Firstly, ghosts need to be weakened down with your Proton Pack, which steadily gains more firing modes throughout the game. The process of weakening and capturing the ghosts feels like a mixture between a third person shooter and a fishing minigame.

Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson and the late Harold Ramis all give excellent performances that stay true to their characters, even 25 years after they made the first movie.įortunately, the game comes alive when you are actually busting ghosts. At least the game does eventually bring in new locations, ghosts and concepts.Īs a fan of the films, I definitely found Ghostbusters: The Video Game to feel authentic to the franchise. It can sometimes feel a bit overly slavish to fanservice the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man is gratuitously encountered early on, and many levels feel like full-on homages to scenes from the movies.

You follow around the Ghostbusters on their various jobs, usually revisiting locations and set pieces from the films.
