5.0 out of 5 stars Ghostbusters Collectors Edition -- Excellent for the Right Price, September 10, 2009
By Phlosar (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I ordered the special/collectors edition of Ghostbusters a few weeks ago when it was a daily video game deal. The Slimer statue is very impressive and was designed by the person who designed Slimer for the movies (Google Amazon Slimer for details). Thus this statue is not just cheap plastic junk. The details on it are very well done -- teeth, fingernails, bumps. The designer shows you what he intended Slimer to look like. It is about 10 inches high. The car is cute and the puffy stickers okay. Basically, try to determine what you would spend for the statue and add that to the basic game price. I separately ordered the Stay-Puft bank -- that would have been a nice addition to this set.

Compare this to the Batman CE, which has a cheap plastic batarang. All CE are not the same; I think Ghostbusters has one of the better ones.

4.0 out of 5 stars Slimer Edition Review, September 25, 2009
By D. Brust (Minnesota USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is a review of the Amazon.com exclusive Slimer Edition, not the game itself.

First of all, I was a little disappointed with the packaging. There is no special packaging to speak of. Instead, everything arrives in a plain, unmarked box. You would never know what was in it, if it weren't for the shipping label on the side. It looks like this is the exact box in which the set was shipped from the manufacturer to Amazon. Inside, there is an unmarked white box with the Slimer statue in it, the keychain, the puffy sticker sheet, and the game. It is just a normal copy of the game, sealed, with no special packaging. Check out the customer images, as I'll be putting up pics of the set (UPDATE: for some reason my pics won't show up, so you won't be able to find them unless Amazon gets the problem resolved). I see that Amazon is now offering a digital download of the Amazon.com Exclusive Slimer Edition Box Art. I didn't originally get this, but I e-mailed Amazon and they gave me a link to download it. It is just a PDF of special Amazon.com cover art, which you can print and slip into your game case, to make the game seem like a "special" edition. Now, on to the items.

Exclusive Ghostbusters Gamer Graffix Skins: Well, I'm not sure what makes these "skins". They are just a set of "puffy" stickers. You know, those stickers that are slightly raised and feel "puffy." When viewing Amazon's pictures, the picture that shows the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man, Slimer, and the logo on a black background, is the sticker set. Each one of the images is a separate sticker.

Ecto1 Key Chain: This is sort of neat, but as stated by other reviewers, it DOES NOT light up. It just makes a noise. I was hoping it would play the theme song, or something, but instead it just makes the car's siren noise. So, the car itself is nice looking, but the noise is nothing special.

Slimer Bust: This makes the set, I'd say. The statue doesn't look all that great in the pictures, but it's actually nice in person. It is a pretty good size, with a nice, heavy base. All that holds the Slimer statue in place is a short pin, so the base needs to be pretty heavy to make sure it doesn't tip over. The statue is nicely detailed and would make for a good display item. According to the Certificate of Authenticity, only 6500 of these were made, though neither the statue nor the certificate are numbered. The statue includes a brochure for the makers of the statue, with a link to their website (search for their company, Solid Thought Corporation). You can check out their site and see whatever else they might be working on. It looks like they even designed a special box for the Slimer statue (you can find images of it in their blog), but for some reason it wasn't used. Too bad, since it looks nice.

I would say that the set is not worth the full $90. While the extras are nice, they're not THAT nice. If you can get it a bit cheaper, though, it's definitely worth it. I got it for $50 on sale. The extras are definitely better than those you get with other games (the Slimer statue is pretty cool), but they're also asking for a premium price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Slimer Sculpture is Nice, June 19, 2009
By Ben Buck (Jackson, MS) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
So overall the game is good. I'm about 4 hours into it and have enjoyed the levels. There is some great variety and the actual ghost trapping mechanics are fun. Fans of the movies and Tv series will be right at home.

The Slimer Edition Extras are nice. The Ecto 1 keychain has a replaceable battery and the car makes the Ecto1 siren sound when you press a button on top. There are no lights on the car, contrary to Amazon's description. The stickers are from gamergraffix, but instead of being a console wrap like they sell on their website, the Slimer edition has 4 removable stickers that you can stick on things. I haven't found a good use for them yet, but they might go good on something like a 3 ring binder.

The big win is the Slimer sculpture. This thing is really nice. Slimer is separate from the stand and he has a peg in his hand that connects him to the logo. He does not glow in the dark but he does look nice under a blacklight.
