The final boss battle wasn't as tough as that section.

Finished the game in six days. I've finished very few games that quickly.

I suspect I'm overlooking something obvious, but I need some help on the part where you are supposed to drain the black slime. I was able to lower the counter weights on the gate but I can't seem to get the gate itself to do anything. Any hints/clues/suggestions are welcome...

TIA

EDIT: never mind... finally figured it out... could have sworn I did that action before but whatever

If it's the same problem I had: when I lowered the weights initially, it didn't lower them all the way. There was maybe an inch (of screen size) between the weights and the thingy on the floor. I had to keep tethering until both were completely down all the way.

Big fan of the Ghostbusters movies. I played through the demo and I liked what I saw. Most people say you can finish this fairly quickly (8-10 hours). Think this is better as a rental? How does MP stack up? Any replay there?

Thanks

I'm also a big fan of the movies so I bought the game, and I would've regardless of the reviews. Thankfully, it's actually a fun game. I'd say buy it if you're a fan of MP, otherwise probably rent it. I don't have a X-Box Live Gold Subscription at the moment but I'm still glad to own the game.

The single player campaign though doesn't have too much replay value.

Yeah the final boss was way too easy. I had virtually no trouble with him once I figured out how to take out the shield. The Stone Angels was my one trouble spot but it was smooth sailing the other 98% of the game. Took me about a week myself.

Now I'm going through it again on Professional.

Stone Angels on Professional can result in broken LCD monitors.

If you had trouble on Casual/Experienced, you're going to hate it even more on Pro.

Good luck!

Been playing through this on the Xbox. Pretty fun. Sometimes it's infuriating because the control is somewhat loose, but it's a cool game. Hope they do some sequels. Awesome to hear the whole cast back together.

I liked it, just too frustrating. Was glad to finish it and get rid of it

So the 'angry videogame nerd' posted a review of Ghostbusters. Except he's not in character and playing himself doing a serious review:

I am loving this game. I finally been able to play it since I been away doing a internship and this game is alot of fun. It really feels like Ghostbusters 3, The story is alot of fun and better then what I thought. The writing is very good and is really funny. I havent yet played multiplayer yet. Looking forward too it.

Is this worth $23 used?

I'm thinking of snagging a copy from Gamestop. Is the multiplayer community still active? Is the single player really a 8 hour experience?

I guess at worst, I can buy it, play through it and then return it within a week.

Yes.
Don't Know.
Yes.

8-10 hours sounds about right. If you are an achievement whore though it will take at least two-three play-throughs to get them all. There are two counter achievements which make 1 playthrough impossible, then there is also one for finishing the game on Professional, which probably isn't wise your first time through.

Some of the multiplayer achievements are glitched and still unpatched.

I paid full retail for it and will be keeping it. I've already beaten it once, but I know after a few months I'll want to play it again. Parts of it are just too much fun.

Can be had for $19.99 new
at Best Buy with a Reward Zone Gamers Club coupon good through the rest of the month.

It was fun the first time through but got frustrating. I wouldn't buy it again if it was $5.

Yeah I had fun even with some of the weird controls and outright pain in the ass enemies. But I'm not sure I'd play though it again anytime soon. As a matter of fact I almost traded it recently.

Anyone still play Multiplayer? That was pretty fun with the right players.

I never got a chance to try multiplayer. The controls were pretty wonky.

Just picked it up for $20 at Best Buy with the Reward Zone coupon.

Finally picked this up (for the PS3), now that I was able to find a new copy for $10. Looking forward to playing it, but I remember something in a review when this was released that mentioned that the graphics in the PS3 version were inferior to the 360 version. I also remember something about a patch that would rectify these graphical inadequacies. Can anyone tell me if that patch was already released for the PS3 version?

It was. Though if it wasn't, would it matter? Would you not play it then?

Thanks, I just realized the same thing after a quick search. Apparently still doesn't measure up to the 360 version, graphics-wise, but to answer your question: For $10, I would play it either way!

Too much has been made of the graphical differences between the two versions. Sure, there's a difference but if you don't see the 360 version side-by-side with the PS3, you'd never have thought to care.
