Johnny sells his soul for love and in return must walk the Earth as human by day and the demon ‘Ghost Rider’ by night, doing Mephisto’s bidding.
For anyone unfamiliar with the background of the game, Johnny Blaze becomes the Ghost Rider after a deal gone wrong with the Demon Lord, Mephisto. Story mode begins with a level called ‘Ghost Rider in Hell’ and is set up with individual levels that remain locked until you complete the previous level. We decided to play at medium difficulty and figured story mode was as good a place as any to begin our descent into hell. In the PSP version there are three difficulty levels: forgiving, challenging and punishing, with three different game modes as well: story mode, challenge mode and multiplayer mode. We sat down with our favourite little handheld and had some interesting experiences with the PSP game version of the comic book anti-hero Johnny Blaze, otherwise known as ‘Ghost Rider’. With the recent Ghost Rider movie hype about to explode onto cinema screens in New Zealand very soon, the introduction of the Ghost Rider game franchise was almost an expected event.
