Indeed, not only is it fun to play, but a faithful treatment and genuine expansion of the original property. As it is with good works in any field , this didn't happen by accident. I wish I knew who exactly was responsible for this treatment, just so I could send them a single rose with a note attached saying "You rock and don't stop". I suspect the responsibility largely rests within the involvement of Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis; children tend to prefer being in the care of their rightful parents. Regardless of origins, let's take a look at the elements that make Ghostbusters such a great adaptation."

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."

Glad to hear such positive comments on Ghostbusters. :)
Dammit! You've convinced me to try this out now! Just wish they'd get round to releasing the 360 & Wii versions over in the UK. The sub-standard PS3 version simply won't do
I think the major thing here is that the Ghostbuster game came out 20 years after the movie. They weren't working on a limited time frame like most movie based games. Besides, LucasArts has been makeing great Star Wars ganes for a long while so this is hardly ground breaking thing.
I think Ghostbusters was a solid game that fit the movies well. Don't see how the series could possibly be made into a better game than this.
That being said, i'd still rather have a new movie :)
What I played of the game was rather good. They got the wrangling mechanic down pat and the writing was right up therewith the first movie.
