Activision has published a new Ghostbusters game to compliment the recent movie! Taking place after the events of the film, Ghostbusters introduces yet another group of four protagonists to save New York. Will Vic like this game more than the movie? Find out in his review!
man I didn't like that new Ghostbusters movie all that much but I did have a hope that I would dig the new Ghostbusters video game from Activision and wow this is a dog awful experience they really didn't deliver on what could have been a very fun simple video game here i think part of the main problem with my lack of enthusiasm for this is a bunch of them but the the sale price on this sucker is ridiculous this should be a ten-dollar game at most and what we're playing here this sort of top-down you know Diablo light it's a little bit like gauntlets a little bit like Smash TV type of experience this multiplayer game where there are four characters on screen the whole time and they're just shooting waves and waves of ghosts it's so simple it's so easy to kind of a conceived of.
a boss ghost that takes a little bit more time to knock out but you knock out almost every single boss ghost whether they're mini bosses are sort of the bigger and level bosses with the same scenarios you just shoot them until their weekend enough that you can grab with the proton beam and then you rotate your right thumb stick and then you slam him down with the left trigger and ad infinitum you just do that over and over again and there are not that many levels in the game and the way that they have artificially lengthen the experiences that you have to actually reach reverse the levels over and over again so there's not that much you know Gloucester or visual sort of variety anyways it's not a great look in Game it's all over-head perspective to begin with and you have to see these things for way too long the only plus i would say about this game is that you can share this experience with other people and it's kind of mindless it's just like you know any kind of a gauntlet of experience but even gauntlet I at least had more interesting I you know sort of class types and you'll be sitting and playing the game on the same college but you feel like different characters in this game it's you know they're bigger characters are smaller characters they have shotguns they have machine guns but they all feel pretty much the same you do have the ability to power up the weapon types and power up your health and power up your speed pretty generic pretty straightforward and you can cycle between the characters only when you quit back out you can't as a single player jump between all of the characters which I think was a tremendous mistake so you if you're playing this alone which is very tedious it's gonna take a long time to power up each one of these characters to a level that makes it a little bit faster to get through I you know I was shocked i mean this should have been a much more enjoyable experience and it was it's utterly forgettable it's tedious it's not great-looking the sound ups in the comedy sort of gags that are written for the game won't make you laugh you know I know that there are unlockable skins for it Ghostbusters that we've seen on the screen but good luck having the patience to last that long to find those unlockables this game really turned me off I'm gonna give the new Ghostbusters game from Activision a 3.5 out of 10 who hey thanks for checking out that video on our VPN channel is just one small part of the things that we make around here so if you liked it don't forget to check out some of our other vids and hit that subscribe button
now I'm not saying that the the Gamemakers didn't have work to do to build this for everybody certainly building a multiplayer game with characters with different abilities as a difficult deal but this is not something that you know just sparks with this the creative abandon and this out of nowhere kind of revelatory we've never played games like this kind of thing this is by the numbers you know room to room clear out the bad guys find the keys unlock the doors kind of BS that we've seen a video games forever and honestly I mean Smash TV is one of the first things that you think of because it's a dual stick shooter that game was more imaginative that was funny year it was better satire than this new Ghostbusters game is and Ghostbusters that's what you know that was the main sort of key thing that I I took away from the movie it's supposed to be funny and it's also supposed to translate to the video game it's also supposed to be funny so while they're in Washington saving the free world we sit here looking at selfies of them saving the free world Hmm what's wrong with this picture and not too long ago we actually got a pretty decent Ghostbusters game i think it was Atari that published it with voice cast the original voice cast all popped back into the game and it was funny it was a great ghostbusters experience and you know it's 2016 there was a lot of money and a lot of Hope behind bringing Ghostbusters back and to have it sort of just sit there and sort of physical and not hit any of its expectations or any of the hopes and dreams that we had for this franchise is just unbelievable especially because you know that the technologies and the tools and the character types and the abilities that are have been presented in all of the Ghostbusters variations whether they've been on screen or in the cartoons or previous video games it's good fodder for making a fantastic you know modern-day 2016 video game experience with some great fidelity and some great production values and this is just too weak.
I mean it would be an alright downloadable game at a very sort of low discount price you do get some pretty cool abilities with the proton streams and grabbing the ghost and slamming them down but the game is just so repetitive you're just doing the same kinds of things over and over again taking out the same kinds of you know sort of routine bad guys and then every once in a while you get a a boss ghost that takes a little bit more time to knock out but you knock out almost every single boss ghost whether they're mini bosses are sort of the bigger and level bosses with the same scenarios you just shoot them until their weekend enough that you can grab with the proton beam and then you rotate your right thumb stick and then you slam him down with the left trigger and ad infinitum you just do that over and over again and there are not that many levels in the game and the way that they have artificially lengthen the experiences that you have to actually reach reverse the levels over and over again so there's not that much you know Gloucester or visual sort of variety anyways it's not a great look in Game it's all over-head perspective to begin with and you have to see these things for way too long the only plus i would say about this game is that you can share this experience with other people and it's kind of mindless it's just like you know any kind of a gauntlet of experience but even gauntlet I at least had more interesting I you know sort of class types and you'll be sitting and playing the game on the same college but you feel like different characters in this game it's you know they're bigger characters are smaller characters they have shotguns they have machine guns but they all feel pretty much the same you do have the ability to power up the weapon types and power up your health and power up your speed pretty generic pretty straightforward and you can cycle between the characters only when you quit back out you can't as a single player jump between all of the characters which I think was a tremendous mistake so you if you're playing this alone which is very tedious it's gonna take a long time to power up each one of these characters to a level that makes it a little bit faster to get through I you know I was shocked i mean this should have been a much more enjoyable experience and it was it's utterly forgettable it's tedious it's not great-looking the sound ups in the comedy sort of gags that are written for the game won't make you laugh you know I know that there are unlockable skins for it Ghostbusters that we've seen on the screen but good luck having the patience to last that long to find those unlockables this game really turned me off I'm gonna give the new Ghostbusters game from Activision a 3.5 out of 10 who hey thanks for checking out that video on our VPN channel is just one small part of the things that we make around here so if you liked it don't forget to check out some of our other reviews
