Slimer Edition... sorta June 19, 2009
By goatdan
Platform for Display:PLAYSTATION 3|Edition:Slimer Edition - Amazon.com Exclusive
Fun:   
Just a quick overview for those looking into buying the Slimer Edition versus the regular edition. This is a review of this particular edition and what it contains, and NOT a review of the game, which is pretty spectacular.

Quick background -- I've been a huge Ghostbusters fan every since I first saw the movie when I was quite young. I loved it ever since, and have collected some neat stuff from the series. When the Slimer Edition was announced, I said what the heck and canceled my GameStop pre-order and bought one of these

So, here's the dirt. Amazon has been a little cagey about how this would all come, and I now know why...

The Ectomobile light thing is nice looking. It is a little cheaper looking than the Johnny Rocket cars, but it has a lot of detail and a nice little box.

Unfortunately, it is the only addition I don't have some sort of issue with.

The Gamer Graffix Skinz isn't so much a console skin but instead it is simply a big sheet of poofy stickers. It's got the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man and Slimer on it with the firehouse symbol, but the only console it would fit on would be the PS3, and it would look ridiculous. I mean, I wasn't looking much forward to this part of the package anyway, and it still came up short. I was expecting to make the console into the look of the firehouse or something, but nope. Four poofy stickers.

Next up, the Slimer Bust. It's cool. Actually, it's really cool. The complaint about Slimer being a little too see-through stands, but it definitely looks like Slimer direct from the movies. However, Amazon stated that you would receive with this a "certificate of authenticity signed by the sculptor himself." I thought this was really neat, and was very excited to get it. So, when I pulled out the cards and found out that it was a copy of the artist's signature, I couldn't help but be disappointed. Amazon -- don't tell us it will really be signed if it isn't. If it had been called a 'Certificate of Authenticity' and didn't mention it being signed, I wouldn't be disappointed. Thanks to that, I'm disappointed.

And speaking of failure, the biggest thing -- Amazon has been advertising the packaging for the game to be different. Hell, I was literally thinking about buying all three of the Slimer versions to hold onto them as investments. Thank god I didn't -- The game IS THE NORMAL VERSION. The slip cover shown on here?

It's false advertising. Yes, I know when you click on the graphic, it says that it doesn't necessarily represent the final look, but the final look was THE NORMAL GAME. Seriously? I outlaid an extra $50 at least in part because I wanted some different and exclusive artwork. Maybe that's lame, but it's true. And to have IDENTICAL artwork to the regular release? Amazon -- just advertise it as what it is -- Buy Ghostbusters and get more crap with it.

This is NOT a Slimer Edition. It's the game with some cool extras.

Having said that, the game is great and the extras if you are a Ghostbusters fan are well worth it. But if you're thinking of buying this as a video game collector looking for a rare version of a game in the future, don't bother.

Fun:   
So the game costs around 60 bucks, and if you are reading this is because you opted (like me) to buy the slimer edition.
I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS with the game... if you are a fan you will enjoy this game.
As for the "extras" that 50 bucks buy you, again, if you are a fan you are going to be pleased. What REALLY bothers me is amazon's poor description of this "special edition"

1.- After reading the description youd think that it includes an ORIGINAL certificate of authenticity signed by Steve Johnson himself.... You do get one, but its a copy... its not an original certificate of authenticity.
(When I bought the slimer edition I thought Id frame slimer's bust with the certificate thinking it would be an original, but not)

2.- When I preordered I thought that the GAME ITSELF would be a special edition (the cover of the game). Amazon put an original game copy and sent me to my email the "Special Edition Label" for me to print and insert on my game copy......... I mean, seriously.... have you ever heard of this before?
The PDF they send you EVEN COMES WITH A LAME WATERMARK that says "This image does not reflect the final package"
I mean, come on!

I contacted Amazon's customer service and they offered me a refund... I dont want a refund, I want a Special edition of the game!....
Im still keeping it, but amazon should consider updating the info on this game description

Fun:   
If you are a Ghostbusters fan you are sure to like this game. It's very fun and just like the movie in every aspect but is fairly easy to beat. My six-year-old Son was able to beat the game on medium difficulty in about a week. He still loves playing the game and is now playing it again on the hardest level. You can play single player or multi-player online where you play for and accumulate points and unlock different weapons and upgrades. There is only one problem that I see with the game. It freezes up a lot during sections of the game that have a lot of action. It gets really annoying after a while because it happens so frequently.

It's not worth getting the 'Slimer' Edition. The figurine that comes with isn't worth the extra cost over the basic game.
