Top 50 Favorites: #26 (Original)

The fact that this even exists is a miracle - the closest we'll ever get to a true Ghostbusters III (especially considering that it was written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, with some scrapped elements from the original third script). I actually find the remastered version to be slightly inferior to the original, ditching the online mode and cinematic loading screens that teach you about new weapons/enemies in favor of generic .jpeg logos in their place. But it's still sensational. All four main actors as well as classic supporting actors from the movies reprise their roles, the combat is righteous and varied, the sense of destruction feels just unreal, the levels are amazing, the weapons are amazing, the enemies are amazing, the atmosphere is amazing, the music is amazing, and it's just loaded up high with detail. Can't gush enough about how great this is. Truly feels like heart, soul, and honest-to-God love for the franchise was poured into this.
