The Rule: Video Games Based On Movies/TV Shows Suck.
Trust me on this one, I've seen dozens of great movies, and I've seen almost all of them turned into games that stink worse than my co-workers farts. No matter how great the source material is, they always seem to do a quater assed job of it.
They make these games on a very small budget as to maximise their income. People will flock to game stores to get these games just because they enjoyed the movie.
And they will keep producing these crappy games so long as you buy them, so I beg of you, stop flooding the Top 10 charts with games that REALLY do not belong there.
OK, rant over.
Now, as with any rule, there are exceptions, In this case I'd like to talk about GhostBusters: The Game, now this... this... is how movie games should be made, great gameplay, the proper voice actors, and not some cheap sound alike and no quotes from the movie on loop, that drives me loopy that last one.
Set after the events of GhostBusters 2, you play Nameless Rookie, hired as the teams Expertiment Equipment Tester, cause the rest are to valuable to the team to try it themselves.
Soon after your induction, ghosts start to appear all over New York, some of them bringing back some bad memories for the GBs. And using your experimental backpack, you and the GBs do what they do best, capture the ghosts and 'accidentally' cause damage along the way.
The capture system, can be a bit confusing at the start, using 3 of the shoulder buttons a the same time to perform a successfully capture, but after about 5-10 ghosts, you'll get the hang of it.
I haven't played much of the game yet, so far I've only clocked up about 2 hours, but from what has happened so far, the rest of the game will be amazing.
Who ya gonna call... Work, and tell them your sick.
NB. Ive only played the PS3 version, so I'm not sure how the Wii version matches up, with its different graphics and gameplay, If you have played it, leave it in the comments or submit a video for 20something TV.
