Yeah i could see Ghost Rider getting a new game in an open world game inspired by those legendary Spider-Man games and such, the idea of calling in the bike as a means of traversal either on the ground, walls, etc to using it in combat, basically kinda like what Batman Arkham Knight did with the Batmobile but with way more options to get around and speed, also of course the combat to be Devil May Cry like with some God of War in there as well, like the last game and only officially released game released at this time.
I used to work at a used game/dvd store in Houston and one of my coworkers got a knife pulled on them and the only thing the robber stole was this game. I know it's hard to believe but it's very true. Luckily my friend was ok and the suspect was caught pretty quickly.
One thing you missed is how with each different skin for Ghost Rider, his bike changes to fit said skin. Classic Ghost Rider's bike has a retro look, 2099's bike look similar to the one from the comics as much as possible, Vengeance's bike looks more demonic. Blade's bike is just normal.
Man, the Ghost RIder game wss rad as hell, and had to reason to be, but it tried, and I give it that. The fact that they got Blade in here, and he plays decently is a testament to their effort, but Fred Tatasciore voicing him certainly was... a choice. Speaking of the cast, Liam O'brien did a pretty good Cage impression, plus getting Steve Blum, Robin Atkin Downes, Kirk Thornton, Lex Lang and Dave Wittenberg, who all voiced major edgelords at the time, to be in a full cast of them was a pretty good choice. Knowing the market now, another solo title isn't happening, but a Midnight Sons team, with GR as a lead, that we can hope.
@@deadlyninja112 it did! Albeit the first game I played in the DMC series was 4 which was great! I went back to the trilogy before 5 came out too which was cool!
"Devil Will Cry When they Ride the Ghost of War" Hey, it's not everyday a game developer copies the best concepts of top-tier action games and do it well. Kudos to Climax for delivering despite the roadblocks. Gotta check it out! PS2 got a lot of hidden gems. Also, you can play Ghost Rider in the Marvel Ultimate Alliance. He's even in the cover of that game!
This looks pretty fun actually! Van Helsing on the PS2/Xbox is super similar- also heavily inspired by Devil May Cry, also based on a big-budget film property, also a fun B-tier character action game.
I received this game (PS2 Version) for Xmas/Birthday, and while I wasn't a fan of some of the components I actually did like the game! It was short enough to not overstay it's welcome, and I remember playing through it a few times and collecting all those different unlockables. Blade was so fun!
I loved this game back in the day. It was one of my favorites growing up, and might have been the first game I've ever finished on my own. Watching this gave me flash backs thank you for this video.
imma be honest. I love this game to this day. i recently just played through it once more and felt like a kid again. ghost rider was always my favorite Marvel hero as a kid and still holds up to this day in my opinion.
Matt McMuscles, please do a Hero or Zero review on Superman Returns: The Video Game, because that game on certain gaming platforms like PS2 or Xbox 360 is absolute garbage af.
Turok Evolution, Shadow Man, Hellboy: The Science of Evil, Superman Returns, The Fantastic Four games, Batman Rise of Sin Tzu, Spawn Armageddon, Wanted Weapons of Fate and maybe a power rangers game or something. Those are games I would love to see you do next.
I think i played this at launch unknowingly? I played it when i was like 6 and i found it on a shelf in my local game store, loved the game as a kid cause ghost rider was my favorite marvel hero at the time, i never knew the GBA counterpart was good either. Man, We REALLY need a new ghost rider game
Yeah! And tbh, it wasn't a bad game neither, i had so much fun with it back in the day, and for a movie with a low budget, but lots of love, it was worth it!
I freaking love this game. One of the few games i went out of my way to find and not hesitate when i found it locally. The cut Wolverine cameo with lighting his cigar would have been so badass
Loved this game from back then but it was too short. Also felt that Blackheart as the final boss was neat but rushed. It also had alot of combat moments that just dragged to much. I can remember a certain portion where I spammed the dive kick just to survive. But you know this was still leaps better than Thor or any of the Iron Man games. When I played Riddler courses in Arkham Knight they REALLY remind of this game's bike sections.
I loved this game so much, especially the motorcycle levels. The bosses may have been repetitive, but everything else was so fun. I played the PS2 version and I guess you could say it was my introduction to God of War style games.
