You travel here, get ambushed, you travel there, get ambushed again. But once you fall into the rhythm, things slow down. They can be fun to fight, they come in different flavors, they each require different strategies to defeat. But after, a few chapters pass and once you fall into the swing of things, you realize…there’s just not much variety here.ĭemons. It’s sinfully sweet, and you will enjoy it, and you’ll dispatch the Devil’s minions with glee and gusto. He even picks them off from afar with fiery blasts of his shotgun, taking the souls of his fallen enemies and using them for ammo. It plays out like some damned beat-em-up Ghost Rider beats demons of every shape and size around with his bony fist, he wraps them up in his flaming chains and slams them to and fro, he unleashes his dreadful Penance Stare and engulfs them in the searing inferno of the pit. I’m not saying Ghost Rider’s time on foot is a total loss - it reminds me a bit too much of Devil May Cry 3, but, given the similar Satanic subject matter, that can’t be helped. Which makes it such a shame that it’s treated it more like a minigame than anything else. You really get the feeling you’re riding this accursed engine, you really see the flames lapping at your wheels as you fly over the chasms of hell, you really hear the screams and howls and wails of the demons chasing after you, and it can really drive you wild. It’s frenetic, kinetic, hectic experience Ghost Rider pulls off daredevil jumps, slides under obstacles, blazes through anything and everything and looks so damn good doing it. And if they’re stupid enough to stand in his way, he just runs them over. They pass him in the front, he blows them away with balls of flame.
They come at him from the side, he whips them away with his chain.
A streak of fire following in his wake, motorcycle roaring, demons swirling about him. You’ve got Ghost Rider, tearing up the road down the highway to hell. When Ghost Rider’s on his motorcycle, the game goes for a Road Rash From Hell approach. That sells itself, and it’s kind of funny, really - the two best things about Ghost Rider are the motorcycle and the guy who rides it.
And I’m passing on the latter, since Ghost Rider rides a motorcycle, has a skull for a head, wears a leather jacket with spikes, is engulfed in unquenchable hellfire, and makes the corrupt relive their sordid crimes - from their victim’s point of view. But I’m passing on the former, because telling it takes too long, and most people don’t care, anyway. Now, this would typically be the part of the review where I go into the history of Ghost Rider and tell you just why he’s so damn awesome. Nicholas Cage doesn’t do voice acting, and the Johnny Blaze that shows here doesn’t look at all like him.
New characters are introduced, old ones are downplayed. Second off: Even if Ghost Rider was as bad as everyone thought it would be, it wouldn’t have much bearing on the game’s worth. I was skeptical, too, especially after Nicholas Cage’s riveting performance in the Wicker Man (“KILLING ME WON’T BRING BACK YOUR GODDAMN HONEY!”) but it’s a fun flick that doesn’t take itself too seriously. That sells itself."įirst off: Ghost Rider was not a bad movie.
