GameSpot's Alex Navarro was more impressed, arguing that it struck a good balance between survival horror and action; "The primary reason "Ghosthunter" works is that it seems to have a very firm grip on what it wants to be. It knows it isn't scary enough to really fit into the survival horror genre, but it's too creepy to be considered just a standard action game. "Ghosthunter" falls squarely in between the two, and it manages to keep an almost uncanny balance all throughout the game." He too was impressed by the graphics, but was critical of the game's length. He concluded ""Ghosthunter" is a very enjoyable experience for as long as it lasts. Most players should be able to forgive its relative simplicity thanks to its excellent ambiance and entertaining characters and storyline."
