With no meaningful play mechanics and no structure beyond the one dictated by the storefront, Ghostbusters is little more than a Pavlovian machine designed to suck money out of your account a few pence at a time. There's a world of difference between a game that uses micro-payments and a micro-payment model that is simply delivered in the guise of a game. If Ghostbusters has any value at all, it's as an illustration of this important point.

Ghostbusters does a good job in recreating the atmosphere of the movie and delivers an immediate and fun experience.

Lacking much of the tone that made the movies great, Ghostbusters is about as fun as being forced to slowly trudge through slime, and being overcharged for the pleasure of doing so at a faster rate.

It's fun, good-natured and interesting, but just below the surface, all it is really interested in is squeezing some begrudgingly offered dollars from your pocket.

Ghostbusters is one of the best freemium games around with some great real time strategy gameplay that is made for everyone to enjoy. Ghostbusters offers so much content to dive into making it a should have.

Ghostbusters is a surprisingly entertaining romp through our childhood, and a great way to pass the time. More so than ever, busting makes us feel good.

The free-to-play design elements may hold some players back from completing the game, but it is clear the developers have a lot of love in their homage to the Ghostbusters films.

We were expecting something different. The thing is we spend too much time doing our maths and little busting ghosts. Its free-to-play model won't allow us to play normally without playing, so keep it in mind.
