I had my doubts about this game to begin with, thinking that it was just another Ghostbusters rip off. I was wrong. This game is more like Monster Squad, only with more monsters, and its not as crappy.

Graphics: 9
The graphics are some of the best I've seen on a SNES platform. My only annoiance is when you get your guy behind a wall and you can't see yourself getting hit. The cool thing about the graphics, is that some of the monsters look just like other usual objects on the screen, meaning that it comes as a suprise when they attack you (like the trees in the first level).

Sound: 10
Strangly, the sound didn't annoy me, very impressive.

Gameplay: 6
The gameplay can get pretty boring after awhile, by doing the same thing over and over again, fighting the same monsters over and over... and over again. Your weapons are pretty cool though, from ray guns to homing orbs. You can even drink a potion to turn yourself into a ghoul and destroy monsters without getting hit (which seems worthless, since they mulitiply worse than rabbits).

Overall: 8
Its a pretty cool game overall. Its just repeatitive... like Jay Leno's jokes. But if your bored (or angry at the world), shoot anything you want until it desolves.

It's a good game, but I don't think it's ever going to be anybody's favorite. After a while of shooting the same crap over and over, you'll load another game.
