Yeah, I hate sidequests. That's why I get a strategy guide. I play through the main parts of the game myself, but for most of the extra stuff... I just don't care enough to rummage through every bit of countryside trying to find glowing bugs. Screw that! Let the book tell me where those are!

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Absolutely unnecessary to end the game, but then again, even though I've finished, I belive I have played 85% of its content...

SPOILERS
Heck, I even beat the final dungeon without going to all rooms... That boss key was too easy to get, and on the boss door, there was this locked room with lots of chests inside, and I had no key left.

I've gotten all of the Golden Bugs but one, and the walkthrough I found on the internet says it's somewhere in the Gerudo Desert by one of the wooden barricades, but I cannot find that damn thing!

I can't figure out how to melt Zora's Domain!

Can anybody give me a vague hint?

Yes! I can! And I'm amazed I was able to figure it out! I was staring at the warp map forever, and then it suddenly hit me!

This is as vague as I can make it. After you defeated one set of Twilit Messengers, a large item fell from the sky.

I so want that Ghostbusters XBOX 360 prototype. I'd kill to hear Venkman shouting "Let's show this prehistoric bitch how we do things DOWNTOWN!!!"

Holy crap. It's like you read my mind. I came to this page directly from the Wikipedia page on that particular game!

Holy shit! An xbox360 Ghostbusters game? And I thought "The Godfather" was an odd franchise to do a game about...!

From the picture I saw on Wikipedia, only Venkman looks recognizable. The rest of them look like SWAT members on steroids!

I'd be willing to bet that since that car is obviously a modern day basterdized Crysler 500, the storyline is fastfowarded some 18 years to now and Venkmen is probably training some modern day Ghostbusters. Bill Murray was probably the only one to sign onto the deal or at least the most willing to provide hours of dialog, whereas the rest (Dan Akroyd, Harold Ramis, etc..) may only have bit parts or wrote out completely. However, since the initial story does belong to Harold Ramis and Dan Akroyd, I don't knwo why they wouldn't be in it for at least a bit part. They may be getting a good chunk of royalties either way. I also viewed the videos on this link and noticed that these new Ghostbusters don't seem to use the Ghost Traps and can "kill" the ghosts with a few moments burst of their proton rifle. this may be interesting to see if these new spins flop or go over better than ever.

This is only a prototype and the gameplay may change. And although the original actors might approve the use of their image and use of the plot and characters, that dosen't mean they should voice it as well - like on "The Real Ghostbusters" cartoon.

I dunno, the actors have all realized that the gaming industry mean easy money for them. I mean they walk into a booth for a couple of weeks and end up a million or so richer. Plus it gives a oppprtunity for them to be introduced into a younger generation sometimes if they need that and expands their fanbase. If I was an actor, I'd damn sure reprise my role in a video game. I mean it is happneing more often, with Star Trek, Sopranos, Godfather, etc. Hell, even Grand Theft Auto has Samuel Jackson, Dennis Hopper, Burt Reynolds, James Woods, Andy Dick, Ray Liotta, Gary Busey, and Peter Fonda.

GTA is the one and only game title that has achieved a cult status that allows celebrities to really give in their voices to it due to the title itself, but to quote Ray Liotta when asked why he did Vice City: "For the money."

Remember how Wing Commander used to feature Mark Hammil and Malcom McDowell? And that back in the early 90s, where videogames were nothing close to Hollywood flicks...

That sounds eerily similar to the late '90s Extreme Ghostbusters cartoon, only that had Egon in the instructor role, which makes more far more sense than Peter doing it. Plus, I've read that the main reason there was never a Ghostbusters III was because Bill Murray had no interest in reprising the character. Also, a few years ago, a company was trying to make a line of Ghostbusters action figures, but Bill Murray wouldn't give his consent to let them use his image, so I'm surprised he would let it be used for this game.

On secnond review of the picture, I have made out that from left to right,
Dr. Raymond Stantz (Dan Aykroyd)
Dr. Peter Venkman (Bill Murray)
Dr. Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis)
Winston Zeddmore (Ernie Hudson)

So I guess it will be the original crew but updated to 2007.

I remember reading an interview with Harold Ramis, in which he described his and Dan Aykroid's draft script for Ghostbusters III as "Ghostbusters Go to Hell", that took place not on Earth but on a bizarre and spooky afterworld, but the reasons for not doing the third film was: 1- They felt they have aged too much to do a Ghostbusters again, 2- Bill Murray expressed no desire in reprising his role, and 3- They were unhappy with the script. Perhaps now that Rocky 6, Indy 4 and Rambo 4 are out or being produced, the studios might want to pick that idea up.

I wish it would be the whole original crew. It would be great to have it just like the films (same guys, same year, same car), that would be every fan boys dream. All these years of longing to go around catching ghost with a photron pack...

Yeah, it should be a game based on the original movie. I mean, back on the NES, there were so many really crappy adaptations of the movies. I'd love to see if anybody could do any better today.

By the way, it's Zeddemore, not Zeddmore.

Ghostbusters for the NES was actually pretty good, and as faithful to the movie as it could be, keeping in mind the technical limitations. Ghostbusters II for the NES was a pile of shit, though.

In unrelated news, I finally earned the third Fused Shadow in Twilight Princess!
