I bought this for my husband for Christmas. I was shocked at all the extras that came along with it! He absolutely loved the ghost that came with it! We were both surprised at how big the figure actually was. The car and stickers were just an extra bonus. The game is fun and a great gift for any fan of Ghostbusters!

This review is from: Ghostbusters the Video Game Amazon.com Exclusive Slimer Edition (Video Game)

i had bought this version over the regular wii version to see what the statue had looked like. it looks kind of neat. its a plastic statue not a polystone or resin.
the key chain looks neat i wanted to add it to my keys but i guess ill just keep it in the box. as you notice by the picture of the game, the case doesnt come with the slimer cover. you have to print one out when they email you a link.
now onto the game play. the game is pretty fun especially when you have two players. thats what i liked about this version compared to the ps3 and 360. even though i might get the ps3 version for graphics as the graphics in this game is cartoony; which isnt bad but i would have like it if the characters actually looked like the movie counterparts. the story is decent and the game play isnt bad. you control your proton blaster with the wii remote which i also like over the competition's versions, its more fun and draws you into the game. once you have locked onto a ghost after you got its power down you have to swing your remote in the direction the arrows are pointing to in order to knockout the ghost while hitting the b button to release the trap. in the game you basically go around the city dicovering disturbances that have manifested and are releasing ghosts into new york. it'll take you to places from the movies such as the library and the hotel where they find slimer. in the game you try to collect sketches as well as take pictures to add to toben's spirit guide. which has no real purpose. as well as create as much damage to the places as you want as theres no really purpose to the amount of money the city has to pay.
the only real gripes i have about this game are first the graphics, it should have better graphic and two you cant play as any of the ghostbusters, you only can play as the male or female apprentice. but in all the versions you are the male apprentice except this version you can play as a female for those female ghostbuster fans, in which i played as the female, shes kind of cute.

There's a lot of fun in this game, the voice acting and story fit great within the films established history, and the gameplay feels right. The included extras in this slimer edition are of better quality than I expected from previous experience and I can honestly recommend this as a solid purchase.
