Ah, another game I threw out my window back in the day. I just had the cartridge, no booklet/manual or anything, and I couldn't get past the opening screen (had no idea what to do). "Walked" around until Marshmallow man destroyed all the buildings, then proceeded to throw the game out the window ... like so many others.
I had the C64 version of this game. It's the same idea but a lot of stuff is different - there were no stairs and no boss battle, it's just all about catching ghosts and averting the Marshmallow Man - trying to come out ahead financially by catching ghosts and limiting damage. Then at the end you just have to get past the Marshmallow man to get inside the building, then cross the streams and you're done. None of that nonsense with the stairs and boss battle. I thought it was a lot of fun.
If you guys think tapping the A button for twenty-two floors is bad, you should try playing the game Bigfoot. I am seriously not kidding when I say that HALF of that game is nothing more than mashing your controller endlessly.
Oh yeah, and don't think you can cheat by using a turbo controller. Some of the levels involve mashing the D-pad in various directions. Even if you have turbo, you'll still be killing your controller and your thumbs.
1:36 to 1:40 : It's okay to throw the Belle figure away and the Beauty and the Beast games away (they're awful), but you can't throw away the classic film (sequels not included)!
I don't know how you can play this shit. Ever thought about trying to contact some of the people responsible for these awful games? I'd be very interested to see them try to justify their 'work'
@protoman586 OMG You're right! It's in a different model than the one he's using though. I like how he never says that the guy on the cover looks like Freddy Kruger.
I just played this game. Let me point out a few major things that he left out:
1. When you run out of gas on the road, it just pushes you for a little bit until a gas station appears on the side, it refills your gas, THEN IT BRINGS YOU BACK TO THE MAP. Or whatever it is. WTH!!!
2. The gas tanks on the road rarely appear, they don't give much gas, and there's a glitch where sometimes you pick one up, but it gives you no gas. Also, they appear way too suddenly, you can't react fast enough.
"You have completed a great game."? That's like the credits of a current M. Night movie saying "You've just watched a great movie." A bunch of egotistic dipshits!
The ghost suit or whatever it is that's supposed to protect you doesn't do jack. Everytime I buy it I take just as many hits as when I don't. You save up all that money and it's a complete waste.
At 01:37, that's a toy of Belle from Disney's "Beauty & The Beast", just so you know. Otherwise, an awesome review to a very boring, frustrating, annoying, redundant game that has no mercy. The fact that Activision made money from this game brings alot of shame to any Ghostbusters fan who played this piece of crap....and probably just as much anger to anyone who finished it just to get that extremely crappy endind text.
There's a "trick" to this game. In the stairway stage, there are doors on each floor. You can open those doors by pressing UP. Some doors will have nothing in them. Some doors will have snakes jump at you and knock you down.
The snakes can not kill you. If you've already been knocked down twice, the third hit should mean game over. But if the snake hits you the third time, you now have infinite knockdowns and you can make your way to the top.
@mamagz Him not knowing about the time limit puts this game in a better light, because some places that you can go to leave you with less money than when you start, which would have pissed people off more.
Ironically, you have to pay money when you get run into in the first GB game but in the most recent one for 360, PS3, Wii.....YOU GET PAID TO DESTROY THINGS!
I love how No More Heroes 2 allows you to dress up Travis like the Angry Video Game Nerd. I'm Not Kidding!
And every time I fight a bunch of fucknuts, I always imagined Travis to talk like James when he killed someone. Like when he slams a motherfucker to the ground with a Twisted Belly to Back, 03:25 comes up right before that beam katana falls into the guy's asshole. "Assassination could be right up your alley! More like Up Your Ass!" >w<
I'm playing this game right now and I'm like wondering, when the hell am I gonna be allowed to enter the Zuul building. this whole thing reminds me of Jaws, which James reviewed later. all you do the entire game is kill enemies that are way too easy and build up your power for the one actual boss fight.
