I didn't see the system requirements on the Amazon page for the PC version, but I would've bought the title anyways to try. <br /> <br />Though the game does run, in-game movement was like a slide-show and I couldn't advance far enough to bust a single ghost. If your video card has less than 512 megs of RAM on board? Don't bother buying this game. If you have less than 2 gigs of system memory? Don't buy the game. <br /> <br />Also keep in mind that the PC version does not include multiplayer. It was stripped out. Additionally, Amazon doesn't offer their special edition of the game for the PC. <br /> <br />I also had a problem with the installer. If you intend to install the game on a drive other than c: and are having problems, consult the forums here.

Oddone Thu, 08 Oct 2009 05:12:10 +0000 http://byte-o-rama.com/2009/10/ghostbusters-the-video-game/#comment-4314 I just rented ghostbusters for 360 and am stunned with the deceiving 1-4 player icon on the back. I wanted to get drunk with my buddies have some fun being a ghostbuster we were practically calling out our picks with a coin toss for Egon (being the least popular). Fun night spoiled. I Should of bought me a wii because that's the only console were you can play multi-player splt-screen. I guess if your a loner ghostbuster fan this game ain't too bad but its far from being a classic instead its more like a dim plaintive memory.

And here are their gripes about the game: <br /> <br />1. Single Player. I couldn't tell on pre-order whether this was 1 player or more, but since there are 4 ghostbusters we presumed it would be a multi-player game (a la "i get to be Egon" "i get to be Ray"...). But alas, the kids all get to watch one person play the game. BOOOOOO! <br /> <br />2. My kids are bummed that you can't save the game. Every time they start, it's a new game. I read on the reviews that there are checkpoints that automatically save the game...I'm sure the kids will eventually figure it out, but why wouldn't they just allow you to save the game at the point you're at? <br /> <br />Those 2 things made me bring down the rating to 2 stars. The graphics, voices, quips, etc. are all entertaining...but this is a "could have been great" video game that's just ok.
