the Spirit of vengence rides again !!

I loved the ghost rider film. it was well cast and the special effects were fantastic...and it had a well written story.. action packed fun! the first marvel film of the year and its raising hell..(this film is wayy better than daredevil)

fast forward to the ghost rider the game based on the movie..all i can say is..awesome! first, its a original story written by the series writers so you are in for a treat... second the graphics are quality playstation 2 fare..one thing though..why didnt they also release this for the playstation 3 and xbox 360? the action is a intense..a high quality "button masher" and the levels where you drive the hell cycle are incredible..

for you newbies out there, the ghost riders story is basically put , you are hell's bounty hunter out to defeat the demons loose in our world..while fighting to save your beloved roxanne(johnnys long time love) but once you make the pact with the devil your soul is his..and you have to become the spirit of vengence at night dishing out justice...

the game plays like god of war(only without those annoying mini puzzles) if you ever played g.o.w ..you know how to play Ghost rider..so it will feel natural. i dont know why some people are ripping on this game sure they used the GOW engine it makes perfect sense, but its done in the mighty marvel style..and its very entertaining...oh, and the rider looks awesome..the flames and details are done really well.. and the rider has thar same demonic voice.. if you liked the movie..grab this game..i had to go to 3 stores before i finally found a copy...

Ghost rider, has some insane attack moves as well as all his famous weapons from the comics..including the hellfire shotgun(johnny blaze's weapon of choice if you read the comics..you know what im talking about) ..and the famoue CHAINS(love these) add to that you also have the rider's famous penance stare. if you dont know what that is..the penance stare is when ghost rider captures you then looks you dead center in your eyes and enflicts on you all the pain and suffering you have caused people in your life..and you usually go insane after that..but in the game it is also a incredible super combo move.. which is a nice touch...

this game is a great stress reliever after work thats for sure..(i get a kick out of the move where ghost rider yells "come here!" and pulls the demon to him with his chain and does a incredible finishing move)

also you get to unlock lots of hidden goodies such as the comics, making of, and a few surprises..

the movie, is a hit( cant wait for ghost rider 2) the game is top notch, dont listen to those negative reviewers check this out for yourself.. and burn some rubber and kick some demon butt with the spirit of vengence... its a wild ride...

side note, ghost rider was one of marvel's b list characters until the smash hit 1990s series put him back on the map. and he now has a movie.. now marvel is working on a live action Moon Knight television series..and someday hopefully a movie and a stellar game. its a great time to be a marvel fan.. nuff said.

Quick action Game

My 7 year old son loves this game. He saw the movie and thinks the game's special effects are great.
Fast moving action and lots of fighting.
Please make sure that your your child does not play this game for longer than 1 hour per day. The fast moving pace and fighting can become very addictive.

This is an EXTREMELY fun game. The graphics are fantastic, and the variety between attacking on foot and riding the motorcycle is perfect. I think my only complaint is that some of the demons you fight get a bit monotonous after a while, but it is still a lot of fun and much better than a lot of similar games out there. I've heard others complain that this game is too similar to some others but, as I haven't played those others, all I know is that this game is just visually cool and simply a lot of fun to play. Highly recommended.

ghost rider for gba

Ghost Rider for the gameboy advance is an excellent game for the gba.
I think that the graphics for it are the best I have seen for a hand-
held. It is a side-scroller and that is what makes it so much fun.
I really thought that the music was really cool for the game. When
you ride your motorcycle it is 3-d graphics and it is the better
part of the game. The boss battles are just a little to easy while
some levels are difficult. When you have beaten the game, you can
go back and try and get 100% on each level. You can even uprade your
powers. Ghost Rider is a great game for the Gameboy advance with its
extrordinary sound and graphics and replay value which is very high.

Really fun with great extra features.

ghost rider is a spin-off of god of war but is also its own game in its own right. the game has its own story written by authentic marvel-comic writers. the gameplay is also enjoyable. you can execute air attack and swift attack as well as the famous penance-stare. the story takes place after the movie and follows. blackheart is out for hell-on-earth yet again and this time he has his fathers help. its up to you to ride the streets of hell and save mankind from the tortures of hell.

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.
