So happy this was released FAR before Harold Ramis' death, so we could enjoy this masterpiece

[@jessepinkman6079]

Im glad they remastered it.

[@wheeljack0]

Same for me, this is Ghostbusters 3......and it was great.

[@jcmoney11111]

I came to say this comment before even watching this. It was part 3.

[@Honoryoursystem]

Actually it was! They were gonna call it Ghostbusters III. Made a logo and all but Sony didn’t want it called that. So if you’re playing it… You’re actually playing Ghostbusters III.

[@Firedoomhell]

Yes this is definitely part 3. So what would the new movie be part 4?

[@terrancebloxlore3209]

so true

[@jw_gojifan19]

That bad huh?

[@TheZillaman89]

Yeah. Bombed big time.

[@PythonSnake]

Very true, but funny that Ghostbusters is also an SNL spawn of sorts

[@gamersuniteish]

Nick Network Gaming the actors looked like old man and could barely move like they used too

[@EddyTheDevil1]

This game is 10 years old and it's getting a remaster? The timing could not have been any more perfect!

[@Depressedwhale14]

It’s almost like… *looks around* they planned it that way?

[@jaygooese4242]

13 years later still great

[@haesuslipbalm]

I was wondering what the remaster offered. The 360/pc port actually had it available in HD. Is it just an increase to 4K or hdr?

[@andykishore]

Yep, 13 years later now.

[@24Fanboy]

I love how innocent James is of modern games - explaining the autosave like it's a new innovation. Never change James!

[@sightseeing7993]

Probably was for consoles in 2010

[@EVIL-C]

@@sightseeing7993 It wasnt.

[@Nighthawk6827]

I remembered on Halloween when I was in 8th grade, I went trick or treating in a custom-made Ghostbusters costume. I stuffed my backpack and added a nozzle protruding from the pack to give it the illusion of a Proton Pack. After going Trick or Treating, I returned home and spent the rest of my night watching Ghostbusters until I got the game a year later for my Birthday.

[@jtbedazzle]

[@leon30517]

[@Nighthawk6827]

GravityZero Thanks, I appreciate the compliment.

[@alphawindman]

James not understanding how autosaves work is hilarious.

[@Nova_Needle]

To be fair though, most games that have autosave make a point to tell you so. He mostly harped on the lack of save slots for more than one playthrough, which I too was disappointed with.

[@alphawindman]

themaximum9901 The lack of multiple save slots is unacceptable, I agree.

[@alexsilva28]

+Alphawindman IVL Because he's the AVGN and only plays old school games! Hahaha when I got my Xbox 360 for christmas I didn't knew how to save my games

[@nexus1g]

It would have been great to save freely when you're in the firehouse. Missing the cutscene would suck.

[@DareToBeDeviant]

It was probably one of those "Doy!" moments the developer team had after the final product was sent to the publisher for distribution. _Damn it, should've implemented save AFTER mission and before cutscenes!_ I don't have a modern console so I still save to memory cards but at least many of my games happen to give me the message 'saving to card'. Do today's consoles not alert the player? That's how James would've been confused. If there's no checkpoint system (we all know means saving progress) at least have a visual otherwise we'd be scanning all the menu options in vain.

[@BOND19951]

An amazing game and possibly the best Ghostbusters game ever made. If it wasn't for AVGN review of this game I would have never brought this game back in 2011. Sadly no ghostbusters game or future movie will ever be the same without Harold Ramis/Egon Spengler in my opinion. RIP Harold Ramis.

[@DD-ix3bm]

Unless he's cgi'd back in ya know, in an afterlife movie ;)

[@simmerfreek3501]

This game is by far my favorite Ghostbusters game. I always wished that it had a more open world environment. There are so many places that I wanted to go explore.

[@JaredRaccoon]

Nerd: “a good ghostbusters game” James: “believe it or not yes” Nerd: “Guess you don’t need me” James: “Nope We Don’t”

[@raccoon8962]

Yes. We watched the video.

