Ghostbusters Announced for PSP

Wraith · 09-30-2009, 11:17 AM

Atari is bringing Ghostbusters: The Video Game to the PSP this November. Ghostbusters released earlier this year for Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PS2, DS and Windows. (Really all that's left now is an iPhone version.) You can see a trailer for the PSP version here.

Ok, so we got our Ghostbusters game and it was great. Let's build on that and make an 80+ hour long, turn based RPG on the subject. Dooo eeeet.

Only 6 months late! Of course I'd give it a shot....

I might try it. I haven't watched the trailer -- does it have ad hoc co-op?

There is one...it's a horrible side scroller. Apparently they don't care about the iPhone.

Ah, it's developed by Sony Pictures Mobile, ported from a mobile version, and not related to the Atari game at all. Guess that's why I missed it.

I suppose they could always make a Mac version...

So is it the console version just miniaturized and ported to the PSP? I'll give it a try since I never did get around to playing the console version.

It looks to be a port of the Wii/PS2 version. From my understanding those games have the same story but have more stylized graphics and you can play co-op throughout the main story.

Well, Viddler is apparently god-awful.

Hmm. It worked fine for me.

This wasn't announced yet? It appeared on our list of games we can order at work about a month ago.

Well maybe Gorvi will allow his oldest to play with his PSP by then and we can play co-op

The Wii version (can't speak for PS2, but probably that as well) also had stupidly simplified controls, floaty movement, and major game breaking bugs.

Oh hell yes. Also, Ghostbusters: The Video Game: The Movie. Make it happen people.

Was the game very good? I know it was really hyped up before release, but I don't recall hearing much about the game after it came out, and no one is really talking about it at all now. It seems to have came and went very quickly.

Two words: Fan service.

It's a fun game, and I enjoyed it. The PS3 / 360 version, not the Wii one which is shit. It's just pretty short, and not really innovative, but I really enjoyed it for the story and presentation. It also really makes you feel like a Ghostbuster, which is awesome.

If you were a fan of the movies, the cartoon series...then it seemed those are the ones who really enjoyed playing it. There was quite a bit of dialogue on it I thought after the game came out. I really liked the movies but didn't bother with the cartoon. I have a mild interest in the game, especially if it's on a handheld...easy pick up and put down play feature.
