 [Review] - Ghostbusters: The Video Game Co-Op Review

Ghostbusters: The Video Game is one of my favorite games, currently. I'm not sure if nostalgia has blinded me, but that's very likely. This game does not seek to change the face of gaming -- it was created to appease Ghostbusters fans, and it does so very well. The big question here at Co-Optimus is: does it give us the stellar co-op that a Ghostbusters game of this generation should provide?

I gotta say I spent about a solid week with the Co-op and while I hated it at first, lagging a ton and inability to invite friends to ranked games, it really grew on me.
When there is no lag, the game is rock solid and there is a built in server browser so provided you are all in a party, you can tell your friends to look for your specific game.

 RE:Ghostbusters: The Video Game Co-Op Review
The lack of an in-game lobby is horrible, and the short co-op modes are just teases. That said, the single player mission is STELLAR!! At times the effects are almost overkill but man are they amazing. Personally I love wandering the firehouse looking for junk from the movies, like Louis' desk or the toaster on the pool table.

 Re: [Review] - Ghostbusters: The Video Game Co-Op Review
I'm debating on if I will end up buying this now, or just wait for a price drop. Most of the reviews are pretty positive, just not sure if I want to pony up full price for it.

I'm with Roland-- it's on my when-the-price-drops list. I hear it's pretty short. It's a shame, because out here in the sticks with no XBL and no other gamers around, I could use a good single-player game. Ah well, I still need to see the second movie anyway.

Yeah, definitely waiting for this one to hit <$40. But I certainly can't wait for that day!

 Re: [Review] - Ghostbusters: The Video Game Co-Op Review
I finally got around to playing some co-op last night. I enjoyed it. But I just gotta say, my biggest disappointment was the lack of a lobby. Once you finish a round, you are automatically booted to the menu, so you can no longer chat with your party, and there is no option to start a new round or anything. That was a big disappointment and frustration.
Gameplay itself was fun. I really enjoyed the survival mode. Containment was challenging, and the relic destruction was fun. The only mode I did not like was the one where you have to save artifacts from those thieving ghosts.
Overall, it was fun, and it gives life to the game and increases the replay value. I wasnt going to "keep it now" from Gamefly initially, but after playing online and enjoying it, Im considering dropping the $42 to keep it.
