Ghostbusters: The Video Game. Who Ya Gonna Call?

I'll give you a second to finish humming the theme tune.....done? Excellent. Every boy or mans' dream is to strap on a Proton Pack and bag themselves free-floating, full-torso, vaporous apparition! Well now thanks to Atari and developer Terminal Reality you can live out that particular fantasy.

Well Gozer is back, and it's your job to stop him/her/it and save New York City. As well as visiting new and exciting locations across the city you also get to visit the locations of the original films. Such as The New York Public Library and The Sedgewick Hotel.

This game is great fun. One or more of the original Ghostbusters drag you along for the ride as you get to trap ghosts, fight ghouls and generally smash up New York City. Actually trapping a ghost is quite difficult and tricky at first but once you get the hang of it you'll be making Slimer toast and little ghoul canapés out of all of his buddies in no time at all.

With a script written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis (Dr. Raymond Stantz and Dr. Egon Spengler respectively) the story is, as expected, brilliant. All the characters are voiced by the original actors. This makes the game so much more real and immerses you in it. And I'll be honest here, not many “comedy” games actually make me laugh...
