Bustin’ Makes Me Feel Good!

3925970007_2e662e7e2a_o.jpg



For the last few days Ghostbusters the video game has been my obsession. I love it! I played thru on professional mode and set out to get as many of the achievements as I could with only one play thru. I was able to get all the career achievements and now I am working on the multiplayer ones. I thought I would compile all the info I learned and used while I played and put it together for those of you who may be interested. So here is my Ghostbusters Achievement Guide. This is a great game. Happy Hunting.

3924480979_9bc878a685_o.jpg Nice Shootin’, Tex! - 30

Complete the game with less than $100,000 in property damage.

Here is how to get this achievement without having to go through the game a second time. Have a completed saved game file on your hard drive. Start a new game on a memory card. Play past the training mission, and save the game as soon as you begin the hotel mission. Then, quit the game. Load the saved game file from the hard drive, and go to the final Boss. Go into the “Options” menu. Go to the “Game Play” setting, and change the “Memory” setting to the memory card. Defeat the Boss to get the achievement.

However if that is not an option for you, I recommend getting this achievement on a 2nd play thru on ‘Casual’ difficulty (as you can let your team do most of the work and will have gotten all your other achievements on your first play thru so you can just concentrate on this task). Before you attempt this achievement you must be prepared to start over if you make a mistake. One false move can compromise this achievement. Keep an eye on your stats to see if you’re under the required amount. The two levels to avoid causing ANY damage are on “Times Square” and “The Museum of History”. If you do make a mistake quickly quit out of the game and resume, check your stats and hope that whatever you just damaged didn’t get recorded. This will unlock once the game has been completed.


3924481199_7198969a3c_o.jpg We Came, We Saw… - 50

Complete the game on ‘Casual’ or ‘Experienced’ difficulty.

This achievement unlocked for me when I completed the game on ‘Professional’ difficulty.


3924481237_0a0b94928b_o.jpg Are You A God? - 100

Complete the game on ‘Professional’ difficulty.

- I recommend staying close to your guys so you can revive each other, because on this difficulty they go down A LOT. (you will have to do most of the work as your guys are useless)
- Vent your pack on a regular basis (tap RB)
- Revive all team-mates as soon as you can, priority.
- Know which weapons do the most damage to the ghost your fighting (scan them and read the stats in the Tobin’s Spirit Guide)


3925267878_183a2d0de9_o.jpg The Destructor - 30

Complete the game with more than $3,000,000 in property damage. This will unlock once the game has been completed.

If you finish the game and have not damaged enough stuff reload the Museum level at the “American History” checkpoint and replay this checkpoint as many times as you need. This exhibit will earn you at least $1 million worth of damage on each run. You must play until the next checkpoint so your data saves. Then reload the final checkpoint of the game (on casual) and as soon as you beat the boss it will unlock.


3924481105_4c9ebb95f7_o.jpg Ghostbusters Drinking Game - 40

Quench your thirst wherever possible to avoid being scared spitless.

There are 8 water fountains located all through the game. You must use every water fountain in the game and progress onto the next checkpoint once you use the fountain so the game saves your progress or else the game will not give you credit for the fountain.

Water Fountains Locations:

Firehouse
- Next to the desk in the main area, by the stairs. (Checkpoint: You’re Hired)

Hotel Sedgewick
- In the main lobby there will be a short hallway on the left wall with two vending machines. It is next to the machines. (Checkpoint: Extended Service Agreement)
- After the hotel fills with water, there will be an elevator room before you enter the restaurant. An elevator will open and drain the water. Opposite the elevators and tucked in a corner is this one. Thanks to DrPoo for the tip! (Checkpoint: Charge of the Light Brigade)

Times Square
- In the laundromat, next to the back exit into the alley. (Checkpoint: Spin Cycle)
- After riding the elevator, it will be just before the small architectural office. (Checkpoint: Race to the Roof)

Library
- Just before the children’s book room, in the hallway. (Checkpoint: Story Hour)

Museum
- After sliming the invisible door, go down the hallway and make a left. It will be next to a collectible. (Checkpoint: The Ossuary)

Return To Sedgewick
- In front of you as you enter the generator room. (Checkpoint: Emergency Generator)

Obtain 100% PKE scans for every paranormal creature.

There are 53 total paranormal ghosts and creatures in the game. Scan every single one you come across. I used this list of the Tobin’s Spirit Guide ghosts to figure out which ones I was missing. After I completed the game I just went back and loaded the check point for the one I missed and the achievement unlocked.

Equip slime (down on D pad and left trigger to shoot a tether) All you have to do for this is slime tether ghosts to the ground or to the wall so that they slam into them. I got mine in the History Museum at the ‘ghost war’ check point. I recommend to shoot the wall first and then a ghost. This should slam the ghost to the wall immediately.
Repeat this 15 times. (you can do it to the same ghost to unlock this achievement)

3924480655_3529b7dee5_o.jpg But the Kids Love Us! - 20

The children’s reading room has a story to tell, but it will take more than your eyes to see it.

I started on one side of the room and scanned all the walls. Inside the reading room is a little side room with a teddy bear sitting on a chair. Enter the room and scan the chair, bear and footprints leading back out into the room. I just scanned every hidden thing in the room: hop scotch, handprints, and teddy bears. Once I did that and left the room the achievement unlocked.

Once you return to Sedgewick after you turn the power back on, return to the Hotel’s entrance (outer lobby area) and look for a door on the left as you exit the lobby doors. Enter the room and equip the slime gun, clean all the black slime off the walls and ceiling. If your achievement does not unlock, take out your PKE scanner and survey the walls to make sure you got it all.
