Ghostbusters: The Video Game

[E vee dub]

This is not a full achievement guide.

But here are a few helpful ideas for some particular achievements that I did some work on for the xbox360achievements.org website.

These, so far, are for the single player campaign only. Other achievements that I haven't mentioned are easily understood or can be found on other achievement websites.


I Feel So Funky 5
Get slimed by a charging ghost.

If you miss this achievement, load up Hotel Sedgewick --> Rodriguez Bar Mitzvah. Walk up to Slimer and tease him with a few proton pack shots so he'll charge and slime you.

Kosher! 10
Remedy a dubious food choice to make the bar mitzvah as orthodox as it can be.

If you miss this achievement, load up Hotel Sedgewick --> Rodriguez Bar Mitzvah. The table on the right has a large, tiered white cake. To left of the cake is the ham to shoot.

I Love You When You Rough-House! 10
The tidy arcitectural office could use some Proton-based humbling.

If you miss this achievement, load up Times Square --> Puffy White Menace. Do not open the door next to Ray, until you think you've destroyed everything. You don't have to fight the Marshmallow minis. Just destroy the room.

But the Kids Love Us! 20
The children's reading room has a story to tell, but it will take more than your eyes to see it.

If you miss this achievement, load up Public Library --> Story Hour.

You Never Studied 10
Keep your ears open to learn everything you can about the Civil War.

If you miss this achievement, load up History Museum --> American History.

I've Quit Better Jobs Than This. 20
Some ghosts had a real blowout in the Coat Room. Clean it up?

If you miss this achievement, load up Return To Hotel Sedgewick --> Splitting Up. Return to the start of the level and find the room.

Hedgebuster 10
The hedge maze is a real eyesore; do some Protonic pruning.

If you miss this achievement, load up Lost Island --> The Hedge Maze.

One down, on the Ground! 20
Airborne coffins are an affront to gravity; use your Proton Pack to avenge Mother Nature!

If you miss this achievement, load up Central Park Cemetery --> Airstrike. Be ready, because there will be a coffin in the air on its way.

[I actually never got slimed playing this game until I purposely returned to the Sedgewick Hotel to go after this achievement. I, also, missed the ham, the drafting room and the children's library. Unfortunately, the main guide (as to date) didn't have what Chapter and Sub-Chapter to load up, so here it is.]
---------------------------------------------------------------
Nice Shootin', Tex! 30
Complete the game with less than $100,000 in property damage.

With two storage devices, a Hard Drive and a Memory Card, you can bypass all of the damage worry for this achievement.
Note: Starting a New Career overwrites any other save, erasing collectibles, upgrades, teammate revives, etc. So play on casual.

1. Start Ghostbusters using the HD as your storage device.
2. Play through the first chapter of training.
3. When Hotel Sedgewick loads, hit Start --> Options --> Settings --> Gameplay --> Select Storage Device.
4. Choose your Memory Card as your new save location and choose "Continue" when prompted to overwrite.
5. Play through the rest of the game with no regards to property damage.
6. When Lost Island loads, hit Start --> Options --> Settings --> Gameplay --> Select Storage Device.
7. Choose your HD from Step 1 and finish the game.

[Someone posted a suggestion for this and I put it to the test and confirmed that it does work.]

Are You A God? 100
Complete the game on 'Professional' difficulty.

ARTIFACTS, SCANS and UPGRADES
Collect all artifacts and scans (again) to quickly purchase all upgrades, which are extremely helpful. You're awarded $1500 for each artifact found.

STONE ANGELS
The stone angels battle is one of the toughest battles on Professional difficulty, unless you follow these directions.

The idea is to wrangle/slam or tether the stone angels into the gate near the Ecto-1 to let it pass through.

Instead, Do not tether or wrangle the angels. Stand next to the gate at all times. The angels will attack you and damage the door in the process. You can tether one if you want, just don't step away from that door. Revive Ray only if he's nearby.

I'm going to work on the multi player achievements now.
If I have anything to add to them, I'll post here.

According to my current research though, there are 2 achievements that are glitched and you cannot unlock them.