You know what, I thought I was just a kid who liked spooky flaming skull-man with no point of reference and that's why I liked this game. But watching this review and seeing the awesome animations and combos and particle effects, how the fuck does one not like this game? It's no wonder I fucking loved it.
There were games being released on the PS2 for a surprising amount of years after the PS3's release. Some quick research shows that one of the last games to be released on the PS2 in North America was FIFA Soccer '13... Yes... in 2012, when we were just a year away from the release of the Xbox One and the PS4, the PS2 FINALLY got it's last game in North America. It's last game ever released was the PAL-only FIFA '14: Legacy Edition, released in September 2013, less than two months before the release of the PS4.
I had this game for PSP as a kid and legitimately loved it. The PSP version was kinda watered down from the PS2 version but it didn't stop me from sinking hours into it
The ghostrider game was one of the best games I played growing up. I didn't get a ps2 till 2006ish and this was one of the best games in my library. I was only like 8 years old so it was either that or every single smackdown vs raw game for the system. I have got a few gems in recent years like disgaea but for the most part I didn't have quality games for my ps2 so ghostrider was a fresh of breath air. I also was just a huge fanboy for ghostrider and silver surfer growing up, coping old comics for super cheap from one of the local stores.
Both this game and Spawn Armageddon were good games in my opinion. They needed just a bit more polish but overall for what we got they were sufficient.
I remember renting the ps2 version and loved it so much that I bought it on the psp and beat it again. This said psp version is responsible for breaking my psp's right trigger because I was spamming the fully upgraded shotgun during a second playthrough.
Honestly just clicking on random videos of yours. So first I saw Nanobreaker, and the hilarity of the video sold me. Now Ghost Rider, lol. Off to Amazon or wherever to find a copy. Thx Matt. Subscribed!
Ghost rider is just such a badass looking character! It's similar to the skull knight in berserk. Love that kind of skeleton character! Man, the old caretaker, the horse ghost rider with Sam Elliott was absolutely dope! Also, I'd probably put Martian manhunter at A tier or higher! Love him! He's not quite as popular as the others, but man I love him! He's awesome, man! Same with black canary 😅😁👌🏻
Would love to see Capcom or maybe FromSoftware to make a Ghost Rider game based off of the midnight sons story. GR, Johnny Blaze (human with the hellfire shotgun but would def go with the OG GR look maybe as a secret character/skin), Vengeance, Blade, Morbius, Doctor Strange, a few others.
I remember playing this when I was 12, I was super into h&s games (still am big time) after playing DMC4 on pc and GOW2 a friend recommended Ghost Rider to me and I LOVED IT, I never bought a PS3 so having it on PS2 I played the shit out of this, I absolutely adored those motorcycle missions I replayed them until I could play them with eyes closed... damn, simpler times bavk then, haha
So when I was 10 (or 11. This was years ago), I had a choice while visiting family in a different state to get either this or Naruto Uzumaki Chronicles 2. I chose Uzumaki chronicles because I was a huge fan of the show and I’m a sucker for that shit. Looking back, I kinda regret not having gotten Ghost Rider. That’s still one of my favorite cheesy ass films and being a young ass kid, it would’ve been a great introduction into the hack and slash genre. I should try finding a copy online tbh.
Cool video. I've been re-playing this game, and it's pretty good. As a matter of fact, I find it underrated. Here are some requests for future Hero or Zero episodes/videos: - Superman Returns: The Video Game - Superman: The Man of Steel for the original Xbox - Batman: Vengeance - Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu - Justice League: Heroes - Iron Man and X-O Manowar in Heavy Metal - Hulk (The one based on Ang Lee's Hulk film adaptation)
Hearing you talk about how janky the bike sections were makes me feel so seen, I knew it wasn’t my fault it took me like a half hour each to beat some of those
this game is one of my favorite tie-in character action alongside Van Helsing in ps2,so the budget reduce and it was supposed to be a standlone game kinda reminds me of X-men origins game that was supposed to be it's own thing before fox came in.And killing enemy by reaching a certain Rank is pretty cool if DMC want to implemented it [the last time they used is on DmC Definite Edition].And it's mindblowing that this game ALMOST inspired DMC on chevalier,man Climax truly deserve a chance to make this but more refined.
This was probably my favorite ps2 game when I was little. I remember it being hard as hell but so rewarding when I finally beat the levels. I remember really liking when Blade shows up and you're on the train or chasing the train. I also remember the carnival level and final boss. For me the hardest sections was the third world. It was the one in the water plant or something like that. Can't remember what the enemies were but I remember absolutely hating that level. Ironically though that boss fight on the motor cycle at the end of the level is my favorite part of the whole game.
Never could get past the first level as a kid but i always loved the motorcycle section and loved to play it. Lost it at some point when i was little but i might pick it up again if i can find it
Every time I think about this game the phrase "better than it has any right to be" comes to mind. Based on the recent goofy and fun if mediocre movie that came out around the same time, copying a lot of other popular games, not many original ideas in its head, kinda janky vehicle sections...but i still fucking love it.
I still love this game. It’s so much better than the movie. I mean it’s not a long game and not perfect, but for an almost arcade style beat ‘em up it’s a hell of a lot of fun
Man. Blade was the Vergil of this game on terms of playstyle. I really hope another Ghost Rider game starring Ghost Rider and Blade with DMC style gameplay get greenlit.
It really was just a Devil May Cry clone, but somehow, it was just enough to set it apart and be kinda cool. I feel like this game could do well with a remake in a similar way like what was done with Lollipop Chainsaw recently. They'd finally be able to do everything they wanted to, and it'd probably be cheaper to get the voices
I remember playing this on my psp and remember it being really good but the only other game I had was Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core. Also the only other "Disc" I had was Dukes of Hazzard. Man I miss my psp.
I did actually own this for a very short time as a kid. My mom got it for me for Christmas one year. I never played any of the DMC or GoW games before it, so never saw the similarities until now. The reason why I had the game for such a short time is because I traded some asshole in 4th grade for it for a specific game he had, but conned me and gave me some other shitty game. I miss Ghost Rider and I wish I played more.
That music is reminding me of something, just can't put my finger on what. Really baffled by a lot of the choices made for this game, particularly the consoles.
Some suggestions for you Matt: Accalaim's Fantastic Four (PSX) Superman: Shadow of Apokolips (PS2/GCN) Marvel Heroes (PC) (Honestly this game is great Wha Happun Material. Though no longer playable with the servers down. Also one of my favorites) Batman The Brave and The Bold (Wii) Avengers in Galactic Storm (Arcade) Marvel Nemesis Rise of the Imperfects (GCN/PS2/XB/PSP) Marvel Superhero Squad (PS2) Jim Lee's WildC.A.T.S: Covert Action (SNES) The Adventures of Batman & Robin (SNES/Gen)
I do remember the reviews citing the God of War style gameplay as a negative and I remember thinking "But that game was fun to play, why would this be bad?" Never got to actually play this one though.
Can’t tell you how much I love this video is. For ghost rider being this good this game gets no love. I knew about it from the beginning as I was hooked on ghost rider I loved the movie and would get my hands on everything I could ghost rider and this game took the fucking cake. Love your content and you are amazing for going over everything this game has to offer. Also chain link attack and vengeance mode draw from resource pools. Green for chain link, and spirit for vengeance mode. You got that wrong but the rest is correct
I knew this game existed but I had no idea it was in the PS3 and 360 era, that is mind blowing Also because movie games were terrible I never gave this a shot, I regret that choice because I would've loved this game as a kid.
I remember that game "the darkness" thought it was terrible. Speaking of tie-in games, here's a few that could be reviewed. Lost (tv series) The shield The bourne identity Buffy the vampire slayer Reservoir dogs The Sopranos 24 The walking dead The warriors Just to name a few off the top.
This was one of two games I had when my older brother bought a PSP for me. Loved it even though I was terrible at it. I was able to play it again in middle school when a friend let me borrow is copy for PS2, then I finally bought a copy for myself a few months ago for the PS2 I own now lol. I demolished it after my experience with the DMC series. Still a fun game, not very much replayability though. Just wish Turbo Mode was available at the start and not a post-game "cheat" lol.
