Ghostbusters: The Video Game

Are you troubled by strange noises in the middle of the night? Have you experienced feelings of dread in your basement or attic? Have you or any of your family ever seen a spook, specter or ghost? If the answer is yes then don't wait another minute, pick up the phone and call the professionals... Ghostbusters: The Video Game is the first game in almost 20 years based on the Ghostbusters universe and features the actual voices of the original cast.

The story takes place in 1991, two years after the Ghostbusters vanquished Vigo and prevented him from taking over the world. Since then, the Ghostbusters have been overrun by the increasing number of spirits appearing in the city and has decided to add a fifth member to the team. This is where the player will step in, taking the place of the nameless "new cadet" of the Ghostbusters, hired to test Egon's new experimental equipment.

The gameplay follows the Ghostbusters as they travel through familiar locales and fight familiar enemies using authentic equipment including the famous proton pack and spirit traps. The player must use the proton beam to wear down the ghost and then set out a trap and guide the ghost towards it. There is also new equipment to be used that can be unlocked during later levels, as well as being able to upgrade equipped items by acquiring money for catching and destroying ghosts.

The game features pre-rendered and in-game cutscenes, as well as online multiplayer modes that allow players to meet up with friends online and team up. The gameplay is similar to other action-adventure games, where the player must navigate through levels, fight enemies and solve puzzles to progress.
