Summary

Lots of disk switching and hard to play.

The Good

The graphics for Ghostbusters 2 were good for the time, and some of the arcade sequences were fun. Others were downright tedious.

The Bad

Like a lot of games based on movies made in this era, they tried to do too much. Each part of the movie is a completely different game, not nearly fleshed out enough and coming off as half baked.

The Bottom Line

It's a classic late-80's 'movie' game - meaning that each part of the movie is treated with a different game, where you need to relearn skills as the game advances through often tedious parts. Like most games of this type, you'll find parts of it fun, and parts of it annoying. The first one is much better.
