What can be said of this gem for any Ghostbusters fan that hasn't been said before? To me, this is the 3rd movie we never got. You'll get action, comedy and some eerie places to explore. This is my 5th time purchasing this game in 4 different platforms and it has been worth every damn penny. If you liked the first two movies jump right in!

Ghostbusters: The Video Game was a fan-favorite when it first released in 2009, and Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered offers a polished version of that original experience for modern audiences. Developed by Saber Interactive and published by Mad Dog Games, this remaster brings improved visuals, enhanced audio, and modern features, all while preserving the charm and humor of the original. But does it hold up in the world of today’s gaming landscape, or is it just a run-of-the-mill nostalgia trip? Let’s dive in. The game’s story is one of its strongest aspects, largely because it’s written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, the original minds behind the Ghostbusters franchise. The plot is a continuation of the Ghostbusters universe, set a few years after the events of the films. You play as the new recruit, a fresh face to the team, as the Ghostbusters—now a well-established business—face a new paranormal threat that could plunge New York City into chaos. The plot is fun, fast-paced, and filled with plenty of callbacks to the classic films, but it also introduces new, interesting elements to the Ghostbusters lore. As the rookie, you’ll work alongside the familiar crew—Peter Venkman (Bill Murray), Ray Stantz (Dan Aykroyd), Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis), and Winston Zeddemore (Ernie Hudson)—as they try to uncover the source of a ghostly uprising. The chemistry between the voice actors is superb, capturing the spirit of the original movies. Bill Murray’s comedic timing is as sharp as ever, and the other actors provide a perfect balance of humor and sincerity. One of the highlights of the game is the camaraderie between the team. As the rookie, you're often at the center of humorous banter between the characters, which keeps the tone light-hearted even in the middle of ghost-chasing chaos. The inclusion of memorable characters and ghosts from the films, like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man and Slimer, gives the game a true Ghostbusters feel. The core of Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered revolves around capturing ghosts using a variety of specialized proton packs and gadgets. The gameplay is a mix of action and exploration, with players navigating New York's haunted locations and using their proton pack to capture ghosts in satisfying, physics-driven combat. The goal isn’t just to shoot—it's about strategically wrangling the spirits and slamming them into ghost traps, all while avoiding environmental hazards and dodging enemy attacks. The combat system feels great, especially with the addition of the remastered visuals and smooth controls. The proton pack's beam can be aimed and adjusted with precision, and the game makes good use of the pack’s different modes, such as the Shock Blast, Slime Blower, and Meson Collider. These varied weapons make fighting ghosts more dynamic and engaging. The variety of ghosts you encounter is also a major draw; each type has its own behavior and weaknesses, requiring you to adapt your strategy to each encounter. The gameplay loop can get repetitive at times, with similar ghost-catching mechanics being used in various locations. However, the variety of environments, such as spooky mansions, creepy museums, and the classic Sedgewick Hotel, helps keep things fresh. The missions are generally enjoyable and paced well, with just enough variation in objectives to avoid complete monotony. The controls are intuitive, and the combat mechanics are refined, making capturing ghosts feel satisfying, especially when you're able to outsmart a particularly tricky spirit. The fact that you’re constantly working with your team, whether it’s the banter between Venkman and Ray or being backed up by Winston and Egon, makes the combat feel like a team effort, which adds to the fun. The remastered version of the game delivers an improved visual experience, with better textures, lighting, and character models. The environments are vibrant and detailed, capturing the eerie, yet humorous tone of the Ghostbusters franchise. The improvements to the graphics help the game stand out more in the current gaming landscape, though it's clear this is still a remaster rather than a complete ground-up rebuild. The visual fidelity isn’t on par with current-gen AAA titles, but for fans of the original, the remaster is a treat. The ghostly effects are a highlight of the visual design. The dynamic lighting and the way ghosts shimmer, flicker, and move through the environment is striking. The proton pack’s effects, in particular, are visually satisfying as you blast streams of energy at the phantoms. The special effects hold up well and are still one of the most enjoyable parts of the game. Despite the visual improvements, there are moments when the textures or animations feel a little dated, but overall, Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered does a commendable job of bringing the original game into the modern era. Fans of the franchise will certainly appreciate the attention to detail and the way the remaster captures the spirit of the films. The sound design is excellent, with a soundtrack that is unmistakably Ghostbusters. The iconic theme by Ray Parker Jr. is of course included, along with a host of other tracks that add to the atmosphere. The sound of the proton pack’s energy beam and the eerie wails of ghosts are instantly recognizable and enhance the gameplay experience. Voice acting is top-notch, and hearing the original cast reprise their roles as the Ghostbusters crew adds a great deal of charm. Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, and Ernie Hudson bring the same energy and wit that they did in the movies, which really elevates the overall experience. The dialogue between the characters is genuinely funny, and it adds a lot of personality to the game. The occasional ghostly wail or creak in the environment also adds to the atmosphere, making each location feel like it’s truly haunted. Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered is a fantastic experience for fans of the Ghostbusters franchise, delivering a fun and immersive adventure that captures the heart of the original films. The gameplay is satisfying, with fun combat mechanics and an engaging story, all set in the rich Ghostbusters universe. The remaster does a great job of updating the visuals and sound while maintaining the charm of the original game. While the gameplay can become a bit repetitive, the overall experience is still highly enjoyable, especially for those who love the Ghostbusters movies and want to step into their shoes as a member of the team. The remaster offers a fresh coat of paint without losing what made the original game so beloved. It’s a blast to play, whether you’re a longtime fan or just discovering the franchise. Rating: 8/10

Everything you want out of a Ghostbusters game. I wish they would make DLC or a second game. Graphics and lighting effects hold up, and Elmer Bernstein's original soundtrack gives you what you asked for. Voiced by the greats. Played this game 6-7 times since it released - it's that fun! The angel gate fight is one of the worst fights out of any game I've played. The only thing pushing me through it was my love for the IP.

Classic Ghostbusters, some missions feels kinda common or so repetive, but its great to have the game in PC
