The biggest letdown is Ghostbusters? You have got to be kidding me, Gordon. I think you purposely did this just to piss me off.

I really was disappointed with the game. It was poorly done, poorly put together.

Come on. When you compare it to other movie games that came out this year, it stands out as a masterpiece. Whenever I see a game based on a movie, I always think "Well, that's going to suck." It didn't suck! The only thing to really complain about is the overall length and some of the lip sync in the game.

sounds like he had higher expectations of the game then you did.

[Shorty]

When I review games I don't compare them to other games and see how it stands side-by-side. I review them based on what was placed on the disc. It was not as good as I would have hoped/wanted.

There was a lot more gripes I had than just the lip-sync.

[LaughingTarget]

While I did enjoy Ghostbusters, I have to agree with it being a letdown. It was 5 flipping hours! That's it.

Where can I buy the double sided batman arkham asylum poster? One with joker on one side and batman on the other. What store sells it?

[PatrickB]

i still agree with all of this..
