Ghostbusters X360
I have just walked into my local games shop and picked a copy of this up 
They have imported a load of NTSC copies, rather then wait for the later official X360 release date
Apparently they have sold loads of them, and have promised me a full refund if the TV is unable to play it properly (should be fine, its a samsung plasma)
i am quite excited now for going home

Me and a mate can not work out how to do the campaign co-op properlly 
we managed to get into a multiplayer game together, but it was like "hoarde" mode and was just waves of ghosts, just popped online to try and search on how to do it!

There are some flaws, including the lack of a local co-op mode, however there is just so much that was done right that you can't help but have a blast. It may not be everything you ever wanted out of a Ghostbusters game, but it's as close as you're going to get to perfection at this point.
from the game revolution review.

Yup, no story co-op mode 
what a clanger! this game is crying out for 4 player co-op story missions!
the co-op mode that is in, seams like an afterthought, its just a simple 4 player "wave" type thing on different maps, to be honest its probably quite good, but the lack of the story mode has narked me a bit
especially when me and my mate were both in the games shop at the same time, and rushed home to play some co-op
as it stands, we are both in party chat, around the same point in the game, playing "make belive co-op" lmfao!

Righty, i now have around 7 hours playtime and have managed to get pretty near the end of the game, i will probably finish it off tomorrow as i have nothing better to do.
Personally i think the game is pretty good, usually when playing a game for nigh on 7 hours straight, you tend to get fed up, but i always wanted to keep on playing, just to see what is coming up
Probably a testemant to how well it has been put together.
It has a few flaws, the game is really crying out for a proper story co-op mode, the x360 version also suffers from some serious slowdown at times, although for some reason i hardly noticed it as a problem, it just feels a bit "bullet time`ish" in the heat of battle.
I have noticed one major bug, in that the story was telling me to split up with the group, iirc i was supposed to go with winston to the elevator, upon walking out from the kitchen, he did not follow me, so i walked back into the kitchen, to see 2 of them standing on a kitchen sink trying to walk through a wall while shooting at something that did not exist
the other character was trying to get on the sink by the looks of it (you can not get on the sink i tried)
I spent around 20 mins running around blasting things, retracing steps, trying to work out how to fix it, before they sudenly snapped out from it, and all ran to the elevator
I was talking to my mate in private chat asking him what i was supposed to be doing and he had no clue, as they all walked to the elevator for him without an issue
I only paid Ł3 for my copy as i traded in 2 other games at the same time
