Ghostbusters Video Game – Threewave Responds To No PC Multiplayer
Hey, am I the only one who thinks this was kind of a cluster fu%&?
Let’s list some major issues.
PS3 ((The one I own))
1. If you play multiplayer, and go back to playing single player, yoru single player account doesn’t show up at all, you have to either mess around in the options screen for the game to remember you played it, or restarts the game.
2. The game freezes and if it doesn’t’ totally freeze ((Happened to me twice in game, and ounce in a loading menu.)) It gets really laggy, now online I could understand this, but NOT ON HOME CONSOLES!!!!
3. The graphics aren’t’ as good on PS3 as Xbox 360, even thought it has something like double the processing power?
4. The A.I. in some places is dumb as spit, for example, after a fight, the ghostbusters got stuck trying to run through a wall…. Another time, Ray kept standing in a puddle of black slime, he’d make the “Ouch this hurts” noises, I couldn’t move him, he’d die, then I’d heal him and it woudl start all over.
5. This is more of a complaint, in Multiplayer you unlock different uniform according to rank. The thing is, theirs no way to see the uniform, you can see the back, but then when you move on, to my knowledge that outfit is gone forever….
PS2 ((Dont’ own this one))
1.No multi-player….((I’m sure you’ve stated enough above I don’t’ have to continue))
P.C. ((Again, dont’ own this))
1 All that Spyware Spit…
2. Again no multilayer. ((Again, enough stated here i don’t’ have to go on.))
All system
1. The in game cut scenes, Their relatively good, EXCEPT for the fact T.R. had A YEAR, A WHOLE FREAKING YEAR and they dont’ look better????
Ultimately, I’d still have bought it, the vibration in the PS3 controller as I slam a ghost home into the trap, just the image makes my body shiver in the good way.
We all know we’ll buy the thing, we’d buy it even if Dan lent his voice to it….
But the bottom line is like a favorite movie of mine says, “You can p*$$ on me, just don’t tell me it’s raining.” ((Yeah I know I should have used a GB line, but couldn’t think of one.)) for them to try and push this off, that they’ve spent a YEAR fine tuning it.
They talk about how they do EVERYTHING for the fans, this was a 45% failure to the fans, the game in itself was good, the story the voices, ((Which could have been retouched to sound better)) but it’s like falling form five stories into a pool, it’s perfect until you hit the water, and that doesn’t kill you, it was still fun, but your dislocated shoulders make you reluctant to try again.
But to be fair, we all know well we all knew it would be like this, Ghostbusters is cursed it can never, and will never live up to all our expectations. I just want to know if anyone else is as oddly accepting, I mean I’m not outraged, I’ve played the game twice, and stopped to eat and drink, haven’t slept in 36 hours. And wont’ till it’s 100% beaten.
I’m just wishing they could REALLY do something for the fans, then again, when I make 18 billion dollars, I’m gonna give half to akroyd, and half to various scientists, and then we’ll see who’s laughing Sony. ((Ever seen a company sue a guy with a neutron accelerator on his back, neither have I.))

That’s a pretty good review/rundown of the game, though in spite of the pitfalls you mentioned, it’s still the greatest piece of Ghostbusters fan service ever made. If anything, it’s probably more of a love letter to the fans than anything else. I’d arguably say that it’s the best Ghostbusters game ever made. Of course, that’s not saying much when you consider the other Ghostbusters games that have been made in the past 25 years.
I’ve got the PS2 version and I don’t know if its just me but today I’ve had like 3 freezes on me. Ah but still like its pretty much accepted I’d buy the game knowing this before hand. And really the freezing up hasn’t bothered me that much. Kind of annoying but meh. I’m just in love with the game. The story has been pretty awesome in my own opinion. Plus I actually think the voice work sounds pretty good.
Still sounds like serious false advertisement. Class action lawsuit anybody? Because that’s exactly what they’re asking for.