[@ozanozenir2503]

Woooooooooow its almost like this exact same conversation takes place in a video that we all just watched. What a coincidence right?

[@Lukethefox]

Yeah I am really enjoying this game. I kinda wish they could let you customize your Ghostbuster rookie character so that he/she would look like you.

[@HaakonAnderson]

Dude that's funny you say that, I bought this on Xbox when it came out and was weirded out the dude kinda looked like me. When my brother came over he even thought that I made the character in an editor or something. I was like nope, just happen to look like him...

This was a very nice review. As much as I enjoy AVGN's over the top comedy, it's very refreshing to see something like this in contrast.

To be fair the PS2/Wii and DS ports of the game were very solid in their own right too. I believe the PSP version is good as well but has very long loading times.

Definitely GHOSTBUSTERS 3.

[@russellj.s.257]

So,I'm guessing Ghostbusters afterlife will be Ghostbusters 4

[@Bauglir100]

@Brandon Acevedo Maybe that's why Afterlife is subtitled instead of numbered, to get around the hiccup of whether or not this game is Ghostbusters 3 or 2.5.

[@mysticanimation22]

This game is awesome! The only issue I had with it was on Prefessional difficulty. Your AI teammates go down way too easily and they don't even help each other up. Plus it takes you 3-5 seconds to help one of them up which leaves you open for an attack. Also like AVGN said, I'd like to drive the Ecto 1

[@jarrodm9299]

Played the PS4 Remastered Version and definitely the best GB game hands down.

[@Bauglir100]

I played the Switch version in anticipation of Ghostbusters: Afterlife, and I agree!

[@geetar82]

RIGHT!! That was scary a hell!! This is a great horror/comedy game that every ghostbusters fan must play. Even if you don't like video games, you need to at least watch someone play it to get the true ghostbusters 3 storyline. At least this is ghostbusters 3 for me. Any one else?

[@bradhedgehog12]

So this Game takes place after the second Ghostbuster Movie. Makes sense since my Aliens Colonial Marine Game Takes place after Alien 3. Yes. I a Ghostbuster Fan. I’ve always wanna work along side them guys.

[@sirMAXX77]

RIP Ramis. I wish he could have been around to make another GB game with more open world exploring like what James said. That would have been fantastic.

[@HarryIndeed]

I hope they remaster this for PS4, XBOX 1, and maybe even Switch sometime soon. Make it real pretty with super detailed textures, add a retical so you know exactly where you're shooting, fix some of the bugs and jazz and definitely fix the saving thing that James mentioned. That would have screwed me too. I would love to see that.

[@Obsydiaan]

I grabbed this on Steam during the Halloween sale for only $2.50, and I was pleasantly surprised. The PC version has a few issues, namely forced mouse acceleration that can't be disabled and no multiplayer, but I still had a blast. It definitely felt like a proper addition to the Ghostbusters franchise.

Little fact about the library level, after you defeat the Grey Lady/Librarian; after you go through the portal to the other dimension, you can see the underground library room you were just in. Look over to the right, and you'll see the room, along with the tunnels you took to get there.

[@passthehanky]

+Haakon Anderson completely different companies with completely different budgets and staffs... how is that comparison worth anything?

[@HaakonAnderson]

MouseyWithPower So if a company sells a product for real money, they don't have to make it work right? Or they only need to make it work right if they have (x) amount of money??? Yeah great argument Zip-Nuts

[@passthehanky]

how is that my argument? i'm just saying that you can't make a comparison between two completely different studios and say they should have the same level of optimization. different teams with different budgets and different deadlines produce varying levels of products. just because skyrim runs well on your shitty computer doesn't mean that this team had the same amount of money to put towards that or the same talent to do it as smoothly as bethesda's. it's not that they "only need to make it work so well" it's that maybe they couldn't with deadlines or budget to hire people good enough to do it. maybe learn to read and spell "potato" before you call me zip-nuts and put an argument into my comment that isn't there.

[@HaakonAnderson]

Maybe thats why the studio went out of business.

it's probable, yeah. sucks too, this is a great game.
