Subject: Ghostbusters video game

Written By: quirky_cat_girl on 07/06/08 at 10:42 am

The original cast of the movie, Ghostbusters is getting together to create a new video game....all but one cast member. Is it Bill Murray...no, Is it Dan Aykroyd...no....it's none other than Rick Moranis. He supposedly doen't "need" the money. Ok..since when is it all about the money..what about getting back together with old cast members...for old time's sake? ::)

Anyway...the game looks like it will be cool. 8)

Yes, I am really looking forward to this game. It looks really fun, and I have also heard that through the various in-game cutscenes it's basically going to be like a "Ghostbusters III" that we never got to see. 8)

It's great the original cast got back together again, but it is too bad Moranis didn't join them. I have always been a purist when it comes to this sort of thing, so it would have been nice to see him in the fold as  well. :-\\

I love Ghostbusters, and the previews look good, but I'm still a bit skeptical...

Pretty much every game based on a movie sucks (except Star Wars and pretty much any super hero movie...other than Superman 64  8-P) and vice versa. I don't know, there's no doubt it's got potential  8)

I'm also worried the game could end up being bad. I used to fall for the old "game based on a movie" trick all the time, especially when I was a kid (like wasting a whole birthday present on the "Back To The Future" video game  8-P).

Hopefully, since this is based on an old movie and not a current one, they will have alot more time to make a great game since there not on a tight production schedule like alot of movie games tend to be.

It's not like Rick Moranis is a main character.  They could just do a new storyline without the Louis character.  Still though, without him, it wouldn't be the same

Ya..it would have been cool to have Rick Moranis included in the mix. I was reading up on him and discovered that a few years ago he cut a country album...he doesn't have that bad of a voice! Also...I was not aware that his wife passed away of cancer, in the early 90's...how sad. :(

Maybe he just has other priorities...

If the four main Ghostbusters are in it, that's good enough for me :D
