Ghost Hunters by Code Masters - Cover Review

How many times do I have to say this, when battling ghosts you might as well leave the guns at home. By their very definition, ghosts are non-corporeal, you can pump a million bullets into them and it won't matter ... it'll go right through their see-through bodies. Bringing a gun to a ghost fight is like bringing a DVD player to a movie theater, you just won't need it. I don't care if you look like Rambo (which this Ghost Hunter clearly does). I don't care how many different types of ammo you bring. I don't even care that your gun has a scope on it; the facts remain that you can't kill a ghost with a gun. Didn't you learn anything from Ghost Busters?

Of course, you don't have to take my word on it. Just look at this illustration. You see John J. Rambo shooting at what appears to be a ghostly monk, and the bullet seems to be going right through it. If I had any suggestion for this Ghost Hunter I would say that it's about time he runs. And fast. Look, this guy has at least four creepy characters in front of him, including what appears to be a cross between Nosferatu and those aliens from Dark City. And then there's that traditional ghost character, all floaty and white. And we can't forget the guy with the horns, the only guy that looks like he's solid enough to be killed with a gun. The cover really has me confused, on one hand it looks like these "ghosts" are just upset that Rambo brought a gun to their poker game, but the more I look at it the more I wonder if they aren't steamed that he decided to start breaking their plates and candlestick holders. Hey Rambo, lighting the castle on fire isn't going to kill these ghosts either, so you might as well not even try.
