    This is one of those rare occurrences where the game is actually better than the movie, yet 2000's Marvel seemed to pull it off so often. Actually going to mythical locations, facing off against classic Ghost rider villains like Vengeance and Blackout, coming across Blade ( eventually actually being able to play as him), and comic accurate designs!! you can always tell they cared about the character when playing these games.

    I noticed how a bunch of reviewers started to review this obscure PS2 Ghost Rider game for some reason. I'd oughta try it.
    I wish this game could be what the developers envisioned it to be. Bike combat like DMC 5, Wolverine cameo, and a more in depth fighting system. Nonetheless, the game looks like fun, and I'll play it on a emulator sometime.

    Blade being unlockable gives me serious nostalgia vibe for the Raimi Spiderman tie in for the first movie. Beating hardest difficulty unlocked Harry Osborne as the Green Goblin, complete with voiceover and new special abilities and all. None of the cutscenes worked and all, but it's great that they did that, even so much as recontextualizing the story a little bit for Harry.

    My favorite thing about this game’s combat is a bit of tech you can do where you can cancel most of your animations into a block and use that as a means of extending more elaborate combos you might come up with because after that block cancel you can transition into anything else you want whether it be the specific grab attacks or say, you want to transition from your standard light attacks to your standard heavy attacks.
    I love these sorts of action games a lot so these kinds of options do a lot for me.

    I remember getting the GBA version of Ghost Rider for Christmas back in 2007. In a way I felt kind of special because I was 7 and it was my first T-rated game. It's kind of a nostalgic game for me. I also remember replaying those motorcycle missions so many times.

    I would love a new Ghost Rider game, especially since Ghost Riders chain combat would fit so well with an Arkham/God Of War 4 style system. I can imagine all the different cosmetics and things that could come with it, such as the Reyes Ghost Rider with the muscle car or the original appearance white phantom looking Ghost Rider who rode a horse. The vehicle mobility could be absolutely insane. Imagine absolutely gunning down the street before jumping the bike into the air off a car. In mid air, you go into an aiming mode, and point at a group of thugs on a roof, which uses your chain as a grappling hook, launching you towards them and banishing the bike . You beat their ass, using the penance stare on the last one, before you walk off the side of the building, landing on the bike which is parked vertically on the wall, and boosting down the wall and off to fight more goons and demons.

    Super underrated game imo. Old school PS2 graphics really capture the right dark atmosphere for Ghost Rider. Still remember that awesome soundtrack from the first stage and "There ain't no turning back" quote every time you tried to go back.

    The thing about Garth Ennis is that he’s an edgelord. He doesn’t really know how to or even care to write nuance or depth. I doubt “tone it down” is part of his vocabulary. He hates superheroes and religion so all that stuff he did doesn’t really surprise me in the slightest.

    Man are you gonna be happy as SHIT when you play Shattered Dimensions. I know people think Spiderman PS4 is the best Spiderman game out there, but at least before that, Shattered Dimensions takes the cake. Use of source material, aesthetics, gameplay, uniqueness, audio/visual quality, and the story are all top notch

    Nic Cage is actually a bit of comics nerd. His actual name Nicolas Kim Coppola, and he's the paternal nephew of Francis Ford Coppola. He came up with calling himself Cage after both the composer John Cage and Luke Cage, and he did this avoid the appearance of (literal) nepotism.
