Pretty good scores, but not surprise the PC version got a lower score.>_> No review on the Wii version yet.

Should be an 8.0.

Hey how is the Wii version? I might get it tomorrow if it good.

That's a high score for a license game, I'm picking up the 360 version, forget those other versions.

It's very good. While the graphics aren't very good per se, the stylized art looks great. Also, using the Wiimote to capture ghosts is a blast. I've only played an hour of the Wii version, but it's just as satisfying as the 360 version, but just in a different kinda way. 360 is about the cinematic graphics, while Wii is more about control and style.

Pc version should be a 4, no reason for that kind of port. SAGE_OF_FIRE

Much better than I expected to be honest. I only wish I could rent games in the timewarp backwater that is my town, because I'm definitely not buying it after hearing about those 30 second load times when you die.

Good to hear.:) Well I probably pick it up tomorrow then. I wasn't planning to get this game before, but I love Ghostbusters, so what the heck lol. Would have been interested in getting the PC version, but with its... well you know what I am talking about.

do you know what the average review score is for it? :?

Aside from being one of my favorite films, I think I have a man-crush on Bill Murray so I'll be picking it up regardless...

to set a trap? :?

wii remote is the gun, nunchuck is the trap. aim and shoot with wimote, throw the nunchuck for the trap. perfect

this game just went from a buy to a rent thanks once again to incompetent third party developers on the wii. jokers cant even get a game this perfect right

[QUOTE="Kevin-V"] You press Z on the Nunchuk. hy4k

In the PS3/360 version of the game, you could slam at will to daze the ghost and get them in the trap, but on the Wii, it's more of a Simon Says mini-game. You'll have the guy tied up, and an arrow will pop up. You fling your Wii-mote in the direction of the arrow, and the ghost follows suit on the screen. Do this enough times, and the purple health bar will be empty so that you can send the ghoul into the waiting trap (deployed by holding Z and making a bowling motion with the nunchuk).

It sounds like you do a throwing motion while holding Z.

I laughed a litlle. Something that simple turned a buy to a rent? Even more so, shouldn't the devs be thinking about convience and being comfortable over a mechanic that "you" think makes sense? (since most of us know constantly throwing the nunchuk can get annoying)

i see too many people bashing gamespot's reviews without realizing that the score isn't very far from the average at all.

In ghostbusters you hold Z and make a bowling motion to set traps. Calm down. :P

LOL--I didn't realize my quick comment would cause such an odd furor. It was quickly typed as I was headed out the door. Yes, you press z and motion with the nunchuk, though there is so little motion needed you might as well just press Z anyway.

I will give you a quick pre-review, however: I really like Ghostbusters on the Wii.

Put on your tinfoil hats.

Oh and Kevin, my above comment expressing disdain over reviews wasn't a stab at yours, I generally like your reviews. I'm just referring to GS reviews in general.

I really don't see what the problem is with them. I have had a few gripes with some of them, but it is the same for all magazines/websites. At least GameSpot hasn't hasn't completely missed the point of a game before (IGN) or given out inaccurate information (Game Informer).

KevinV what type of PC did you test the game on? It seems that the system requirements for the game were ridiculous so I'm going with the 360 version unless that's somehow a type or someting of that sort. Can you clarify if it requires an insanely good rig to run? I didn't see it mentioned anywhere in the summary of your review so I am going to assume it was not a problem.

even if that's what he's referring to, it's still something i see from plenty of other people.

[QUOTE="raynimrod"]

I think he or she is just referring to the quality of the review. In which case I 100% agree. The reviews are sloppy and boring now.
