Ghostbusters DS Details Revealed News

DS owners will get the chance to manage their own Ghostbusters firm next year, apparently...

By Gwynne Dixon
Posted: 06/12/2007

Some of the first details for the Ghostbusters games (announced last month) have been revealed for the DS version. It would seem that the causal title will step away from the up close and personal world of ghostbusting and replace it with the CEO's chair of a Ghostbusters firm, NGamer magazine reports.

Yes, that's right; you lucky DS owners get to send out Egon, Venkman, Ray and Winston on ghostbusting missions to earn money for the company. But, instead of getting your hands dirty with the grunts' work, you'll be sitting up in your comfy office chair telling your minions what to do.

Apparently, the management game (under development from Red Fly Studios) will be served up in a top down perspective when its released late next year. Players can send out Ghostbusters to earn money on missions, before spending this hard-earned cash on new equipment etc.

We're guessing this equipment will include old-skool classics such as proton packs and ghost traps, particularly seeing as the DS game is set in the same early 90s time period as the games on other formats. With the original cast on board for voice-over and mo-cap work, the game's story will effectively be a further sequel to the Ghostbusters II film.

What this information on the DS game means for the other Red Fly Studios casual versions (on the PlayStation 2 and Wii) is unclear. A separate studio, Terminal Reality, is responsible for the next-gen and PC games which appear to be shaping-up into third-person shooters in the Ghostbusters style.

I was so excited when I heard about this game that I picked up the Real Ghostbusters volume 1 on dvd from amazon to hold me over until the game's release. Sounds like it will be pretty great! Now I'm definitely going to get it.

But seriously, if TVG wants to take itself seriously, TVG needs to hire better writers. Discs don't "wur" in the disc drive, they "whir," as in "whirring." And ending sentences with prepositions? Seriously?

	By: SegaBoy Added:Tue 12th May 2009 14:36, Post No: 13 Killed off my interest in the game. I'm sure it was gonna just be a mediocre game rescued by the fact it's Ghostbusters, but the Sony exclusivity just doesn't make any sense to me... What didn't they just pick it up entirely when Activision sold it is beyond me.

	By: Anonymous Added:Sun 18th Jan 2009 14:52, Post No: 9 sorry why do idiots keep moaning about cult classic movies and games based on them gohtbusts is 1 of my fave films apart from the goonies (was there a game released for that film) or spaceballs (again a starwars rip that was hilarious (i would love to see a game made for that film too) but yet all you idiots moaning about games based on old movies are also waiting patently for the jenesn 88 special in burnout paradise so i guess back to the future movies dont suck then. yeah yeah yeah modern movies have all this great cg and stuff but starwars games have always been good even if the first films were way back in the 70's i dont see anyone moaning about that now even if there are people out there who dont like starwars.
