You can play as any of the Ghostbusters, not just Abby That’s how the level packs work too, but since they’re much shorter it doesn’t seem so odd. There’s a few cameos of other characters in the background, including Batman, Gandalf, and Wyldstyle, but it really is just the story from the film, with no attempt to continue the plot from the main game. The other thing we’re not sold on is that the story packs are entirely self-contained. But in both story packs the new portals aren’t really a story element, and we can’t help thinking the packs could’ve been a helpful £10 cheaper if they’d left the portal out. We get what they were going for, but the original portal is what the characters actually travel through in the game. By which we mean it’s a few shelves with a roof, and a sliding door where the portal should be. The new portal stand is a recreation of the new Ghostbusters HQ, which is based in a Chinese restaurant. The only minifigure you get with the story pack is Melissa McCarthy’s character, along with the new Ecto-1 – which is very good and a much better toy than the original. Which immediately creates some unfortunate déjà vu, because we have played the level pack based on the ‘80s film, which turned out to be one of the better ones from the previous wave of releases. We haven’t seen the film, so we’re going to avoid that particular snake pit, but we have obviously seen the original, and it quickly becomes clear from playing the game that the structure of the two movies is almost identical. And, well… the new Ghostbusters has not proven to be the safe choice it may originally have seemed. So far they’ve all been new films though (a third is due in February, based on the Lego Batman movie), and that means Warner has had to guess which ones are going to be popular a long way ahead of time. While the level packs add just one single new story level these are almost a separate Lego game all on their own, with a six-part recreation of various different films. Story packs are a new idea for Lego Dimensions and this was the first one to be released, back at the end of September. Not the Ghostbusters most people would call for
