Why the Wii version of the Ghostbusters game will be the best.
Kyousuke Nanbu | 5:34 PM on 06.15.2009 27 comments


Ghostbusters the video game, didn't seem feasible so many years ago, I'm sure of you remember the tech demo Zootfly made about it, rumors swirled and everyone was psyched but then it was no more.

Shit happened and now its a reality, Ghostbusters The Video Game comes out tomorrow and I for one am pretty psyched. I also feel pretty damn old as I remembering seeing the sequel when it came out on VHS and going in the Universal studios in 1993...

But enough about that, I'm rambling, let's get the blog's subject matter which is why the Wii version will be the best.



First off we got the art style, rather than half-ass high def graphics they went with a unique style which is very reminiscent of the old the real Ghostbusters cartoon, every is stylized and cartoony and gives the Wii version a very unique look.



Now we move on to the controls, every report from people that have early copies of the game state how well the controls are integrated, you use the Wiimote to aim and the nunchuk to move around, whenever you weaken a ghost you have to slam them against stuff via shaking the Wiimote in the direction an arrow prompt appears, all in all, very simplistic and intuitive, there is also one very important thing that can only be done with the Wii version but that deserves its own section which I shall cover later.



Sorry about the IGN logo, I can't find a better image.

A LADY BUSTER, score one for gender equality as the Wii version is the ONLY version that lets you use either a male or a female, more importantly this image also conveys the story mode co-op which again is exclusive to the Wii and its splitscreen, we lack the robust multiplayer options of the PS3 and 360 versions but I can live with that in exchange for busting with my brother or friends.



You can throw the trap in the Wii version.

No more needs to be said on this.

So there you have it, inarguable. proof as to why the Wii version will be the best.

In conclusion I leave you with this.

You don't really make many blog posts, or maybe I don't pay much attention, sorry.

But I do like the fact that the Wii version is trying not to be all "but I can be a big kid too! >:(" about its graphics. I'm no graphics whore, but I like the differentiation we have working here.

Can't wait to eventually rent this. And add another game to my backlog.

I'm going for the Wii version just because the "realistic" graphics of the Ps3/360 versions look freaking disgusting.

All your reasons are good too, though.
Magnalon's Destructoid Blog
360 + PS3 version with online play vs. Wii version with split screen MP? I'd contend the PS360 versions will last longer in the tray.

I prefer the PS360 version's art style, you prefer the Wii old cartoon look.

Some say the aiming system is worse than RE4 Wii, some say it's better. I suppose we'll have to try it out.

The reviews are about the same for every console version - 8s-8.5s. Truth be told I think they will all be the same experience. I have no idea what to think about this game. Hardcore Ghostbusters fans (myself to some degree) will eat it up, but every review I've read so far says it's one of the shortest games on the market, and is a bit shallow to boot, so it's hard for me to justify the price.

Also, you could have added another point: the Wii version is $50 ;D

Yeah, because the Wii's version with the characters giant shitty cartoony look is SOOOOOOOOOO much better, haha

I'll go for the Wii , for the simple fact that the only place that rents games here only rents Wii games, but if I could rent both versions , I'd went with both ; more developers need to make whole different games for the Wii , instead of a port of the PS2 version (wich is equal to the others , but uglyer) ...

@Magnalon

Wii version is $40 dollars actually.

@ Hamza- I happen to love shitty cartoons.

I like the new occasional Wii love from you. :D
CelicaCrazed's Destructoid Blog
Hmmm I may just have to buy both versions.
Artemus's Destructoid Blog
PS3. A done deal.
I think the visuals look great.
The best I've seen? No, not really.
But, they're good enough for me.
Although, I do want to try the Wii version, soon after.
GameFly will help me with that one.
Magnalon's Destructoid Blog
@Pedro
You can blame it on Punchout!! His sole reason for buying it was that, and now he's gone Wii bananas! ;D

All I'm saying is I want my Stay-Puft Marshmallow man in hi def. I don't care about the actor likenesses, or the level texturing, or the particle effects.

I want to see the hatred in Stay-Puft's glassy pupils in the highest resolution possible.
Matthew Razak's Destructoid Blog
From what I played both versions had their plusses. I'm just happy the Wii version doesn't seem to be shoveled crap. Not sure which way to swing though. Maybe I'll go with whichever review copy Atari deems me worthy of.
ChronosWing's Destructoid Blog
Eh out of the 3 I went for PS3, mostly because they built the game engine on PS3 and ported it to the other systems. I basically went for the version that would have the least amount of bugs.
IronPikeman's Destructoid Blog
Shouldn't we be mean to him since he's always a prick to us, in our blogs?

Justice's Destructoid Blog
Nice points Nanbu, I'm gonna test it out to see what I think.
Mr Gilder's Destructoid Blog
I'm not sure I'm willing to state that it's the best version, necessarily, but I'm standing behind Razak. It's just delightful that the Wii version is a fouled up port, or shovelware crap. It's a good game, with its own merits, designed to really use the Wii well. More studios could really learn from this.
Also, I prefer the cartoon style too.
FlikNightshade's Destructoid Blog
I personally consider the two versions to be separate games. The Wii version took what could of been a burden and turned it into a benefit. Although from what I can tell the Wii version has basically the same story as the other versions, the art and game play differences are enough to warrant a second purchase. I already preordered / picked up my 360 copy, but I'll be grabbing the Wii copy very shortly.
Mr Dillinger's Destructoid Blog
you're a fat troll.

So your opinion doesn't matter.

That is all.
Kyousuke Nanbu's Destructoid Blog
I posted this on the 15th, its currently the 27th, took you 12 days to come up with an insult, hahaha, man there's slow and then there's S-L-O-W, did you have help coming up with such a DEVASTATING INSULT, I mean fat troll, OUCH, that hurts kid.

Bet you'll be a bad-ass tomorrow at the playground when you tell all your buddies how you called that internet guy a "fat troll"

Judging by your response in the other blog about the dude joining army you just seem like a complete fucking idiot so I guess I shouldn't be that shocked it took you so long to troll my blog

What's the matter? Still butthurt over my comment in your shitty DRUNKblog? Its just good advice, if you're gonna pretend to be drunk, put some effort into it, mispell more words, don't have damn near perfect grammar and then veer off to poorly spelled words, just make you seems like you're doing it for attention(which you probably where).

Oh and nice profile, I especially like your photos, what do you call that montage? The hall of douchebag?
Kyousuke Nanbu's Destructoid Blog
Oh and any person who writes a "drunk" blog, has 0 credibility and no leg to stand in regards to calling anyone a troll or telling them their opinion doesn't matter.

But seriously dude, what's up with those pictures? I can't stop looking at them, I mean I see the first and think to myself "there's no way this dude can look like a bigger shithead" but then I keep scrolling down and HOLY SHIT, how DID you capture such amazing displays of douchebaggery on film like that?
