    "The one, the only, GHOSTBUSTERS!"

    By ImpSlayer | Review Date: Jun 25, 2007 | SMS

    Yes, the NES version looked more like 2600 than NES. Sure the other versions weren't very much better. But this is the shining version. The GB's resemble real people. The music is a masterpiece for its time. And the anim... Read Full Review

    Slightly better than the NES version.

    By Copper40 | Review Date: Oct 28, 2011 | 2600

    So far I've checked out two versions already. The NES one, which is the most notable one, was considered one of the worst NES games of all time. But the Master System one was a huge hit. The Atari 2600 version of Ghos... Read Full Review

    Congratulations! You had the patience to sit through this awful game!

    By Copper40 | Review Date: Oct 20, 2011 | NES

    Of all the NES games I know of, this one ranks as one of the top 10 worst. But why is it so bad? The first thing you'll notice is the ghostbusters theme. Now I understand this is a ghostbusters game, but we can't stan... Read Full Review

    A huge improvement from the god-awful NES version.

    By Copper40 | Review Date: Sep 13, 2010 | SMS

    When it comes to a ghostbusters game, I'd probably get this one or the Genesis version, whichever you choose is up to you. This game made so many improvements from the horrible NES version. 1. New ghost types, not jus... Read Full Review

    a horrible game made in short time to cash in.

    By dan171717 | Review Date: Sep 01, 2010 | NES

    This game is a piece of utter crap. It is easily the worst game I have ever played. there is nothing good about it, other than the title screen. Don't buy it, not even for 1p or the smallest unit of currency you have. D... Read Full Review

    A game scary enough to scare a ghost

    By PrinceofGames12 | Review Date: Jul 03, 2010 | NES

    I think we can all agree on one thing, not all movies can make great games, but we can also agree there should be no excuse as to some movie based games shouldn't suck, take for example the popular movie franchise turned... Read Full Review

    This game isn't so much BAD, or poorly made, it is just BORING.

    By Shadowtails9000 | Review Date: Nov 24, 2009 | NES

    Okay; I loved the Ghostbusters movie; so I thought I would check out the game, hoping to bust some ghosts, good ole' fun. What I got was not necessarily a HORRIBLE game, but a very... dull game. You see; you start off at... Read Full Review

    "Good, compared to watching paint dry, watching grass grow, or watching paint dry on growing grass!!"

    By AGuyFromSmoof | Review Date: Jul 09, 2009 | NES

    I might as well, do this with the good and the bad thing, if you don't want to read all of this, so... The good: The game offers a realistic ghostbusting experience for the time of the NES. It has a good 8-bit rendi... Read Full Review

    Totally Trash!

    By ashcatash | Review Date: Apr 05, 2009 | NES

    There are better things to do than playing this game - like washing your hair, for example, or watching paint dry. I don't think the creators cared anything about either movie fans or video game buffs when they made thi... Read Full Review

    One of the worst movie-to-NES games ever made!

    By 12534554 | Review Date: Jun 15, 2008 | NES

    One word: BORING. This game is boring. True, blasting ghosts up to begin with can be fun, driving round in the ecto-1, it`s all fun to begin wiht but after about 5 minuites, it gets boring and repetitive. And the gramme... Read Full Review
