Okay...I heard about this game with the differneces of the graphics and gameplay. Although I am still deciding if I should get the Wii game or just buy the Xbox 360 one of it. So which one should I get?

I say got for the 360 one because (besides it looking so much better) it plays a lot better overall and it has that great movie feel that the Wii version lacks. Also, the 360 version has that nostalgia vibe & feel to it.

I'm gonna have to agree with Dr.IssacVenkman on this one. If you buy ps3 ... Your problems go away.

But...but...the 360...okay, well, I agree. I had a PS3 and my house got robbed, and they took my PS3 and a load of other sh!t (including, and get this, a sammidge. They made themselves a sammidge!) and now my mate gave me his Xbox 360 coz he's gone to Australia.
It ain't the same. As much as I love the 360, the PS3 has the edge on it in every way.

Let me guess, you've got as PS3 but not the other two? We have all three and my none-biased opinion is that overall the 360 is best. If PS3 didn't have blu-ray player I'd sell the f_cking thing.

Exactly, it seems PS3 owners need to justify their expensive console by slagging of the 360. They're pretty much the same but the 360 is half the price.
Don't agree with you about the Wii though, its great for when you're getting drunk and stoned with friends compared to other games consoles as everyone gets a turn without having to watch other people playing for ages first. Graphics aren't very good though.

I own a PS3 and I wish I bought an XBOX 360. I was put off by the whole 3 red light thing though and decided to give Sony a go.

The system looks and plays great but it has such a lack of games compared to the XBOX. Ninja Gaiden 2 took us a year longer to get and they cut the blood and toned down the violence because the new director felt violence was not the way forwards.

SO WHY MAKE A GAME ABOUT A NINJA KILLING PEOPLE WITH A SWORD?!!?! IS THE CONCEPT NOT VIOLENT ?!!?

and you 360 geeks get LEFT4DEAD2 . The world is cruel and unfair when it comes to gaming consoles but look on the bright side in 50 years we will be able to download the rom files for free no doubt.

The graphics were noticeably worse on the PS3 version which is particularly hilarious considering the fact that Sony owns the rights to "Ghostbusters".

On top of that they had to patch the PS3 version to "fix" the graphics and they still looked crappy compared to the 360 version.

[–] dudda3010 15 years ago

That is right. Im was an owner of the PS3 and I had to buy a 360, because Ghostbusters plays in much higher resolution on it.

Here's a website with a graphics comparison and quotes where Terminal Reality admits that the PS3 version looks worse and explains why.

Case closed.

My uncle has a 360 and PS3, I've played Ghostbusters on both and the graphics look the same. So I don't know what the F*&% you guys are talking about. The graphics look F*&^ING awesome on both.

[–] speccyboy 15 years ago

I've seen both 360 and PS3 versions - I can't see any difference between the graphics. They're both just as good as each other.

Judge the game by the controls and gameplay, not the graphics :)

[–] gdmcnaughton 15 years ago

I've seen gameplay video on YouTube and have spoken to friends who have both consoles or a gaming PC and the PS3. The PS3 version is noticably grainier than both the 360 and PC versions. What makes this really pathetic is the fact that the PS3 games are on Blu-ray Discs as opposed to the standard DVDs used by the other two formats.

Anyway, If you have a good enough PC (that is, a "supercomputer" with a state-of-the-art graphics card), but not an Xbox 360, you'll be just fine, though you will need a Windows-supported gamepad because using the mouse makes aiming the equipment nearly impossible. (Think about how difficult aiming the ranged weapons in the PC versions of Transformers: The Game and the video game for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen while running around is when using only the keyboard and mouse, then multiply that difficulty and the ensuing frustration by ten.)

If you can't use a gamepad to save your life, and don't care about the realism, you should get the Wii or DS version.

Oh, and in case you aren't aware of this, the PC version lacks the multiplayer mode.

I'd go with the DS version since its the only one that lets you play as the GHOSTBUSTERS and be able to drive the ECTO-1

I get so tired of seeing the PS3 fans slagging off the 360. THEY'RE EFFECTIVELY THE SAME *beep* SYSTEM. I've played both systems in high definition and noticed no graphical differences between them. The only REAL advantage the PS3 has over Microsoft's console is the aforementioned Blu-Ray Player.

Now before anyone decides to give me grief, I'm not anti-Sony. I own a PS1 and PS2 (both first-generation models) and a Slimline PSP. My reasons for not owning a PS3 are monetary above all else. I flat-out refuse to pay upwards of $500 Australian for a PS3 console when the 360 basically IS a PS3 that's being sold at half the price.

We all have our problems, some just hide it better.

[–] stimpy25 14 years ago

the game for the PS2 is great i think. i just bought a PS3 the other nite actually & it pretty much seems like it's like a Xbox360 from what i hear. i don't have one of those though. an xbox i mean.

[–] MBalzan 12 years ago

From a completely no-biased opinion of someone who owns both games on both PS3 and 360 it looks best on 360, the PS3 doesn't have the high resolution textures. so it is prettiest.
