These are the first gameplay videos of the new Ghostrider game.

I'll let the videos speak for themselves:

So, should we call it "Ghostrider may cry" or "Ghostrider of war"?

    Oh hey another shitty licensed game.

    First gen PSP games looked better.

    Spider-Man 2 and The Punisher were licensed games, the second admittedly being based nothing on the movie. They both rocked. Apart from the bike sequence that actually looked like it could be some fun and I enjoyed those special insta-kill moves.

    It actually looks like a work-in-progress mod to me. The "unfinished" feel of it I guess comes from the weak animations. Maybe if the camera work highlighted the player's interactions with the enemies a bit more it could look more exciting.

    It looks like Climax took alot of notes playing Devil May Cry and God of War, which might not be a bad thing.

    The motorcycle sequences look like shit, work in progress or not. They need some fundamental gameplay improvements here.

    Some of these attacks glow way too freakin much. But maybe it's to detract the players attention from the ugly graphics.

    No way I'm sure in the movie when Ghostrider is fighting the enemies he just makes some incomprehendible noises and releases a giant cloud of particle effects and the bad guys die.

    And how come every car/cycle level in games have to have a homing missile thing? I wasn't aware that one of Ghostrider's powers was to shoot 3 homing fireballs at people.

    ok to be fair, even though it's painfully obvious that it's a huge rip off of devil may cry, onimusha and God of War....that at least means the developers played those games and that means they at least enjoy good games. this however, doesn't look like it'll be one.

    This is a licensed use of the God of War engine, right? The map in the first video was almost exactly the same as one in God of War, and the red flame thing blocking his progress is very similar as well.

    Wait... so we're not getting a Ghostwriter game? Damn!

    Seriously, what the hell is wrong with some people? When your motorcycle riding levels in GHOST RIDER feel tacked on, there is something terribly wrong. If anything should feel tacked on, it should be when he's on foot! Though, of course, nothing should feel tacked on. But that is wishful thinking. In the name of all that is reasonable, why would they do this?

    Bleh! Ghost Rider is awesome, and all we get is a horrible movie-based game. Shame on you, game makers. Shame on you.

    If it's any consolation, the movie looks like crap too. Movie studios generally wait till February to release their true stinkers.

    Yeah, that makes me feel better.

    I've only watched the "on foot" video so far and it doesn't look TERRIBLE. I mean, yeah, it looks exactly like God of War. I'm just saying, I've seen worse licensed games.

    Lets see where the motorcycle video brings me.
