With the new Ghostbusters film now playing in cinemas, the time is ripe for a new Ghostbusters game. We still remember fondly the 2009 game which had the original cast reprise their roles, in what turned out to be the nearest we got to a Ghostbusters 3 film with the original team.

Movie tie-in games have a bad reputation and with good reason. Most games based on licensed movies come off as cheap, and a lazy cash grab. This is not to say that ALL movie tie-in games are horrible, but this seems to be a problem that has been around for years.

Classic Ghostbuster theme song; Very easy gameplay; Some creative ghosts

Genetic shooting mechanics; Lack of interesting characters; Repetitive gameplay

Great co-op! Fast into the action. No heavy story that you're forced to listen to, as you already know the movie plot line. Not the movie characters, not a problem. Fun game. The ghosts are not super cheesy, but rather semi creepy looking.

Its okay, not the greatest game but not a bad play! Who Ya Gonna Call

As I slowly enter the dimly-lit room on the abandoned ship, my P.K.E. meter begins picking up paranormal presences. My ragtag team of rookie Ghostbusters readies their weapons as flaming skulls circle around them and the spirit of the dead captain emerges.

Ghostbusters gets its own separate story level for Lego Dimensions, but is it worth paying for the toys needed to play it

Paul Feig, director of the divisive new Ghostbusters film, has admitted that the maelstrom of negativity that preceded its launch may well have done it a favour in the long run, drawing attention it might not otherwise have received.

While I have to admit that I didn't know exactly what to expect when Activision provided us with a copy of Ghostbusters for review, I was at least expecting to find the quartet of heroines from the latest Ghostbusters movie.

Ghostbusters as a couch co-op game is a dream on paper. Unfortunately, the execution from FireForge Games is so lackluster and devoid of quality that publisher Activision should be ashamed in having released it.

Proton pack sound ripped straight from the original movies; Love the art style

Literally everything else

Nostalgia is an interesting feeling, and the surprise announcement of Ghostbusters: The Game Remastered just a few weeks ago played right into that. There are few old gaming franchises that have left fans wanting more, especially after the mediocre remake a few years ago.
