I hope this will be good. The kids like Ghostbusters too, so it could be a good family title.

Honestly? This needs to be good. Given the IP, if it’s a good game, then it has the grounds to be an epic title. This would be the most criminal waste of IP if it wasn’t since… well, what? I don’t know, really. Possibly ever. I’d settle for just a decent game, so I’m not expecting too much, just don’t tie a crap game to the IP, GAIZ!
