Retro|Spective 187: Ghosthunter

[Neon Ignition]

History in Games:
2003 - Ghosthunter

Overview:
Another of Sony's early attempts to move into the more cinematic big budget adventure arena, Ghosthunter was the next project from Guerrilla Cambridge (then SCE Cambridge) following Primal. Playing a Detroit detective you inadvertently release the ghosts of past inmates and must capture them to save your kidnapped partner. The game drew attention for its impressive visuals but come release it wasn't met with sales success due to criticisms of the games length and combat.







Did you explore Ghosthunters world? Was it something Sony should return to or was the game bad enough to leave behind?

Never saw this at the time. Guessing at the screenshots, unless these are up-rezzed emulator shots, this is PS3 ?(maybe PS2?)

I’ve never even heard of this. Will have a look on eBay now.

Edit: £4 delivered. I’ll let you know what I think when it turns up.

Yep, PS2. It perhaps says a lot this this was a high budget firts party exclusive and goes so unrememebered. I've only ever played the opening hour or two, it's always been one I intended to go back and retry.
