Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered Reviews
The remaster of Ghostbusters: The Video Game has a specific audience. That audience, because of my love of the franchise, includes me. However, I don't consider this game to be a "must play." The remaster helped improve the graphic quality, but it still feels like an average game from yesteryear. If you love Ghostbusters, then you will love the story and voice cast, for obvious reasons.
Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered advocates certain innocence that is lost in the today’s gaming climate. Too often games are about killing, killing and some more killing, told in gloomy, cheerless tones.
While it hasn't aged gracefully, Ghostbusters; The Video Game Remastered is still a fun time. Crappy AI aside, the combat, puzzles and collectables make it worth playing.
Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered is an experience from another era whose design has not aged well, whose visuals are years behind, and which only presents a good experience to diehard fans of the franchise.
The brunt of the work here has gone into raising the game's resolution and frame rate, and implementing higher quality assets all around.
Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered is a double-edged sword. It does a lot of things right with the story and atmosphere, but the gameplay is mediocre to good, with many flaws around the companion AI, which often ruins the experience. Since the fun multiplayer component of the original release isn't included yet, this game is only for serious fans of the movie or the original game.
It’s tough to recommend a ‘remaster’ of a game that’s only half remastered.
For a budget priced remaster, it’s still a fun time, especially if you’re a fan of the Ghostbusters.
Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered gets some visual improvements, but not much else. Strong nostalgia hooks will delight fans, but won't bring in any new audience.
Ghostbusters was a great tie-in back in 2009 but this remaster doesn't really make for a vastly improved experience.
Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered feels like the ultimate fan tribute to the series. It's a lot of fun, but those who aren't fans may not appreciate the attention to detail.
Once again we dip into the ghoul-infested, nostalgic world of Ghostbusters: The Video Game but is it worth your time or should you just close your wallet right now?
Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered is absolutely worth the play, even though there systems and mechanics in it that are dated, and the remastered updates on PC aren’t as significant as I would have thought. For the moment, this is the closest we’re going to get to Ghostbusters III, and it’s just really fun experience. There’s some genuinely spooky moments sprinkled throughout that make the comedy the perfect mix the films were. Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered is a rare kind of game that should be played, owned, and experienced despite its flaws.
Back in 2009, Ghostbusters: The Video Game was a solid shooter elevated by the involvement of the original Ghostbusting team, but a decade later it's a little tired. If you have any fondness for the franchise then it provides a wonderful hit of nostalgia, and it's still a genuine pleasure to see the whole Ghostbusting team back together, but those looking for great gameplay should probably look elsewhere.
GREAT - Ghostbusters: The Videogame Remastered is a game both fans and newcomers will love. It feels like the true sequel to the movies we never got and features the main cast from the movies to make it feel authentic. Detailed and destructible environments make it a joy to play over and over again. A lack of multiplayer and a relatively short campaign are the only knocks against it, but that shouldn’t stop you from bustin’ a few ghosts.
The long-awaited remaster of Ghostbusters: The Video Game continues to prove that licensed games can be absolutely fantastic, even with some aged visuals and difficulty. From the hilarious writing and performances to the viscerally true-to-form ghost-busting gameplay, Ghostbusters Remastered is a brilliant and genuinely great love-letter to franchise fans and gamers alike.
Despite lingering technical hiccups and some underwhelming storytelling decisions, Ghostbusters: The Video Game is worth checking out for any fan of the franchise.
Ghostbusters The Video Game Remastered, unfortunately still have the same problems of the original game. Cumbersome movement animastions are not fun. This game still is the most authentic Ghostbusters experience.
