    Ghostbusters: The Videogame isn’t a bad game, but had more potential. Empty levels, ghosts that move too fast for the psp to move along and the sound show the symptoms of an average port. The gameplay itself is rather varied and the cutscenes are wonderful. Too bad the PSP didn’t get its own version of the game.
  2. Disappointing when compared to the PS3 version and even other PSP games. Could have bee a lot better.
  3. At the end of the day, Ghostbusters for PSP isn't a bad game but seems like a bit more work would have helped push this over the thresh hold.
  4. We should’ve known that Ghostbusters on the PSP wouldn’t be up to the standards of the console version. But the concessions are made in all the wrong area’s. The cartoon-like looks make the nostalgic feelings disappear and the ghost hunting is plain boring. A bad port of the PS2-version, which in itself was a bad enough port.

    I'm an older videogame player that really enjoyed the movie, so I wanted to play on my PSP. The game is a real hoot and I highly recommend it for Ghostbuster fans. The character interaction is funny and fulfilling. The controls aren't bad, but once again we are reminded that the PSP needs a second stick on the right side. Ghostbuster fan? GET IT! Expand

  4. It's basically the same game as the PS2/Wii version, which is a stripped down version of the Xbox 360 and PS3 version. The game would be fine except the controls kill it. It's a weird combination of auto-aim and using the buttons to control your reticle. If they could have done a better job on the controls, this would have been a grand game. Expand
