Ghost Rider is a third person game based around the movie of the same name. The game's storyline is a sequel to the movie, and was penned by Marvel writers Garth Ennis and Jimmy Palmiotti. Players can play as Ghost Rider both on foot, or on the Hellcycle. The villains are both from the movie and the comic. Such villains are Scarecrow, Lilith, Blackout, Vengeance and Blackheart and for the GBA Mephisto.
The game features a system reminiscent to that of God of War, even having some of the same controls and style of attacks[1]. Combos are done with bare hands and with the Demonic chain. The overall mood, setting and visual stile are very much the same as those in the first instalment of Devil May Cry. When on the Hellcycle, Ghost Rider is still capable of performing many of the same chain attacks, and can shoot hellfire.
The Game Boy Advance version has some elements of Road Rash and Castlevania.
Ghost Rider has generally received mediocre reviews, with a 54% average on Game Rankings and a 51% average on Metacritic.[2][3] Official PlayStation 2 Magazine UK gave the game a 7/10 rating.
