Topic: Ghostbuster Wii Edition

[EasyCure]

Bill is both an actor and an artist.   He has never ever wanted to do sequels as they tend to tarnish the original works.  Most often than not, its the other actors talking about his opinion on the matter, rarely himself.   How many sequels does he have in his career where he appeared twice?  Ghostbusters and Garfield.. and those two are linked!   besides that, not a single one.    

I for one admire that, its his choice and he has stuck by it, except for the Ghostbusters, where everyone are friends.   http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000195/  looks like he is signed on for 3 too.  

And if you didnt know, Garfields link is this, When the Real Ghostbusters cartoon came on the air (best ever by the way, love the werewolf / vampire war) The garfield Voice Actor played Peter, then, when Garfield CG came out, Bill did Garfields voice.   Its kind of a circle.   But related none the less!

Wow i never realized that about Bill. That just makes me appreciate him more as an actor. He's one of those rare celebs that, when they pass away, i'll actually be sad. The last one i can remember affecting me like that was Rodney Dangerfield.

Anywho, good impressions. I'll most likely pick this game up tomorrow, even if it is on the short side.

Well since this appears far mroe lively I'll give my quick impressions of the game (I have it on 360). I'm on chapter 6 and the game is fantastic, though I want to preface that by saying it isn't without its flaws. In fact I think most of the reviews have been fair but with that said this is an example of a game that was done with a lot of love. It has so much personality, and the writing is really top notch along with the voice acting, it feels like a true sequel to the movie series. Wrangling ghosts is a blast, and it has some really great cinematic scares and scenes (the staypuff marshmellow man stage is FANTASTIC).

Yeah it may have needed a bit more polish here and there along with it being kind of linear, but it is a gripping experience regardless with some LOL moments. It is what I expected from the game and I could not be happier, the length feels just right for the game (I haven't tried online yet).

I've played a bit with the Wii version, and I agree with your impressions.

Hey now, what does the topic say? "Ghostbuster Wii Edition".

And when you compare a classic like Caddyshack to a clunker like Caddyshack 2 and a moderate action flick like Charlies Angels' to a complete crapfest that is CA2...

Well Bill seems like a pretty smart guy.

Hey now, no one seems to be talking about it there! But to be pro Wii version, if you have a Wii and like the Ghostbuster movies BUY BUY BUY it especially since the story and voice work is all the same. This is a rare game that you really won't run into much, it may have technical problems but has tons of heart not to mention FUN to be had with it. Also I noticed a couple reviewers critisize Bill Murray's performance in the game, while he does sound a bit subdued I think it is far from a "phoned in" performance, in fact that may be how his character is supposed to be now. Also I found the balance fine between blowing up "ghosts" (not even sure they are ghosts more like demons or inanimate objects brought to life), and trapping them, it made those encounters that much more special.

I was watching the video review for IGN, and Greg Miller pointed out the most hilarious thing. This is for the Wii version (apparently ps3/360 version you can't choose?), if you choose the female the lines still use "he"... lol!
