Is there any need for people to keep adding on this article about how the makers of this game prefer the PS3 to the Xbox 360 ? It seems totally pointless to me and has no bearing on this game whatsoever. It only makes the recipe for people to vandalise this section with console fanboys coming on here all the time. So I took it upon myself to delete the section as it seems totally irrelevant.
Is there a citation for: "Each set of versions will have its differences; PS3, Xbox 360 and PC will feature realistic graphics and more of a single-player experience; Wii, PS2 and possibly DS will instead feature cartoon-style graphics and will be more oriented towards multiplayer." The PS3/Xbox/PC being more focused on single player and the PS2/Wii/DS being more on multiplayer seems backwards.

In the intro, it states that Walter Peck's original actor will return to provide his voice, yet in a movie included on the PS3 version, it has a brief clip with Willem Dafoe and lists him as Walter Peck. Meanwhile, the model actually looks like the original 1980's Walter Peck. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.233.240.245 ( talk) 06:25, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
No actually. I own the PS3 game and have just started watching a bonus video and it's clearly William Atherton in the video, even with his name and even with Harold Ramis namechecking him as returned to play Walter Peck. 86.27.61.246 ( talk) 17:00, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
Nevermind, I just rewatched it. He does resemble Willem DaFoe quite a bit though and he's in for just a very small second or two so the W name (when heavily tired) could throw someone off. Honest mistake. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.235.245.6 ( talk) 08:51, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
I trimmed the gameplay section again. It covers the same details, but I just took out some of the unnecessary words and details that belong on a gaming/Ghostbusters wiki. -- Jtalledo (talk) 22:07, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
Here's my 3rd opinion on the matter. The key thing is verifability. Everything needs to be backed by a source, and especially if you have no choice but to use a primary source like the manual or the game itself, you cannot use primary sources to make inferences on the gameplay or inferences on what the movie is trying to say (see no original research). Keep the Gameplay section as narrowly-focused on the gameplay itself as you can, and use secondary sources to back any references made to the movie. The same applies with the Plot section which needs to also be sourced and can probably be cut down using summary style. In a nutshell, stick with what is in the sources, and don't make any claims past those sources. Hope this helps for both of you. MuZemike 23:30, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Two major things stand out immediately. The need to use the video game review template, and the lack of pictures in the article. Those will definitely keep you from B-Class. More assessments later... -- Teancum ( talk) 18:12, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
Hoss is not the player character's real name. It's just an ironic nickname given to a new guy like "Slick" or "Kid." See http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/hoss for definitions. Doesn't anyone remember Bonanza? -- Jtalledo (talk) 19:18, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
Since the character the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man is mentioned in this article and is a continuing character in this series I want to invite anyone interested in the discussion Talk:Ghostbusters_(franchise)#Merge_discussion.2C_Redux where we are discussing whether he should have an article about only him or if all the content about him should be moved to Ghostbusters_(franchise). It would need to be rewritten and additional references would be useful, I've suggested some maybe you can contribute to the discussion and read the article and the other peoples thoughts on the subject.

The page indicates that it's distributed through Steam, but I can no longer find it on the UK Steam store (although I bought it from there in the first place). I don't really want to change this, since I don't know whether it's been completely removed from the store, or if it's just a UK thing, or if it's only temporarily unavailable, or what. Can anyone shed any light on this? -- Thegooseking ( talk) 23:41, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
