Zero Punctuation: Ghostbusters: The Video Game

[IamQ]

Knew you would complain about the AI. Although is there any game except Left 4 Dead where you cannot complain about the AI?

Never really a big Ghostbusters fan, to be honest.

 

[Zefar]

Thank God we didn't have to wait a year to get the game in Australia.

Nope, this time it's Europe to take the shit. We ain't getting the game until September or something.
Why is beyond me.

Nice review though.

Must. Wash. Brain. Bad Image. Pig. *Death*

Oh well, it was hilarious even if it did scar me for life.

"You've got the equivalent of a speeding fireworks truck in the middle of the nuclear holocaust"
"It's like keeping plates spinning in the middle of a moshpit"

Quite plain ZP aside from those two lines.

One day there will be a goooood game based on a movie or book. Goldenye does not count 'cause it only used the name. It's a entirely different thing from the movie.

i feel sorry for the pig

 

[mustango]

Thanks for that final tag line to remind me why I loved the original movie.

Hrmmmmm... rubbish him for stamping on Ghostbusters being like the movie (Well DUH!)

or gleefully praise him for stomping on Doctor Who's writing.

Meh, you win this time, Yahtzee, this time.

On the contrary, I enjoyed Ghostbusters immensely. Sure, his review was funny, but a lot of the stuff he was complaining about (like the characters and the game being realistic to Ghosbusters canon) were the REASON I enjoyed the game so much. I had a few minor complaints, but nothing that absolutely ruined the game for me. So, in short, funny review Yahtzee, but I disagree with you and you are entitled to your opinion.

I think retard roundup is a good name for the new doctor who series actually...

 

[Smith13]

Aw, I was expecting Red Faction. Good review though.

 

[doffmann]

most use his free time making up curses

 

[Quantana]

classic and good as always however my friend kinda liked the game allright everyone let's kill him.

 

[Necrith]

games need to stop doing stuff like "press X to revive your partner"
starting to hate it on the same level as quick time events

 

[Mrsoupcup]

Wait, they actually got Dan Ackroyd to do voices for this game?

Hmm.

He wrote the script...

 

[yourbeliefs]

I had a feeling Yahtzee wasn't going to like this game. Of course that was confirmed about 30 seconds into the review as he was describing all the things that SHOULD have made the game good. Okay review overall.

I know I saw a piss poor game coming the instant they said they were doing it but like most chumps I was dangling out above the sea of shit most games evolve from on that last tiny string of hope that Ghostbusters would be good. But of course, crawling onto the shit-shores of the shit-sea came yet another shit-creature whose first basic instinct was to cut my tether so it could frolic around me as I drowned.
