Harold's collection of Spores, Molds and Fungus greatly misses him! I hope the 2020 movie pays a damn good tribute to Harold as he was a comedic genius.
For the most part, the game is fun. Wish ps4 had backward compatibility since I still have the ps3 copy, but if you've never played it, I'm sure you will enjoy it, if you enjoyed the original movies made in the 80's.
I absolutely loved this game when it was first released! For years I was saying I wish they'd remaster it, and then they did. Im definitely going to be picking this up, soon!
I read somewhere that multiplayer was being rebuilt from the ground up and coming in a free patch later on. Not sure if there is any credence to this though.
This game was (and still feels) like a Great interactive movie, it's clear that a lot of love and passion went into it and it really showed (still does), in every aspect of it. An open world sandbox game where you receive a call at the firehouse and drive to the location of the call with Ecto-1 is the only way they can go from here.
I'm ok with them using different characters even. I'd ADORE this game. Kinda like a star trek the next generation kinda thing. Obviously, they can't get Ramis, and it wouldn't be worth it to pay Akroid and Murray at this point.
YES THANK YOU!! Finally someone who agrees with me on Ghostbusters 2; A walking Statue of Liberty, it was like them saying “Damn, we forgot to write the ending, what should we do? I have know idea, let’s just make the Statue of Liberty walk and hope they don’t notice it’s a stupid idea.”
It's kind of funny when you mentioned the actor said it was like The Unofficial third movie because apparently in Ghostbusters afterlife they're using contents from this game in the story of the movie I really hope the mention something about like shandor and how the mines are going to be connected to shandor and gozer
@@keskes1338 Damn. No words, just damn. Damn. That was super. Super Effective! Seriously, that was a very good display. I never actually played the original game, only the demo over and over again. It was pretty fun. I only hope I get enough money to actually buy the remaster. I only hope that people who liked the original movies play this game, as it is Ghostbusters 3. Unlike the travesty of the other modern Ghostbusters games.
The game is on sale and I was looking for reviews because I wanted to relive my childhood with this game. Since it was so long ago I don’t remember the plot too much at all and I cannot wait to play this again because I remember having so much fun with ut
I loved that original game. It really was a true sequel and I always considered it one. Also I can remember those darn books well enough even now to know what you were talking about... Now, I will probably pick it up at some point. Not right away though.
The Vigo painting wasn't destroyed but it was altered. The explanation I read was that an upsurge in PK energy let Vigo take his painting back but it wasn't enough for him to do the crap he did before. My favorite is when he complains about you burning microwave popcorn.
When this came out in 2009 it was made canon by Ivan (R.I.P) and Dan but as of last year for afterlife it was made non canon and put in an alternate timeline.
Mad Max on PS4 was also a shockingly good game based loosely on the Fury Road mythology. In point-of-fact, I'd probably say it's one of the best licensed titles that hardly anybody played. Followed very closely by the little-known Bourne Conspiracy and 007: Blood Stone.
I played PS3 version recently and just got this PS4 Remaster. Don’t notice much upgrade in graphics (already very fine), but the cast delivers some funny dialogue and the story is very good too! Turn off HUD settings for a little more immersion!
Called it a remake once sorry. Anyway good game but the price mixed with the missing multiplayer(supposedly coming later) makes this a difficult game to ask that price especially with the 360 being BC and the normal PC on amazon version.

