Ghostbusters is a decent game to play especially to people who are fans of the film series. Busting makes you feel Good!
This is an all-brand-new story not made into a film and the story is written by the 2 same people who wrote the other 2 Ghostbusters films Dan Ackroyd and Harold Ramis.
The Story takes place in 1991, 2 years after Ghostbusters 2 and the Ghostbusters team have recruited a new and 5th Paranormal Investigator which is your character in the game you play also known as the Rookie. You get to battle out all your favourite Ghosts such as Slimer at the Sedgewick Hotel and the infamous Marshmallow Man Stay Puft but he's in Times Square this time.
You team up with the original Ghostbusters which were all voiced by the same actors who played them in the other 2 Ghostbusters films:
Ray Stanz voiced by Dan Ackroyd
Egon Spengler voiced by Harold Ramis
Peter Venkman voiced by Bill Murray
Winston Zeddmore voiced by Ernie Hudson
Some other characters do make a return in the game including:
Janine Melnitz voiced by Annie Potts
And the most annoying thing throughout the game, you get to work with Walter Peck aka Dickless voiced by William Atherton from the Environmental Protection Agency who shut off the Protection Grid from the first Ghostbusters film.
Using the Wii Remote as the Proton Pack is fun and epecially when catching you ghost, you have to swing the Remote to weaken the ghost before putting it in a trap.
There 4 different Streams to the Proton Pack and they are:
The Blast Stream - to catch a ghost.
The Slime Blower - destroy the negative slime and make it positive and free anyone who is posessed by posessed ghosts.
The Shock Stream - Makes a powerful shockwave to weaken a ghost.
The Freeze Stream - Freezes Ghosts that are coming towards you.
The game is great and pretty short all the way through but this game is for the fans of the Ghostbusters series and during each mission, you can play co.op mode or just play on your own and just before you start a new game, you can play your character as a man or a woman which I find pretty strange.
But anyway the game feels like the cartoon TV series because the game itself has cartoon style graphics just like the PS2, PSP and DS version but the Xbox 360, PS3 ans PC versions have realistic graphics but that doesn't matter.
There is one problem in this game that I find rather annoying which is that when the game loads up a level, it sometimes freezes and a bug occurs during loading time. When that happens I intend to switch off the Wii Console and turn it on again and try again without that problem if possible so it will eventually work at the end anyway if possible.
At the end, Ghostbusters: The Video Game is good and if you have not seen the 2 other Ghostbusters films, you should see them first before playing this game and Busting makes you feel Good!
