Angry Video Game Nerd Season 2 Episode 4 Ghostbusters: Conclusion

The Angry Video Game Nerd is back for season 2, and in episode 4 he's tackling one of the most iconic movies-turned-video-games of all time: Ghostbusters. In his previous episode, the Nerd took on the NES version of Ghostbusters, but in this episode, he's exploring other iterations of the game and drawing some conclusions about what makes a good adaptation.

As always, the episode starts off with a humorous intro sequence featuring the Nerd, but quickly gets into the meat of the episode. The Nerd starts off by revisiting the original Ghostbusters game on the Atari 2600, diving into the pros and cons of the game and discussing how it holds up today. From there, he moves on to the arcade version of Ghostbusters, which he argues is a better adaptation of the movie than the NES version.

But it's not all smooth sailing for the arcade game--the Nerd has some criticisms about the game's mechanics and how they could be improved. He also talks about the unreleased Ghostbusters 3 game that was in development before the movie was scrapped, and how it might have been the best Ghostbusters game yet.

After covering a variety of Ghostbusters games, the Nerd decides to tackle the question of what makes a good movie-to-video-game adaptation. He compares Ghostbusters to other movie games like Back to the Future and The Terminator, discussing how those games succeeded or failed in adapting their source material.

Overall, Ghostbusters: Conclusion is a thoughtful and entertaining episode of the Angry Video Game Nerd. While the Nerd's trademark humor and profanity are still present, the episode is also a well-researched and informative look at the history of Ghostbusters video games and movie adaptations in general. Whether you're a fan of the Ghostbusters franchise or just enjoy the Nerd's brand of critique and comedy, this episode is a must-watch.
