You can just tell more love went into the stay puft boss since he's an entire build but Rowan was just a big Lego minifigure

the 1984 is MUCH MUCH MUCH better - maximum detail, whereas the 2016 one is a molded head with a minifig body.

The quality difference of the two movies really transitioned well to their respective Boss Battles:
1984s Stay Puft is a sight to behold, an enormous LEGO Construction made of thousands of pieces; 2016s is a hyperscaled Minifig.
'84s gives you the whole rooftop to fight on, with slowing puddles of Marshmallow Goo gradually building up around you as you blow parts off of him; 2016 cramps you in a tiny mosh pit of Ghosts, giving little room to avoid cheap damage.
'84s patterns are telegraphed well, giving you no excuses when you do get hit, and the way to progress the battle is crystal clear; '16s Battle provides little to no indication when your Proton Beam can actually do damage, and the attacks are mostly watered-down knockoffs of '84s Battle.

The Dialogue and Action in the two battles couldn't be any further apart from each other, thanks to the superior storytelling from the 1984 Movie. The 2016 Battle takes place in a swirling voidspace without any features, and your 'goal' is to knock the boss down long enough to grab a rope. To their credit (very little credit), they could have forced you to beat him on a Time Limit, but they didn't. That's the _only_ way they could've made the fight worse...
The 1984 Boss Fight gives you a majestic City Skyline as your backdrop, and a fantastic pre-fight Cutscene to build the tension for this final battle. The fight actually feels like you're a tiny human with a gun facing off against a Giant Monster, taking opportunities to blast off its arms by shooting explosive objects it tries to throw at you, before blasting it in the Face!
Defeating the Mini Stay-Pufts and jumping over shockwave tremors before launching the Ecto-1 into its face to finish it off, providing the city a lifetime supply of S'Mores. Is there any doubt why one Movies Final Boss succeeded

Personally I believe that lego Ghostbusters should have its own game like lego Jurassic World, sure it has interpreted into lego dimension’s but I believe it deserves its own solo game series accompanying with the newly released Ghostbusters Afterlife.

The way the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man was built... I'd love to see him as an actual set one day, alongside the four Ghostbusters and the top of 550 Central Park West/Spook Central/Gozer's Temple so kids and adults alike can reenact the famous 'Cross The Streams' scene. Of course, the game left out one of the best parts of the aftermath of Stay Puft's destruction - Walter Peck getting a whole boatload of liquid marshmallow dumped on him from above.

My one problem with 1984 ghostbusters in lego dimensions is they had to alter the audio from the voices instead keeping the voices at the normal pitch used in the movies or the fact they had to get someone else to voice Louis aka Rick moranis

You can see how much effort was put into the first one with stay lift made of different pieces but Rowan is just a big mini figure

wish they'd make a stay puft set like this irl

[PXLFrosty]

Game: *thinks of mini stay pufts*
New movie: Write that down, WRITE THAT DOWN!!!

[Funcrashmalej]

Lego dimensions was such a good game. The problem was that many sets to get new characters were very expensive (my only extra characters are: Eris (Lego chima), B. A. barrackus (the A. Team) and Marty Mc Fly (back to the future)).

1984 GhostBusters boss along with the cutscene is awesome. The fact it uses audio from the film instead of people re-dubbing the whole diolouge is how they actually appreciate the original more.

1984 Lego Stay Puft: Its a ✨Masterpiece ✨

2016 Rowan: Large ahh Minifigure

[InkDemonnD]

The older one definitely has more quality

[anonomousryan]

i refuse to believe 2016 ever happened

[Leostar-Regalius]

ronin turning into the giant form was the coolest part of 2016 going from 2D to 3D, along with the theme remix

[MungisTheFungus]

I personally think the 1984 one is much better than the newer one, considering the stay puft marshmallow man looks much better than a huge minifig.

8:47 A great way to end a final boss fight!! 👏👏👏👏👏

[DonnaJerri]

I love how Bill Murray is forever in a Lego game

[kvinkTownLegoBatman]

the model of stay puft in the 1984 one and the music at the end of the 2016 one is just straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥
