This is probably the least tasteful cartoon style I've seen in a video game, and that's coming from someone who loves cartoon styled games.

I think it's kind of awesome the way they did this. The 360/PS3/PC version is in the style of the movies, and the Wii version is in the style of the most popular animated show based on the movie (The Real Ghostbusters). Anyone born between 1978 and 1984 that watched TV as a kid will probably get a huge rush of nostalgia no matter which version they play.

It's too bad the Wii "controls" will most likely ruin this game.

The cartoon style on the Wii is on par with the old 'THE REAL GHOSTBUSTERS' animated series -

look at 0:57 and compare it to the freeze frame of this trailer.

That music gets me pumped. They could have poorly animated stick figure flash animation in the trailer and I'd still be excited. The voice of Egon is actually Harold Ramis and Peter actually sounded like Bill Murray.

Ghost Busters is my favorite movie. I'm going to buy both these games. I wish GB3 could come out at the theater and be true to the original. I can see Michael Bay directing it and fucking it all up though.
