I'm putting my cards on the table now to say that, despite my love of the franchise and my faith that Aykroyd and Ramis can create a good script, I think there's a high probability that the game will be crap. I hope I'm wrong, but it'll be bucking the trend of primary console developed titles if it does.
Oh, something good has come of all this. The third film seems to be becoming more of a reality, and I'm convinced that it's in no small part because of the love shown for the franchise upon the announcement of this game. Ghostbusters 3? You can keep your game, I want the film, and with Rick Moranis and Sigourney Weaver not likely to be involved they can make it better than GB2, with less pointless back references.

I seem to have a complex when it comes to paying £40 for a game.
That's because it's too much for any game in my opinion and especially for an apparently mediocre game with a few fun bits. I guess play/game/amazon are the best chances for any discount.
The game isn't perfect, but I've not seen any bugs, despite being a console port the controls are all fine, AI is surprisingly good too.
The story (as far as I've got) uses ghosts from both movies and seems to be pretty decent, it's keeping me interested, and isn't painful, which is surprising, given what the game is.
The story is the one thing I did expect to be good. It was written years ago by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis for a third movie, but has been made into a game since it looked unlikely to ever be made. It probably hasn't had a movie publisher tinkering with it like GB2, and the writers worked closely with the devs. Ironically, it looks like the film might be made now, which I can only assume must be at least in some part due to the anticipation for the game.
