Can confirm its region free, was playing a small bit over the weekend, seems very good so far.

So which site it the best/Cheapest place to get the region free version from.

DARK-KNIGHT

WTF region free where can i get it DROOOOOL! lol

Star Lord

Yup region free!!!

Dunno about cheapest, I ordered mine from videogamesplus.ca



Hate to admit it, but makes me that little happier beating Sony at their exclusivity deal, particularly when the 360 version looks so much better

Star Lord

Just finished the second level, back at the firestation and...

Talking to Vigo, he predicts that they will choose a king much worse than him to rule them... twice!
Now who could he be referring to...

:pac:

@Damo: Would you put this in the "its worth a buy" or "rent it for 2 days and you've seen it all" category?

I just got prototype and my funds are limited, reading review for GB and it seems to be "good but flawed". It was a very important part of my childhood though, stupid nostalgia is affecting my rational decision making!

Looks like a good deal and free delivery worldwide.

Play-Asia is selling the region free version too, but unfortunately it's now on back order. US version @ €47.01 (+ ~ €3 shipping):

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-dh-49-en-15-%22Ghostbusters%3A+The+Video+Game%22-70-2hlj.html

The Asian version is cheaper (always in English anyway) but oddly enough they haven't confirmed that it is also region free (which I would assume it is):

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-dw-77-1-49-en-15-%22Ghostbusters%3A+The+Video+Game%22-70-3cs4.html

Play-Asia is pretty solid as a retailer but shipping times can be a couple of weeks (or even more in some cases...). Still better than waiting for months for it to release over here though...

I might be talking partially through nostalgia myself, but so far I think the game is excellent! I think being a ghostbusters fan might force the rose tinted glasses on, but I'm seriously getting the whole "Bustin' makes me feel good!" vibe from it :pac:

Don't think it's too spoilery to say this but I'm gonna spoiler tag it just in case, but one little inconsistency from the movies to the game, is

the painting of Vigo the Carpathian is in the firestation, and you can listen to it say different things... although it was destroyed/changed at the end of Ghostbusters 2...

If you watched the movies as a kid and thought "I wanna be a ghostbuster!" (or as a big kid! ) then you'll more than likely really enjoy the game imho

Just finished the first two levels and played a campaign online. Good fun so far. Trapping is tricking but once you get used to it, it's perfect. Started on Professional, and it's challenging enough!

Wait, what....I'm confused. I thought this was being released in October?When was the US release date (now?) and when is the UK + Ireland release (October?)????

EDIT: Sony, bandits, EU exclusive PS3.

Have most of you ordered it from videogamesplus.ca?

Star Lord

The achievement names for this are the first I can remember that made me laugh

US release date was the 16th.
Here it'll be October or November...

I can't speak for the others, but I ordered it from videogamesplus.ca this day last week, and it was sitting waiting for me when I got home yesterday.

Mr E

October 30th here.

chrislad

Was released in the US on Tuesday. My parents came back from the States today so they got me a copy over there. It's region free so any US copy bought online or on land will work fine over here.

The PS3 Europe exclusivity has to be the stupidest thing ever in this case... Why the **** would anyone who's really interested in the game wait until then?! :eek:

Anyway, got my copy from Play-Asia delivered so I'm happy... Only played the training part/hotel so far but I'm not too sure about the game overall yet. It just feels a bit slow - I guess I'm too used to shooting/killing stuff in games and this is kinda different. It does have the movie vibe down though .

faceman

Out of curiousity has anyone come across an Irish retailer selling it? heard a rumour about Harvey Normans

chrislad

I doubt it. There's no distribution of it in this continent, so it would have to be imported. You might see it in independent game shops, of which there are few, but major international companies like Harvey Norman, GAME, HMV etc? Doubtful.

it might be possible that Harvey Normans because they are Australian

Star Lord

Still doubtful, Australia is still PAL territory, and Sony have paid for PAL exclusivity...

Carroller

AFAIK its only north american region that is region free

Just finished this last night. Enjoyed most of it, there were a few ba$tard hard difficulty jumps, where they bombard you with cheap-shot dive-bombing enemies that come from all round, but after a bit of swearing and frustration and multiple tries at that part, the enjoyment came back. Thoroughly enjoyable for Ghostbusters fans, but not sure there'd be an awful lot of interest there for general gamers that aren't Ghostbusters fans.

But who isn't a Ghostbusters far?

The bloody kitchen in Return to Sedgewick?

Star Lord

Oh no, that's a cakewalk compared to the bit I mean.
Imagine crossing the stone gargoyles with the mini-puft creature swarm...
