Bustin' will make you feel good, now that Ghostbusters has arrived on PC and consoles. The game pays homage to the original movies without being tied to a new film. According to critics, the original style and brand of humor are well-represented here, and the cast delivers a solid performance. However, while the action can be fun, it can occasionally get frustrating and poorly paced. Also, multiplayer is curiously absent from the PC version, but it started at a lower price. It ended up with an 81% GameRankings average on 360, with slightly lower scores for PC and PS3. So what did you think of it?

I feel that its a good game. It has those nagging issues that kept it from being great, but I think it did a near perfect job of feeling like Ghostbusters 3, and that carries a lot of weight in my vote.

Loved the multiplayer and I thought it was a great addition to the series. Would highly recommend.

[Zanch Effect]

The game was extremely overrated. Poor AI, poor pacing, repetitive action, a dated checkpoint system with horribly spaced checkpoints. All it had going for it was graphics and nostalgia. The more I played it, the less I wanted to.

Loved this game! Reminded me how much I loved and missed the series. We need more ghostbusters! Lets hope they make atleast 2 more!

Would have said Great, but was WAY too short. And the multiplayer isn't enough to make up for it.

I wish I could vote on this one, but I wanted it for the PC, and I felt royally fucked/snubbed by the lack of multiplayer so I didn't buy it. There just isn't any reason that holds a drop of water for not including it for the PC.

I only played the Wii version because it was the only one with local multiplayer so I could play with my son.

That being said, I enjoyed it a lot and it was the first Wii game I could say that about in a very long time....and it's a third party game!

I have it for the 360 and I love it. I still play it all the time. The single player is great and the multiplayer might be even better. Highly recommend it best game based on a movie by a ton.

I really liked it.

It felt true to the movies, I really felt like I was out there busting Ghosts with the guys from the movies. They had a lot of extra detail in there, like the written back stories on the ghosts and artifacts, things which I thought were excellent inclusions. A good amount of levels, varied environments, interesting gameplay and great writing to boot. The multiplayer is actually a lot of fun and a great inclusion to the package.

The only single thing is that I'm not sure how much a non-Ghostbusters fan would get out of this game, but I suppose that is, to some degree, true of any licensed game of this kind.
