Ghostbusters: The Video Game: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

But the most successful of these games came out in 2009, in celebration of the [[Milestone Celebration|25th Anniversary]] of the original movie. Given a major multi-platform release and significant support from multiple companies, a script written by [[Dan Aykroyd]] and Harold Ramis and featuring the voice talents of the core four Ghostbusters, the game was a strong success and renewed interest in the third movie.

* [[Blessed with Suck]]: Late in the videogame, Ray wonders why Gozer didn't take on a more effective Destructor form than the Staypuft Marshmallow Man again, and thinks that gods are probably limited to one Destructor form per dimension.

** One has to wonder what Vigo's plan was for after he took on the body of an infant.

* [[Body Surf]]: Later on, {{spoiler|it is revealed that the Mayor had this happen to him with Ivo Shandor.}}

* [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick]]: A mild example, Peter has a voice mail that goes, for the most part, like this.

* [[Fat Bastard]]: The Chairman, Chef [[De Forrest]], and the Mr. Creosote lookalike from the firehouse.

* [[Fighting a Shadow]]: the video game battle against Gozer's Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.

* [[Food Porn]]: Slimer has a calendar with pictures of large banquets inside his containment unit (November's is a rather delicious-looking Thanksgiving turkey).

* [[Giant Mook]]: Each level has its own variation, starting with the Kitchen Golem in Sargassi's.

'''Egon''': Stairs, LOTS of stairs... }}

** The Playstation 2 version of the 2009 video game had Nintendo Hardness also -- mostly stemming from the lack of save points. If your game freezes up and glitches, you're forced back to the start of the level you were on once you restart.

** The Atari 2600 game of the first movie was even worse. The jumping Stay-Puff only had one point in his jumping arc where his altitude was greater than the height of a Ghostbuster. That point was the exact width of a Ghostbuster. So you had to figure out that exact point, run to it, and stop exactly on it - with no margin for error - and then continue the rest of the way across the screen once Stay-Puff jumped over you in order to beat the game. And you have to do this twice in order to be able to cross the streams.

* [[No Name Given]]: Your character in the 2009 game is only ever referred to as "Cadet", "Kid", "Hoss", "Tiger", "Sport", "Scooter", "Rookie" or "Rook" for short. Even his nametag says "Rookie".

** In the Stylized version, this is replace with time-delayed slime mines, which do more damage the longer they're charged.

* [[Serial Killer]]: All of the [[Five-Bad Band|Node Guardians]] in the video game were stated to be this during life (except the [[Eldritch Abomination|Juvenile Slor]], of course). After seeing the [[Nightmare Fuel|inside of the Spider Witch's domain]], it's not hard to doubt.

** The Sloth Ghost is a shout out to [[Monty Python]]; more specifically, the "Mr. Creosote" sketch from ''The Meaning Of Life''.

** A crayon drawing in the firehouse gives one to amateur Ghostbusters movies ''Freddy Vs Ghostbusters'' and its sequel ''Return of the Ghostbusters''. You can also see the ending screen of the 8-bit ''Ghostbusters'' game on the computer monitor in the firehouse.
