"This summer, PlayStation owners
will be the first to grab their proton packs and fight the spirit
world. We’d like to wish them the best of luck in their ghostbusting
endeavours and, of course, to remind them not to cross the streams!” -
says Mark Hardy, European Product Marketing Director at SCEE.
In
Ghostbusters: The Video Game, players can grab a proton pack and turn
their ghostbusting fantasies into reality as the new recruit to the
Ghostbusters team in a story set two years after the Ghostbusters 2
movie. Once again, the city of Manhattan has been overrun with ghouls,
ghosts and all things foul – and it’s down to the Ghostbusters team to
capture them all and regain control.
The game has been written
by original Ghostbusters writers Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd and
reunites members of the original cast for the first time in 20 years.
Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, and Ernie Hudson lend their
voices and in-game likenesses to the game, which also features
performances from favourites including William Atherton (Walter Peck),
Annie Potts (Janine) and Brian Doyle-Murray (Mayor Jock Mulligan).
Developed
by Terminal Reality and Red Fly Studios Ghostbusters: The Video Game
will arrive on PS3 and PS2 this June. PSP version of the game is
scheduled for launch in autumn 2009.
