All reports indicate they aren't the same game anyway.
I haven't been following anything about the game for the most part. So I wasn't sure if the Wii was just a port or if it was a slightly different game (more than just control scheme).

The character designs for the Wii are totally different. It's supposed to have an 'Incredibles' look to it.

They should have found a better compromise between the cartoony look and real life, or just designed it to look like the cartoon and brought the original cartoon voices back. I'm sure if they had done that, people would have complained to no end, but I find it weird to think that the Wii/PS2 versions are also meant to be a sequel to the movies when they look so goofy.

I could see eventually buying both versions, but the Wii version would have to be pretty damn good.

I'm not buying it for the "experience" alone.

Even though I got a 360 and will be buying that version, I can imagine using the proton packs with the Wii controller. Sounds pretty fun actually. BTW, the screenshots and gameplay from the 360/PS3 versions looks awesome! Mine on release day!

Offical Ghostbusters game site...

http://ghostbustersgame.com/us/index.html

It has a clip I haven't seen yet minus "all action scenes" like the other trailer and more all-around. Now I noticed something in this one that I had to re-run a few times and freeze but it's showing "Five" characters in one scene. About 2/3 the way when Bill says, "well that means more overtime" and then you see all of them being knocked backwards there are "Five" figures. Just how and who is number "Five"?

Other than that the game is really looking nice and one can see coop on this a real blast. Will be following this one very closely.

For everybody who likes spending money on collectors editions, Amazon has you covered! Taken from joystiq.com

We know, we know -- there are those of us who are into Ghostbusters and then there are those of us who are really into Ghostbusters. For the majority of us, dropping a paltry $60 on the Atari-publlished ghost-bustin' game is more than enough. But don't worry, folks, if you were looking to spent $130 bucks for the title, Amazon's got you covered!

In the vein of the "Amazon Exclusive" Fallout 3's Survival Edition comes the ... "Amazon Exclusive" Ghostbusters: The Video Game "Slimer Edition." Fancy box? Check. Ecto-1 keychain? Check check. Slimer ... thing? You bet! We've compiled a gallery for your approval below. It seems like just yesterday we were thinking twice about that legendary cat helmet!



And I thought the $100 Batman collectors edition was expensive. The crap you get here doesn't even look to be worth $130

I did have a "Stay-Puff Marsh-mallow Man" once. And somewhere in my stack of things a offical "GB T-shirt".

YOU are number five. There are the four Ghostbusters, and the player.

Re: "Ghostbusters" game??? (or GoW mod?) [video]

Well stupid me didn't think of that. I'm so use to seeing just "Four". Now the question of coop and how they plan on using it be it with players only, four or five and if "Bots" will fill in like in L4D?

Re: "Ghostbusters" game??? (or GoW mod?) [video]

Well I did find part of a interview with mebers of the team associated with the game and in it they talk about the different "co-op modes". I'm trying to find out about online, off-line, LAN, MP, etc...From what they're saying it seems to offer a good bit on replay value.

From "Co-Optimus Interview -04/06/09

Co-Optimus: Can you describe the co-op modes in detail? Is there any persistence between sessions?

Brendan Goss: Ghostbusters multiplayer has an Instant Action and a Campaign mode. Each mode allows you to play various “Jobs” or game types at locations around the city, playing as the Ghostbusters team. Instant Action is a single Job; Campaign is a linked series of Jobs.

The six Job types include” Containment- where the goal is to find and capture/destroy all ghosts in the area, Survival, where the team needs to work together to stay alive, Protection, where players protect some of Egon’s devices from a paranormal onslaught, Destruction, where the goal is to destroy a series of Evil Relics that appear and spawn enemies, Thief, where players need to keep ghosts from stealing special Artifacts, and Slime Dunk- a more competitive mode where players try to capture the most Slimers!

There is persistence between sessions in the form of online ranking, statistics, leaderboards, and Most Wanted Ghosts. Most Wanted Ghosts appear at various times in the game; like Pokemon (!), the goal is to find and capture

$70 extra for that crap? I think I will stick to my free t-shirt at Gamestop.

The game is also coming out on pc for only $33. Why is it so cheap compared to the consoles? Is it gonna be a crappy port?

I thought it was kind of short and silly.
