This game is amazing. That's all I can say. The idea behind it is brillant and very enjoyable. With various ways to approach each scenario, it has unlimited replay value. I highly recommend you buy it.
Sadly, I've found this game hard to find in stores so far, so this might be your best bet to find it.
Great!

Ghost Master is one of my favorite games. It gets hard as the levels get more towards the end of the game though, but it's still very fun. My favorite haunt is when you bind that feather chicken thing to a kid and make them do 'seep blood'.
Buggy game

Update, game plays after updating my virtual drive software. What a pain to get fixed. I stand by my initial review below but change the rating because the game is fun to play, once I managed to get it playing!
I would really like to say something nice about this game but it will not play on my machine. Upgrade you say, well a pentium 3 2.5 gig pc with a AMD 9800 video card and half a gig of ram should play just about anything. Honestly, this is the only game I have had problems with. I should point out that this is the US retail version of the game. There are no patches available for the U.S. version, only the European versions. I have contacted tech support but received little help. What I am guessing is that my "virtual drives" that I use to load up images of perfectly legal and owned on-line games, such as Medal of Honor and Battlefield 1942, is somehow making the game executable think that a copy is involved. Well, if the software designers are going to make a game not play because of previously loaded software, than that should be stated right on the box - so one can make a decision before shelling out $40 to buy a game. Anyway, I can not rate this game as anything but unacceptable because of the obvious copy protection bugs that make it so that Ghost Master is unplayable on my system.
Frustrates Me!!!!!

I got this game the first day it came out. By the third day I was on the second level. I was so excited because I had one more mission untill the third level. Well they don't explain in the directions how to save, so I came backk and by accident pressed new game. Therer was no way out so I exit out of the game and pressed resume game. My game was deleted. I warn you before you buy it is a fun game but not fun enough to start over. Listen to me and just play the demo.
Too many bugs, glitches, unplayable

I installed the American Version for this game and had nothing but problems. The game would crash repeatedly. It was not my comupter or graphics card(ATI Radeon9800 Pro. It fact my system exceeded the requirements in everyway. There is practicly no technical support for this game so if you have a problem your out of luck. The game just does not work.
great fun

but my computer just didn't like it. Being a fan of The Sims, to control ghosts and scare people sounded great. Excited, I loaded it and it just went down-hill from there. The sound was fine, it was the video that was terrible. Instead of movies for the intro, I got random pictures of the video. When playing, the animation was choppy. Playing it was worse, the controls were delayed and frustrating. I didn't get it from Amazon.com, and I wish I did since I had one hard time trying to return it. Eventually, one of the techs loaded it on their computer and was experiancing the same thing. Again, the idea of the game was great, I just wish they would have spent more time on it before releasing it.
This US version was rushed too fast onto the market.

This game would be great if they ever work out a US patch. Ive been to ghostmaster.net(fan site), and the forum is full of people talking about how horribly bugged it is. Customer support is just a couple cookie cutter replies. This is the worst 30$ i ever spent. Shouldnt waste your money on a CHANCE your computer MIGHT run it. They must be aware of the problems too. Why else offer a "free video" AND a 10$ rebate really soon after it hits the streets. Hope they come out with a US patch. They sure aren't saying.....
buy now!!!!!

this is a great game! must buy! I had no problems with it! its kind of like sims exept you have exept you're controlling the ghosts. I like scaring the mortals... makes me feel so evil! wha ha ha ha! the game may not be good with children under 7. theres a ghost who splits his head in two. a dead chicken ghost can flood the room with blood.. kind of gross. there is a little problem with a certain level where, even when i scared away all the mortals, but i could not complete the level. (iv'e done it now). but anyway i want to recomend this game to ANYONE... well over 6 years. If you hate sims thats very sad.... but im sure you'll like this game!
