Zero Punctuation: Ghostbusters: The Video Game
- Thread starter Yahtzee Croshaw
- Start date
Instead of making some incredibly predictable "WHO YA GONNA CALL" jokes, all I can say is that the episode is as hilarious as ever.
Such a consistently excellent show.
I was slightly worried that too many people would love this post-release due to nostalgia, but I actually found the title to have some interesting innovations.

He does make a good point that developers allow some rubbish movie game to come in and be rubbish!
This is weird.
I didn't grow up in the 80's, haven't played the game and never particularly liked the ghostbusters series but I feel outraged.
I like ghostbusters 2 and the extreme ghostbusters series (okay, so I did grow up with that last one along with the real ghostbusters [never got why it was called that]). The things Zp was picking at were the things that were good about GB i.e. the humour. I mean if the crossing streams thing wasn't in the game, there would be fan riots...

It was called the real ghostbusters cause there was a ghostbusters cartoon featuring a talking car and a damn gorrilla before it. The most retarded cartoon ever. I liked the game, but I can see the valid points he made. He could have pointed out how short the game was as well.carnkhan4 said:
I couldn't disagree more. I enjoyed the writing and the story, and the combat isn't nearly as bad as Yahtzee makes it out to be. It's actually quite simple and fun if you're even a slightly competent gamer, which is why I believe Yahtzee must not be. If he can't seem to get a handle on it, it must be the game's fault, of course... Funny review, as always, but it just goes to show that Yahtzee's reviews cannot be taken seriously when considering whether or not to purchase a game.
*sigh* I wish Yahtzee would atleast give us a clue what the game is actually like, instead of just bitching and whining about Hollywood and George Lucas every video. Complaining about everything and not mentioning any of the positives.
Nice all and all but I'm one of these 2 nerds in the world who didn't care the least about this Ghostbusters game. I never found the movies that great either, but that's just me.
On the other hand, the new Dr Who series is the best revival this world ever made. So what if it is about every other character sucking the Doctor's balls? When was ever that Doctor Who WASN'T about the Doctor? Not to mention that it's one of these few times that the new one is better than the Classic one (when I watched Star Trek: New Generation, I thought about how silly the original series would be, then was surprised that the Star Trek Classic is much deeper than any Star Trek nonsense made afterwards. I thought the same would happen with Doctor Who, but as I watched the original series, it just seemed very lacking in comparisson. Besides, the new Doctor Who sometimes have a director who really knows how to creep the hell out of you with weirdness)
(As for the BSG series, both were about the same... if you forget that BSG 1980 ever existed. But if you forget the new series 4th season then the new series is better... so the concept is arbitrary here)
