While it hasn't aged gracefully, Ghostbusters; The Video Game Remastered is still a fun time. Crappy AI aside, the combat, puzzles and collectables make it worth playing.
With a fresh coat of paint, higher resolution, and sharper textures, Ghostbusters: The Game Remastered brings the unofficial Ghostbusters 3 script to life for a whole new audience.

One can clearly see the influence of Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd. If you are a Ghostbusters fanboy like myself then I highly suggest this game.
Many of you noobs, Shubs and Zuuls will know what it is to be roasted in the depths of a Sloar someday, I can tell you.
Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered is still a pretty good game if you can look past some of its niggling issues.

Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered offers endless joy to the fans of the Ghostbusters movie franchise, but maybe not to others. If you never watched the movies before, you probably shouldn’t buy this game either.

Ghostbusters - The Video Game Remastered brings back one of the best works ever made to expand movie universes for games. With script and cast on par with what has been seen in theaters, it can maintain a fascinating ambience and unite it with consistent gameplay. This remastered version, however, although it can update some graphics, looks a lot more like a port, since it does not add much to what has been seen before and still needs some improvements, such as localization for our language, something that could not only present the game for a new audience as well as giving it new meanings for those who knew it before.

Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered is elevated thanks to its cast and writers. This could have gone so wrong in so many ways but it ended up being one of the better movie tie-in games made in the seventh console generation.
Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered is a double-edged sword. It does a lot of things right with the story and atmosphere, but the gameplay is mediocre to good, with many flaws around the companion AI, which often ruins the experience. Since the fun multiplayer component of the original release isn't included yet, this game is only for serious fans of the movie or the original game.
A fun story, excellent voice work from the original cast, and a nice new shine to the visuals, all making the campaign feel solid. The removal of multiplayer and a lack of polish on the cutscenes make this feel a little rushed, though. If you are a fan of the brand, you will enjoy this game, but if you never really cared for the Ghostbusters, then this won't change your mind.
Ghostbusters: The Video Game is the best game based on the franchise and this remaster makes playing it more enjoyable than ever.
So the question is: Is Ghostbusters The Videogame Remastered worth the investment? Absolutely. While this is kind of a love letter to long time Ghostbusters fan, it’s also a competent shooter for fans of the genre. The intricacies to hunt down ghosts brings a bit of variety to the genre compared to most shooters where you simply run and gun. As much as I’ve enjoyed the game, with the removal of multiplayer and lack of additional modes, it’s a missed opportunity to improve an already enjoyable experience. Thanks to its budget pricing, it’s definitely worth investing in.
If you've ever thought it would be cool to strap on a proton pack and join the likes of Peter, Egon, Ray, and Winston to bust some ghosts this may be a thrill for you...
