Ghostbusters: The Video Game

Ghostbusters: The Video Game is an all-new adventure featuring the characters from the popular movie series. It's being developed by Terminal Reality for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. Versions for the PlayStation 2, Wii, and DS are being developed by Red Fly Studio. The PS2/Wii version of the game have a graphical style notably distinct from other versions, featuring character designs stylistically similar to a Pixar motion picture or Team Fortress 2.  

If you pre-ordered the game at Gamestop you received a Ghostbusters T-shirt and a downloadable in game 'flight suit'.

The game's story is penned by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, who also wrote both movies. Aykroyd has gone on-record as saying that the game is, effectively, Ghostbusters III. Many of the key cast members from the films will digitally reprise their roles in likeness and in voice. One notable exception to this is Rick Moranis who refused to come out of retirement to reprise his role as accountant Louis Tully.

The game will put players in the role of a new recruit to the Ghostbusters team, just as Manhattan is overrun with supernatural monsters. Players will be given several weapons, including one that allows the player to manipulate objects by shooting them with sticky slime tethers and anchoring them to the level geometry. Some Key villains that return from the movies are the Stay Pauft marshmallow man, the librarian and Gozer.
