Description

Reflecting the stylized action of the Marvel comic series and Sony Pictures’ upcoming film, Ghost Rider offers a unique combination of high impact combat and motorcycle action. Johnny Blaze is Ghost Rider—destined to haunt America’s highways, visiting his righteous wrath upon the souls of the wicked and the damned. The high-octane storyline takes Ghost Rider to a large variety of scenes and locations while facing off against familiar faces from both the Marvel comic universe and Sony Pictures’ movie.

Features:
  • A top property from Marvel – First released into the spotlight in 1972, Marvel’s Ghost Rider comic series has sold more than 45 million copies to date. A new limited series comic written by Garth Ennis and illustrated by Clayton Crain is due out in September 2005. In addition, a feature length movie from Sony Pictures is due out February 2007 and stars Nicholas Cage as Ghost Rider.
  • Authentic Comic Storyline – Famed comic writers Garth Ennis and Jimmy Palmiotti penned the game’s storyline.
  • Vengeful Combat – Fast paced, combo based combat against multiple enemies using Ghost Rider’s trademark hellfire chain and hellfire shotgun.
  • Adrenaline Fuelled Motorbike Action – Ride the terrifying Hell Cycle, swing your chain at enemies and use the bike’s powers: ride on water, boost over jumps, power down under obstacles, etc.
  • Diverse Scenery – Ride through varied locations from the movie including the Quentin Carnival and Caretaker’s Graveyard, then take a ride down the sky scraper that links Earth to the depths of Hell.
  • Upgrade and Improve –Add upgrades to the Hell Cycle and Hellfire Chain, plus new moves and stat increases using the essence of defeated foes as currency.
  • Penance Stare – Besides possessing superhuman strength, speed and durability, Ghost Rider can force criminals to experience a level of emotional pain equivalent to that which they have caused in others.
  • Go Toe to Toe with Giant Super Villains – Spectacular boss battles with key Ghost Rider villains will test your combat skills to the limit.
  • Loads of Unlockables – Artwork, bonus characters, interviews and more extend replay value and challenge players to dig deep into the experience.

Review by Temo on 9th March, 2007
"So-so"
Ghost Rider was a lot better than I expected. It reminds me a lot of Kratos from God of War, with a few extra bits traded in for a lot less bits.

The motorcycle sequences and ability to Penance Stare or Hellfire Shotgun foes is pretty nifty, and I'd probably have given this game 3 stars... if not for the camera control scheme which after checking the manual had me pressing the relevant button just so I could see one of the bosses in between running about trying not get killed.

If like me you are/were chomping at the bit for God of War II, then this might be a temporary respite of sorts, at least at the price it's going for. (Cheap!)
