You know that copyright screen that's always almost right at the end of the credits, with a paragraph of something witty? That paragraph should switch places with the copyright jargon paragraph that's always there, so that when we pause the video to read the good stuff that giant play button in the middle of the screen covers up the copyright stuff we already know and couldn't care less about anyway, rather than covering up that witty bit we actually want to read.
Personally, Ghostbusters looked like everything I'd hoped for on paper, writing by the real writers, all the Ghostbusters in the game, but why do we have to play as some nameless newbie?! What happened to playing as the four main characters?
Looking at it, I can only think "fan service" is the only appropriate description. Nice try, guys, but Yahtzee still comes out the World Heavyweight Champion of Video Game Naysaying.

Between the multiple callbacks to the film and the notion of spinning plates in a mosh pit that won't shut the fuck up, Yahtzee delivers exactly what we expect, which is more than can be said for the gaming industry.
I was thinking of getting this game, but Yhatzee has brought up all the problems I suspected might be in it and told me they were in the game.
Thanks for saving me money!

Canon nerds need to be shot out of a cannon, most of the stuff written for movies and tv isn't planned very well except in the context of the current project, so they don't care if they are screwing over the next whatever, and you end up with problems like this, games with faults that could of easily been fixed with a little screwing of canon, honestly canon doesn't mind that much, not after what Star Trek did to her.
So far critics are in the 70s range, which given all the hype (with reason this time, actors and all), it should have been better...
...meh, BTW which version was reviewed? I know they're the same (Wii not counting naturally) but for some reason many places don't get the 360 version right now.

Wow, that final analogy totally wasn't unnecessary!
Also, I'm sure you've seen what the NES 'Busters games were like, so how would you compare the two? Would you say that the nicer graphics in the new game make it more or less bearable?
Of course, you probably wont respond so I'll assume you find the NES more bearable since the busters dont say a word.

There seemed to be a lot of sucking of balls in this one. Don't worry Yahtzee, we believe you when you say you're not gay...
Hmm.. i thought yahtzee would like the game, then again he probably thought I wouldn't think that, so we are all equally suprised.
Amazingly I have never seen all of any of the movies, only about 3 min from the 3rd one. it was decent 3 minutes, but I could have spent them better.
I was listening to the theme song during this review.