ACG Thanks for reviewing the game! I love the movies but never got around to playing the original version. With that said would you still advise waiting for a sale if I have never played the game before?
I can be a GHOSTBUSTER!!?? i had no clue this game even existed! Man this is gonna bring me back to my childhood in the 80's. Man, is Groundhog day a game too!!? How about Goonies, ET and Back to the Future!? Omg I just had a flashback, Back to the Future was a game on Nintendo I think around the Contra era and I used to play it all the time! Am I wrong!? What are these memories im having!!??
For Ghostbusters fans it's a fantastic addition, How many games can say they have all original cast involved ???? I freaking love this game and it hits all the right tones for Nostalgia and new threats to NYC. 5 Stars !
One thing to note is that if someone didn't want to buy or play the game there are people who have edited and uploaded videos of the game to youtube that only cover the story elements, both in cut scenes and gameplay. They are roughly 3 hours long and it really feels like the third Ghostbusters movie. I watch it from time to time when I don't want to replay the entire game. I'm glad the remastered version is good though, I'll have to pick it up!
Overall - a great game with a fun story. Especially since it has the Voice Actors from the movie along with an original Ghostbusters script from Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis!
A real shame that they haven't added the multiplayer from the console original version. was one of my favorite multiplayer games to coop your way though building up your level and unlocking your way though all the different suits to get the epic black version :(
there is a new MP mode to be added later as a free update. I also had a few issues with dialogue audio completely dropping out, like the scene when you first rescue alessa, all the dialogue between her and peter is gone, though I seem to remember the same thing happening at that same spot on the original PC version last time I played it.
6:18 - I'm liking and subscribing mainly because of this; I agree 100% that the 2016 movie needs to get sucked into a trap and put into the Containment Unit forever more
I have the original PC version on Steam and see no reason to upgrade. Maybe some of the effects & textures look slightly better, but I can get the original version running at 1440p120 or 4K60 no problem.
Will probably get this but had hoped that they would put a create-a-character in for the rookie as to say that you were the one joining the ghost busters.
@@neens00 I’ve played for about 3 hours and it’s worth $8. The dialogue is good and the story seems to be building to something pretty enjoyable. The gameplay is fun but it’s actually pretty challenging on normal difficulty. I like it so far.
My only, only, ONLY complaint regarding this game... is that the Swich version isn't a remastered version of the Wii counterpart. IMO, gameplay wise, despite it also being a bit shorter, I do like it a bit more. But, all things considered, it is NICE for Nintendo peeps to be able to play the PS360 version now. Also, I can confidently say that if you like Ghostbusters in any capacity, you WILL enjoy this game. It's just got everything you could possibly want. ...I do have one minor gripe, is that by the last few levels, it turns into more of a shooter than Ghost Wrangling. But, honestly, that's a minor detail.
It's disappointing that there wasn't an option to play as a female rookie for this let along a basic character creator for the player character instead of having to play as 'Super Bland Generic Male Lead Clone 5000' only, a little personal touch in that regard would be nice even with basic options. I'll probably wait until it's on offer and any glitches patched before considering it.
Punisher on ps2 was amazing and let no one tell you otherwise
I loved that game. Wish that would get a remake.
I wish that the ps2 Daredevil game didn’t get canned
is that the one with the Torture parts? I need to get that... oh, wait I don't own a PS3 with PS2 Backwards compatibility.
@@sykode you can get it on PC! It even has a perfect wide-screen mod!
Have it on the original xbox, I image it's the same.

Harold's collection of Spores, Molds and Fungus greatly misses him! I hope the 2020 movie pays a damn good tribute to Harold as he was a comedic genius.
im hoping he's a ghost in the new movie, just repeating the scene in front of the college from the first movie
The developers said they ran out of time to put in the multi-player. But it will be available as a free update down the road
That's a good thing. This game is not a good multiplayer game
@@NightmareJames the multiplayer in the original was great
NightmareJames You never played the original multiplayer so how would you know. Btw, the MP was great.
It was discontinued already when I got the game. Had enough issues with the save not reading, so I'm glad the MP was not there. :)
@@NightmareJames hm?? That's an unpopular opinion
I really enjoyed this game back on PS3
I never played it on ps3 but I played it on the wii
@@topnotchcupoftea yikes
@@topnotchcupoftea I think the PS2 and Wii versions were completely different games even beyond the style of the graphics.
I love this game on the Xbox 360.
Except the parts when it freezes and when the found hidden artefacts and scanned ghosts are not ticked off the next time you play.
"If you haven't seen the movies" should have been immediately followed up with "what the hell is wrong with you? GO SEE THEM NOW!"

Same here. Growing up loving Ghostbusters I can't believe I missed out on this. I'm so glad it came back.

It's the 3rd movie without queef jokes I'll buy It again!
I'd buy Ghostbusters 2009/3 more then TES 5: Skyrim. And I dont even know how many copies I've bought of Skyrim.
Sad, I never played this for the PS3. Is it true that this is basically Ghostbusters 3?
Yes it is. It was going to be Ghostbusters III until Sony stepped in. Aykroyd and Ramis also consider it to be.
Yup. I played it on the x360 and just picked up for the ps4...GB nostalgia gets me to cough up the bucks...
Definitely it is
Indeed it is.
Better story than 2. Or should I say a more eventful story than 2.
The story of the Grey Lady was really well done. I enjoyed this game.
I read somewhere that multiplayer was being rebuilt from the ground up and coming in a free patch later on. Not sure if there is any credence to this though.
That’s what’s happening
I certainly hope so. I really want to play MP or at least a horde mode like feature
Why would this game need multiplayer?
Tony Heckenlively Because busting makes me feel good. Because you can get your busting fix without redoing the whole game over and over.
Tony Heckenlively Also, it’s just generally fun. At least I remember the last gen multiplayer being fun.

We are. Ghostbusters: Afterlife.
