First of all, let me tell you I love comic books(I'm more of DC fan, though)! This game is okay. It can get extremely repetitive and that is the most major flaw of this game. Another flaw would be the difficulty. It's waaay too easy! I have beaten this game twice already (and I did it in one weekend)! The graphics are okay and the voice acting is pretty cheesy. The best thing about the game are the extras. You have a bunch of comic books in the game and you have a lot of sweet costumes (and characters) to play as. Sadly, there really is no need to play with these costumes or characters because the story mode is pretty pointless. The final negative thing is there is no level select!!!! It drives me crazy how a game that is not open-world (oh by the way, this game should've been open world.. think about it) cannot have a level select. There is no excuse. Other than the things I mentioned, this game is okay. Acceptable, as the title says.

Vengeance Flows Through Me!

Normally, games based on movies tend to be a bit lacking, but Marvel does tend to do a decent job with their's (The first "Hulk" being the exception there). Ghost Rider falls into that niche of being decent, and maybe even a bit of a fun game.

The game starts off after the movie, with Johnny using his powers for good, and refusing to be Mephistopheles' little errand boy. But the Rider is dragged into Hell, and is told that he's the only one that could prevent Armageddon and send an army of rogue demons back to Hell. Once his girlfriend, Roxanne, is threatened, Ghost Rider reluctantly hunts down the demons and prevent the end of everything.

The game borrows a lot of elements from games like God of War and Devil May Cry. Tends to remind me of Evil Dead: Regeneration, also. Once you get all the moves unlocked, the fighting becomes the highlight of the game. The combos can be easily triggered, and it's fun to see Ghost Rider use the variety of finishing moves for the elemental demons, and using his signature weapons and abilities (His chains, the Hellfire Shotgun, and the Penance Stare). And the Boss battles, I thought, were very challenging (for some reason, I really enjoyed fighting against Scarecrow). Plus, one of the unlockables has you playing the entire game as Blade. That's so damn cool!

The game does fall short in a few areas, too. The motorcycle stages can be a lot of fun, but at times hard to control. And another thing. The game... can be finished in 3 and half hours. I bought the game last night and started playing it this afternoon and I finished a half hour ago. Sure, there are additional characters (Blade, Vengeance, Ghost Rider 2099), but I don't know if that would make the game have that much higher a replay value. And the game's cinematics were basically comic frames, no CGI movies.

One thing annoyed me little, one of the unlockables had pics from the movie, but one guy was absent. No pics of Nicolas Cage as Johnny Blaze, and none of Ghost Rider. Why? I mean, he is the star of the movie, right?

Overall, I'd say the game makes a terrific rental, but only hard core fans of the comic, movie, and maybe just Marvel alltogether should buy it. The game is fun, even if it felt a bit rushed.

VENGEANCE RIDES FREE!

This game is a must buy if you are an old fan of ol' Flamehead. Plays similarly to God of War. THe riding sequences are fun and intense and there are plenty of old villians from the series that will leave you with a sense of nostalgia.
MUCH better than I was expecting.

Surprisingly Good

This game is surprisingly good. The controls are very similar to "God Of War" and are easy to learn. Some levels are combat-driven and others are manuevering around on your bike. The game is definitely a button-masher as there is no puzzle solving whatsoever but it moves along at a good pace and the combo moves are easy to learn. Leveling up is easy (and again very similar to "God Of War") as you collect souls to purchase items as you go. The plot of the game is a bit thin and probably only fans of the comic series will really know what is going on but the game is less about plot and more about action. The look of the game is less than stellar though, while the main character looks good as do most of the backgrounds, many of the enemies are very generic and you'll see the same ones repeatedly. The fixed camera angle can prove problematic at times and if there are multiple characters on screen simultaneously, there can be a few pixelation issues. Overall though, the game is fast paced and addictive. If you are a fan of this type of game you're likely to enjoy it.

Good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we purchased this for our grandson because 1. he loved the movie 2. flaming skulls,zombies and motorcycles are a huge interest for this 9 year old. his 6 year old brother has done well on most of the levels but it is not designed for his age group because a more advanced skill in reading is required to advance in the game. but they both say it is one of their favorite games so far.

Fun but gets boring after awhile!

This game is combination of "God of War" and "Devil May Cry." You don't have to solve puzzle but you do need to jump at certain distance to go to next level. Graphic is gorgeous and game is fast paced. You don't need to pick up ammo or any other stuff other than stand close to barrel of fire to fill up your health. You can easily finish the game without cheat as long as you keep pressing square and up repeatedly unless you're on your bike.

enjoyed kicking butt as the rider

I had bought the game because I am a lifetime Ghost Rider fan, Having read the books since they started in the seventies. Previews from hardcore gamers had left me hoping it was not a dud. I have had a blast. all kinds of moves to upgrade to and you get to ride the hellcycle. My son and I have really enjoyed it so far.

This is a good superhero game. But you it steals some things from God of War. Like the combos and stuff. When your on foot it can get boring after a little while but it still is fun. The best part of the game is the motorcycle levels. Its fast pace and its pure awesome!!!! You can unlock lots of stuff! The down side about the game is its tooo short!!!! But its still a good game to rent.

Fast Paced Fun

I grew up reading comics and Ghost Rider was one of my favorites. I enjoyed the movie so when I noticed the game I had to buy it.

Pros: It has good graphics and a great sound track (turn up the bass boost on your sub-woofer) and is fast paced.

Cons: There is not much variance between levels and seems too short.
