Product description
-------------------
The game features an all new storyline but still manages
to replicate most of the major scenes from the films, including
the hotel-room capture of New York library ghost, Slimer, and the
attack of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. Almost all of the
original cast are involved, including all four Ghostbusters, the
mayor, and even Walter Peck.The game itself is mission based and
has you catching ghosts with your proton packs and then
manoeuvring them into a ghost trap--just like the movie. Whether
thats enough to fill a whole game isnt clear, but the funny
dialogue and celebrity voiceovers should help paper over any
cracks.

the movie Some ghosts need to be destroyed--not caught Getting
slimed is all part of the fun when you’re a Ghostbuster The Stay
Puft Marshmallow Man is back for revenge
