Ghostbusters is a good game. It has a few critical flaws that hold it back from being great. They really need to improve the WCWS mode, balance scoring a bit more, and do a lot of bug cleanup work. It has more pros than cons, however.

Pros:

- Good layout. Non-standard, but not totally oddball either. Shots are really satisfying, especially the ramps.
- Gorgeous artwork, fantastic light show.
- Some of the best sound work ever on a Stern machine, possibly the best.
- Great theme.
- Challenging rule set, but can be thrilling when you're dialed into your shots well.

Cons:

- Bugs. Bugs, bugs, bugs.
- Score is imbalanced and needs tweaking.
- The ball hops a lot on this game and you really need to get some additional mods to settle it down (most notably the airball protector for the left ramp stand ups).

I still think it's one of the better Stern games released, but it's full of untapped potential. They REALLY need to get that final update done on the code.

The video mode imbalance is frustrating. If someone can plunge to the skill shot to start video mode and you can't, well, you're screwed.
