What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
A meaty single player campaign or story mode, the ability to play the few brief story bits that do exist in co-op, unlimited time in levels, an open city or large levels, driving the Ecto-1, more than a couple of handfuls of maps, or appearances from all of the movie characters.
This is complete with full progression/achievements and there is a wealth of upgrades, skins and accessories to unlock in this game package.
A first person (when playing as the 'Busters) asymmetrical multiplayer game (with bots for solo play if so desired) in which you play either as a Ghostbuster (with a team of three others) trying to capture ghosts while working against the clock, or as a ghost, trying to fully haunt various locations before being captured and running out of rifts (which function essentially like respawns/lives.)
While the visuals in the Ecto Edition are scaled back compared to the PC/console versions, the game still retains a strong aesthetic.
Short session asymmetrical matches, creating your own Ghostbusters, wandering around the iconic firehouse headquarters, getting slimed, sliming Ghosbusters, possessing and haunting various objects, unlocking tons of customization items, co-op matches with friends, and lots of nostalgia both for the films and the Real Ghostbusters cartoon.
The music does a great job of feeling like the original soundtrack while adding layers of epicness.
