While multiplatform development may have stunted some of the features of the upcoming Ghostbusters game, we have to admit that it looks pretty sweet. Joystiq's Zack Stern had some time with the game and revealed that the video game takes place two years after the events of the second film. It's 1991, and your character becomes the fifth ghost-busting Ghostbuster. The generic design of the main character is intention, apparently, to put more emphasis on the film's original motley crew.
Fans will be glad to hear that Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis are contributing to the game's script. The gameplay seems to revolve around the proton pack and the game's incredible physics engine. Sounds like we may see some Valve-inspired Gravity Gun-esque sequences.
PS3 will benefit from being the lead development platform for the game. The game will take advantage of some SIXAXIS controls, such as being able to stun ghosts by shaking the controller (something that reminds us of last year's Folklore). With the care and effort being placed in creating an original game based on the Ghostbusters universe, we're going to be cautiously optimistic about this one.

I dunno, man. It was looking like a first day purchase, but the screens are leaving me a bit... underwhelmed. Hopefully the game play and story line are kick butt, it would make up for it.

Well this is probably a day one purchase for me given that that original creators are working on the script, but I have to say that the screen shits are leaving me underwhelmed at best.

I wonder if it will count with online modes.

I can't wait to reenact the slimer throwing food at you and the stay puff marshmallow man scene.
