However, Blackout arrives and kills Methodius and the monks, retaking Danny back to Roarke.
Johnny, Moreau, and Nadya are imprisoned as Danny is about to be executed. Johnny is successfully exorcised, but Methodius reveals his treachery and plans to kill Danny to prevent the Devil from taking over his body and achieving higher powers. Retaining his sense of justice, Zarathos became a Spirit of Vengeance, an entity who took pleasure in punishing the wicked regardless of their crimes, although Johnny questions if the Angel's benevolent spirit still exists. Before the exorcism, Moreau explains to Johnny that the Rider was once the Angel of Justice, Zarathos, but was tricked into going into Hell and was driven insane. Moreau catches up to the group and leads them to a Sanctuary, where the monastic order resides, led by Methodius (Christopher Lambert) who ensure the protection of Danny. Owing to this resurrection, Roarke sustains some injuries due to his weak state on the Earth, and sends Blackout to retrieve Danny. However, Roarke resurrects him as a being known as Blackout, who can render a person's environment pitch black and decay anything he touches. Roarke approaches Carrigan, who dies in front of him. But in Danny's presence, the Rider is forced to turn back into Johnny Blaze, partly due to the fact that Danny is the Devil's son. As Nadya and Danny escape, the Rider catches up to them and attempts to kill Nadya. The Rider makes short work of the mercenaries by "riding" a Bagger 288 and defeats Carrigan. The Rider appears and a battle ensues while Nadya frees Danny. Carrigan prepares himself with an army of his men, including a rocket launcher that could hopefully defeat Johnny. Johnny begins to transform, and when Nadya confirms her son and Carrigan's location, Johnny rides there mid-transformation. This means that the game does not overstay its welcome.Nadya takes Johnny to one of Carrigan's contacts and, upon interrogating him, finds that Carrigan and Danny are in an old quarry. 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.
