For all the fanboys out there who want to beat their chests about which system got it right, there are some differences between the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of this game. The PS3 features an eight-minute, 4 GB install that apparently doesn't do much seeing as how it takes both games about 30 seconds to load after a death or load a mission from the main screen. Although the PS3 has exclusive videos about refurbishing Ecto-1 and the Blu-ray release of the first movie, the graphics seem to be a touch dumbed down on Sony's system.
If you dug the movies, there's no reason that you should be disappointed with Ghostbusters: The Video Game. There are some moments that cause the game to stumble, but you're getting a new tale in the Ghostbusters canon, fun gameplay, a whole bunch of stuff to destroy, and some cool ghosts to scan. IGN felt that the game's ending was a bit flat and the romantic interest was forced, but Ghostbusters is a hell of a ride.

WTMG's Todd Eggleston: "Ghostbusters The Video Game is nostalgia done right, and puts you right back in 1984. It isn’t a masterpiece of a game, and neither was the movie, but it reminds us again that it is ok for entertainment to just be entertaining. It is a game that deserves to be remastered and remembered. And 35 years later, it also serves to remind us that a remaster doesn’t always need to be Fall Out Boy and Missy Elliott. Sometimes, Ray Parker Jr. is exactly who you need to call."

What are you comparing it to? Reviews make no sense what so ever.
**Oh wait it was 360 ign duh!
"Although the PS3 has exclusive videos about refurbishing Ecto-1 and the Blu-ray release of the first movie..."
Does that mean the PS3 version has the Ghostbusters movie on the disc too? Or is it a trailer. Cause if it has the movie too, then I will definitely buy it, otherwise it is a rental.
This looks good dammit.
