Confession time: I’ve never seen Ghostbusters. *ducks*

Still, there are a bunch of films that I haven’t seen, but after hearing the innumerable praises of the film, and liking pretty much any other film Bill Murray’s been in, it seems a bit strange that I haven’t yet seen the film. Of course, if the film is anywhere near the level of impressiveness that the intro for the game is (and I’m sure it’s leaps above), then I’ll have to pick the film up pronto.

Above is the opening cinematic for the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game, though I assume the Wii version is similar, with a slight stylistic change. It’s not very long, but it’s done extremely well, even using the old 80s Columbia Pictures logo. Ghostbusters: The Video Game comes out June 16th in North America, June 19th in Europe.
