Neither of you guys pointed out the biggest flaw I've seen in the first 4 levels by Fullofkittens 01/02/2009, 10:09am PST
The pace of this game is all fucked up. In order to accomplish your goals in the amount of time you want/need to, you have to be furiously clicking all over the map to get things to happen before the time runs out. Result: you never actually get to watch what the ghosts do! It's more like Ghost Manager. It's like you hire these scaring people subcontractors, give them an assignment, and then trust them to do what they say they will. "Ok, you briefly manifest and horrify onlookers, while you rain spiders from the ceiling - if you can do that while I'm talking to the guy about half-burying people in the yard that would be great, I'll be back to check how things are going in a couple of minutes." Then some people run screaming out of the house so I assume everything went fine.

I think they should put a in skippable cutscene every time a ghost does a new power in a new room, with the option to turn them all off. Or something. The pace of this thing ruins any kind of atmosphere it might have had.
