It might not look as polished as the other versions, and it's lacking a lot of the great little nods to the movies that made the others great like the painting of Vego located in the GB HQ and the twinkies in the kitchen, but overall it's a nice port. If you grew up in the late 80s/early 90s, GB was a big part of your childhood and this game brings back great memories of being a kid. The game is entertaining, I remember playing the NES ghostbusters games and they weren't that fun - this game is. Need I mention it has an all star cast?

This would be an exceptional game, but the way that the controls are designed is awful. This must have been an early Wii game, because it relies too heavily on the constant need to have your Wii-mote pointing perfectly at the sensor. If you move your Wii-mote one iota to the left or right, your character follows after it and you cannot properly play the game. I found myself constantly spinning around the room and after several attempts to play, I just became so frustrated that I shut it off. Buy the Xbox 360 version and you will be much happier.

Ghostbusters is not only my childhood nastalgia of choice, it's a passion of mine. I originaly purchased the PS3 version of Ghostbusters and loved every minute of it. The game play is fun and challenging the story line is good and having the original cast do the voice work made this my faverite movie game I have played by a long shot! I was checking out a GB fansite and did not realize that the Wi version was based on artwork by Dapper Dan(check his style out on deviantart.com). The Wi version has a fun style to the graphics and the game play is different. The story line is very simalar to the other platforms yet there are enoph changes from bosses and challenges to keep it interesting even if you have played it on PS3 or 360.If you are a true Ghosthead like me get both versions. If you only chose one get it for PS3 or 360.Read full review
Takes you back to the original cast of the 80's Ghostbusters, which is the best Ghostbusters in my opinion. Game play is fun and engaging, giving you plenty of goals and challenges. Having the original cast from the movie is great and hilarious to listen to the dialogue. Graphics: Not the most modern or best Graphics but it has a lot of charm to it. Hey, it's retro now. Sound: Top Notch with sounds you know from the movie Game play: You'll feel like your one of the Ghostbusters with a proton pack that will destroy most objects in a room and capture ghosts. Lots of fun. Lots of objectives and goals such as scanning ghost and finding out more information. Value: A cherished movie captured in a game that is actually fun. What more do you need? If you love and cherish the original Ghostbusters of the 80's, don't hesitate to buy this game for the Wii. You will enjoy it.Read full review

Why did I buy this game? Nastalgia from the original movie, Wii Motion gameplay that would include my 5 yr old son and I playing together and price point through eBay. First, I am aware that the Wii is not supposed to be a graphics intensive machine. HOWEVER, the graphics quality of this game, on the Wii, still fell below expectation. Blocky characters looked as bad as the V.Tech (V.Smile) games. Also, the Wii motions are repetitive and boring and the split screen for 2 players (on a 46" HD projection) is difficult to watch in order to follow the action in the game. Furthermore, character movement is confusing and clumsy, much like any Resident Evil game...which IMHO is not good. Lastly, the game has been on the shelf since first playing and hasn't moved since. Stick with Wii Sports (and Sports Resort) and any of the Mario Bros. games for entertainment on the Wii. Get an Xbox 360 for fun 1st person gaming.Read full review
I love that the characters in the game are voiced by Bill Murray, Dan Akroid, and Harold Ramos. The dialog is witty & keeps it interesting for those not playing. The game is relatively simple- find the hidden objects, use your PKE meter to sniff out the ghots, and untimately trap them. I bought this one for my husband's birthday, and the whole family has been enjoying it- even my 6 year old daughter!
This game brings it all back! The soundtrack is classic Ghostbusters from the 1980's and a lot of the original dialogue /jokes are here in the Wii version of the game. Would be more fun if it had control settings for use with the wii zapper. I love this game and my brother and I laugh just when walking around hearing the music from the movie we grew up with. Great game, fun, but controls con be challenging for younger players.
With the real actors taking on their characters voices, fun monsters and challenging levels, the whole family loves this game!

First off I'm a huge Ghostbusters fan so when my 5 year old asked for the game I couldn't say no. I ended up playing it more then he did. I love the comedy & storyline. The only down side is that everything is kinda repetitive & it can be boring at times. I would have rather had a Ghostbusters 3 movie but the game is a very good substitute.
