5.0 out of 5 stars It's Awsome that you catch alot of Ghosts, June 25, 2009

By	educated consumer (Floral Park, NY United States) - See all my reviews

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

I like this game! I just beat a giant marshmallow man and I already caught 194 ghosts. Although you might think its easy it's alot of fun catching a whole army of these things. There are also some cool enemies like giant scorpion snakes that come out of the ground. The game is easy and fun to play. I never got upset with it and never wanted to throw my nintendo against a wall. I've been playing it for about 2 days. You get to control all the ghostbusters and drive the ecto 1. If you get annoyed with the music theme song you can press select and that stops the music. I'm 11 years old and I recommend this game to other kids.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ghostbusters, June 17, 2009

Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 

It's finally here, Ghostbusters The Video Game! I've waited over a year for this game and I could have waited anther year. The game is fun when you get use to the controls but it could have had some improvements. The pros and cons of this game have the cons winning, here are some flaws

First off, it's a DS system. There are no speaking parts like bigger systems have but some music from the original film can be heard sprinkled thru the game. Also, the actual Ghostbusters song can be heard when driving. The map is on top of the screen, rather then action on top and map on the bottom. I havent played it alot but i'm pretty sure you cannot switch them around. The driving of Ecto 1 is horrible and you can see some glitches when getting to a mission. Anther thing is they time you to a mission and the map is not well made, so it'll take a few times before you get where your going. Shooting a trap is easy but its getting the ghost to go in thats the tricky part. The last thing i'll say is the characters look somewhat like the Hollywood actors but Slimer looks nothing like the real deal. I've got to the mission of Stay Puft but have yet to see how he looks. The game on DS seems to take alot from the Sega system.

The pros of the game is the ghost do look cool. I hate using the stylus but shooting the proton packs is alot of fun. Other then that, i've got to play a little more. Right now, the game is fun but far from the best game i've played on DS.

Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 

The long awaited Ghostbusters video game proved well worth the wait on consoles, and naturally, it has found a place on the DS as well. Like its console counterparts, Ghostbusters on the DS features a dynamite script and plenty of other fan service to boot. Gameplay wise, things could be better. Segments of the game involve switching between the four various Ghostbusters, and there are driving moments as well. Sadly though, driving the Ecto 1 ends up being more of a pain than anything else thanks to the fact that things just get too sluggish here. Not to mention the variety of bugs and glitches don't really help matters either. Still, Ghostbusters on the DS looks good for a DS game, and the small offering of RPG elements here and there only add to the overall gameplay. All in all, if you own a DS and are a Ghostbusters fan, this game is worth checking out, but in the end, you're better off with the console versions of the game.
