mansion" but with the Ghostbusters and more gadgets to mess around with. Another thing to appreciate is how they were able to get all the original casting including Dan Ankroyd so the experience can be as close to the original Movies as possible and they successfully captured everything that made the Ghostbusters such a cult classic. But is it "remastered" as the title implies? What changed compared to the og version? Nothing really. The visuals are more crispier and clearlier but it's still the same game from back in the day. And for some reason, it loves changing settings each time you close the game which is definitely an annoyance. Overall, a underrated gem that doesn't get enough credit as it deserves. But i'm glad more people can now play it again after getting delisted years ago with a bit better visuals. Yes, it misses the MP component but it wasn't anything special to be warrant a return begin with so to me that's not a big loss.

It's been a while since I played this game. Well, technically, I have never played THIS game. This is the first time I played the 2019 'Remastered' version of the 2009 "Ghostbusters" game. Not that I really can tell the difference between the original and the remaster that came out a decade later. The textures are a bit sharper, I guess, and they changed the color balance some. Still, the original game captured the look and feel of the movies fairly well, and the remaster doesn't do too much to improve upon that. If all you have is the original, you aren't really missing out by not playing the remaster. Actually, in some respects the Remaster seemed slightly worse. Not visually or in gameplay, but a lot of the scripted events seemed less snappy; I'd be waiting for the characters to move into position to open doors or react to events in a way I didn't recall when I first played the game in 2009. It added a sense of artificiality to the experience; a reminder that this wasn't a fun movie but digital puppets waiting for the perfect moment to say do their thing. Maybe the original game suffered the same problem... but I don't remember it that way. Nonetheless, it was a fairly minor issue. The gameplay is adequate. To be quite honest, it's the second weakest part of the title. The ghost wrangling was fun, but unfortunately that only occupied a fraction of the game. A lot of the enemies were monstrosities you simply shot at until they vaporized. It was only the bigger ghoulies you had to wrestle into the ghost-traps; the smaller fry were hordes of easily defeated poltergeists whose main tactic was to simply run into you. Also, while some of the level design was fantastic, about half of the levels were overly long, linear and repetitive slogs. They were all great to look at, filled with lots of interesting details... but in terms of gameplay some of the levels could have used an editor's touch. I said the gameplay was the second-worst bit of the game; the worst was the voice-acting. Well, not all the voice-acting. Most of the characters --almost all played by the actors from the original movies-- jumped into their roles with gusto, and it was terrific to hear them reprise their roles. With one exception: Bill Murray gave such a lackluster performance that he brought down every scene he was in. Despite this, the game is remarkably fun, and captures everything I loved about the original films. It does a great job of wrapping up the lose ends from the first two movies --much better than the sequels that came out years later-- and I've always considered this to be the 'real' third movie in the franchise. The game captures that weird mix of dry humor, sci-fi action, and supernatural horror that made the movies so memorable. It's not the greatest game in the world, but it definitely is the best Ghostbusters game ever made, and fans of the franchise need to play it at least once.

boy, this remaster is pretty pathetic. i guess i've been spoiled by nightdive, but this release is clunky feeling: in-game cutscenes are animated at a very low FPS, FMV cinematics are blurry and awful looking, settings won't save at all unless you manually make a "GHOSTBUSTERS" folder in %localappdata%, and the controls (especially mouse+keyboard in menus) are just mush. they also have a "30fps" option and a "60fps" option, but neglect to inform you that you can turn both of the settings off to get 120fps (which still doesn't seem to work in cutscenes). the game itself is a bit rough but still one of the best movie-to-video game adaptations to ever happen, but good gosh golly even getting this release on sale for $5 made me pull on my collar out of embarrassment. this game was originally made by the Nocturne devs instead of making a new Nocturne, which stinks, but they did some good work here. unfortunately this remaster was not up to the task of keeping this game feeling as good as it can on modern machines. i hope the original devs at least still got some royalties out of this, though i wouldn't be surprised if they didn't.

A fantastic game for anyone who is even remotely a fan of Ghostbusters. Strap on that proton pack and save the city already!

Beaten 6/10 Good game, very 'xbox 360' era. Excellent, simple combat. Just fun, nothing complicated

Not a remaster.

印象里大概94还是95年有线光纤逐渐在我们家附近慢慢开始普及开来，家家户户开始告别用天线接收电视信号的方式，在那之后没多久我们这边地方台（没记错的话应该是四川妇女儿童频道）会在下午和晚上流动播放一个名为Cartoon Network (中文名为：卡通明星乐园) 的动画节目，并且每天每个时段播放的动画作品都不一样，几乎整个90年代的中后期一到假期似乎感觉电视上都是看不完的卡通动画片，而且这个节目大多为欧美卡通动画为主，大多数作品都为每集类似单元剧形式的独立故事内容，每集之间故事剧情联系也不是很大，《摩登大圣》《 霹雳特警猫》《 叔比狗》《瑜伽熊》《 摩登原始人》《兔八哥》《 大活鸭》《 阿达一族》《杰森一家》《 德克斯特实验室 》《鸡与牛》《黄鼠狼威索》《飞天小女警》《胆小狗英雄》《捣蛋三傻》《杜皮与杜宝》《无敌神猫》《鳄鱼威利》《两只笨狗》，以及深受小女孩喜欢的《小小露露秀》和《小红帽洽洽》(后者算是在我记忆里在这里播放的唯一一部日本动画) 等等， 都是那个时候认识的的。其中当年对我冲击最大的两个作品，一个是科幻动画 《乔尼大冒险》，还有一个就这个 《捉鬼特工队》了（后来有网络了才知道这只是该作品的97版动画），这个是之前看过的日本动画和国产动画没有能给我的全新风格体验，并且题材和剧本在当时看来很新颖很超前。 此款游戏是2009年PS3上推出的《捉鬼特工队》重置版，除了画面表现升级外，玩法大致旧版本相同，但移除了多人合作模式，第三人称的射击的玩法，很有电影里的抓鬼的感觉，游戏大量还原了各种电影场景和角色们幽默搞笑的特色风格，人物更是有原班人马演出和配音，剧情发生在电影第二集之后两年，可以说这款游戏是《捉鬼特工队》真正的续作！”

¡Muy buen juego de los míticos Cazafantasmas! Es un juego que ya tiene sus años y hay que verlo como tal, pero sigue siendo muy entretenido. Tiene la historia y el humor característicos de los Cazafantasmas y, sobre todo, ¡puedes jugarlo con amigos! Súper recomendado si lo que quieren es simplemente pasar un buen rato y reírse.

fun game to play, graphics are great too 10/10

the official third ghostbusters movie, and no, that is not a joke this game has facinated me ever since i was a kid, i was never a huge ghostbusters fan, but something about the story behind this was always so neat, it's a fine game, some parts haven't aged well in the slightest, it's probably the best movie tie in game i've played, i'd reccomend it to people who don't mind a bit of weird jank
