  • Summary: The Ghost Rider feature film follows superstar motorcycle stunt rider Johnny Blaze as he strikes a deal with the vile Mephistopheles for the most precious of commodities – his immortal soul. Now Johnny Blaze is forever destined to ride night after night as the host to the powerful supernaturural entity known as the Ghost Rider. The video game continues the storyline, dropping players into the role of Blaze as he is transformed into a super hero with powers to avenge any evil he encounters.

    Climax was really onto something here. If it only decided to sway a little from the constant arena-like battles and introduced some more exploration and puzzle-solving, with much more downtime, it could have been one of the great PS2 action games. [Issue #150, p.66]

    A real surprise - undeniably entertaining in short bursts, but repetitive in the long term. [Mar 2007, p.70]

    Bursting with superhero energy and verve, and makes up for what it lacks in inspiration with water-tight execution. [Feb 2007, p.58]

    Aside from the hit-and-miss movie, the video game version didn't fair to well, with horribly simplistic combat and grainy visuals leaving you asking - what's the point?

    I love this game, its derivative, but all aspects of the gameplay are executed excellently. I've been a fan of Ghost Rider for ages and I love this game. It captures the essence of Ghostie really well.… Expand

    The first 5 minutes were really enjoyable, but that was about it. I spent the whole time thinking 'ohh they nearly got it right, nearly' - a classic missed opportunity.… Expand

    This game is admittedly an enjoyable game but it achieves this by ripping off games like God of War and Devil May Cry, graphically it's good but not one of the ps2's better looking titles, the sound is good and voice acting is passable, the story is really boring though, and it has some good extras to unlock, the controls are a straight rip off of God of War as is the combat and the camera is fixed just like God of Wars, it borrows features from Devil May Cry also like its sound effects and the shotgun,the only unique thing about this game are the motorcycle levels, the problem with this game is that it is HIGHLY repetitive beat a fighting level and you get a motorcycle level, and some times it will be the same level in reverse, this is a game I wouldn't really recommend unless your looking for more God of War and you don't want to play through those games again, but it would be more fun to play through those again than to play this.… Expand
