I don't mind the story switching to eastern Europe since the locations are excellent, particularly the amazing cave-monastery, but there are other changes that I'm not so crazy about, like the charred biker jacket of the Ghost Rider, but this is just a matter of taste I simply prefer the cool biker "costume" as opposed to the dirtbag biker look. Another positive is the rockin' soundtrack. The hot female is Violante Placido, who's arguably an improvement over Eva Mendes. The devil's main minion is played by Johnny Whitworth, a different character than Blackheart from the original, albeit similar. This time the devil is played by Ciarán Hinds, rather than Peter Fonda, which isn't a big deal considering Satan could presumably take different physical forms. The story switches to Europe and, more specifically, Romania and Turkey, where the film was shot. "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" (2012) is a worthy follow-up with Nicolas Cage returning as Johnny Blaze. Really, the only thing that was disappointing was the villain, Blackheart, who was seriously scary in the comics, but not so much in the movie. The first film was an amalgam of the ideas presented in these two series, mostly the first, and struck me as the comic-book come to life.
In 1990 a new version of Ghost Rider was introduced with a different character and it ran eight years. The book was canceled in 1983 after a ten-year run. Ideas were added as the years progressed, like the "penance stare" and Blaze's growing awareness of the former angel of justice, Zarathos. This was clear as the stories changed from writer to writer and one artist to another. When Ghost Rider came out in 1972 it was more of a general idea than a fully fleshed-out premise. This means that the game does not overstay its welcome.The first Ghost Rider film from 2007 was fairly faithful to the comic. You can collect souls that will earn you upgrades and unlockable stuff as you play. So, while the game is not original, it does what it does very well. Ghost Rider moves really fast and he feels similar to how Dante from DMC controls.
You can also use your fists and a shotgun. You can use your chain as a weapon that feels very much like Krato’s Blades of Chaos. It plays like God of War and Devil May Cry and that is not a bad thing at all. The gameplay is what I really liked about this game. To be fair this is the case with most beat em ups/hack and slash style games. My only real gripe with the visuals of the game is that the enemies are very repetitive. The different levels look nice enough and when you are on the bike there is a nice sense of speed. Ghost Rider, in particular, looks great with the flames on his head having a rally nice effect. This is a PlayStation 2 era game and I feel that they did a pretty decent job here. The visuals of Ghost Rider are actually pretty darn decent for their time.
