Ghostbusters is a third-person "shooter" where you assume the role of the fifth Ghostbuster, the Rookie. Your task is to aid the team in capturing ghosts, battling monsters, demons, and various abominations in thrilling events. Equipped with sophisticated gadgets and weapons capable of slowing down, causing massive damage, and capturing ghosts, you'll progress through the game trapping these entities.
As you advance, the game gradually unfolds, allowing you to unlock and upgrade your weapons for optimal effectiveness against enemies. The exploration is straightforward and linear, without sprawling into a vast open world. This simplicity works well in delivering an intense and captivating storyline.

Unexpectedly more fun than I expected. Easier to complete, and enjoy from beginning to end.



The graphics aren't the best, even with the remaster, but they stay true to the movie and recreate the original characters well. The cinematics are well animated, portraying a somewhat realistic yet cartoonish look effectively.

Authentic to the original soundtracks and voice actors, there were no issues whatsoever. It was nice to see that the dialogues were well-preserved from the original. I did notice some sound effects and sounds being of slightly lower quality than others, but overall, it was a decent effort.



If you've never watched the original movie, "The Ghostbusters," it's important to note that this game serves as a continuation, making references to characters, ghosts, and events that could potentially spoil the movie experience if you haven't seen it. I highly recommend starting with the movie to fully immerse yourself and appreciate the story.

The writing remains faithful to the movie, exhibiting wit, nerdiness, and a bit of confusion, yet it possesses a certain charm. Despite their janitor-like appearance, these characters showcase remarkable courage and deliver some unexpectedly epic moments.

Not a long game, but it packs an intense and epic story within its duration. It's enjoyable from start to finish, and if you're a fan of the franchise, you'll wish it didn't end. Each battle feels like a climactic moment, which is amazing. In terms of difficulty, the game leans towards being easy. Even on the hardest difficulty, while you might face occasional deaths, it's still achievable.


Ghostbusters is an unexpectedly fun experience that remains faithful to the franchise's roots, sparking a newfound curiosity in me to actually watch the show. It's witty, fun, occasionally comedic, goofy, and incredibly nerdy for those who enjoy the Ghostbusters crew geeking out over equipment and in-game events. It's a MUST-PLAY for those who love an entertaining and unconventional story that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Moreover, it's a must for those who hold the franchise dear to their hearts.
