Sony has grabbed the publishing rights for Ghostbusters just over a month before the game's scheduled release...
Ghostbusters has now gone through three separate publishers in its bid to reach the market following a deal between Sony and Atari that will bring the title to PS2 and PS3 initially, with a PSP version to follow.
This is according to gi.biz, which reports that Terminal Reality's game will now come to Sony's PS2 and PS3 exclusively on June 19th alongside the Blu-ray launch of the original films, while a PSP version of Ghostbusters is now planned for release several months later.
Exactly what will happen to the remaining Xbox 360, PC, Wii, and DS versions of the game is unclear at this point, although Atari may be able to publish an Xbox 360 version of the game at a later date according to the report.
Ghostbusters was originally set to be published by Sierra Entertainment before Activision cut the project loose after merging with Sierra's parent company, Vivendi Entertainment in 2007. Atari then picked up the rights to distribute the title last November before this latest deal with Sony changed the tides once again.
UPDATE: Atari has confirmed that it will publish the remaining Ghostbusters SKUs for Xbox 360, Wii, PC, and DS later this year. Exactly when the game will arrive in 2009 is a little hazy though, with the publisher telling VG247, "We're still waiting on official dates".
Additionally, Sony has given the newly announced PSP version of the game an initial autumn 2009 release window.

Thanks for this review! 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.

Poorly written review. Spelling and grammatical errors all over the place. 2/10. Will not read again.
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?

I don't have any problem with Sony getting exclusive rights, it's what happens, it's just the fact it's so late in the day - it just doesn't make that much sense.

wow. thats all i can say. wow. this is bull$hit. why would they hurt a cult classic game like this? if they did what they were supposed to and released it for all systems simultaneously they would have made mass money, but they went and f*cked it all up didnt they? thats why nobody likes sony and ps3. they are a bunch of money hungary wh#res. the only reason they did this is because the 360 and wii are kicking the ps3"s a$$

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.

more people wont like it now its only comming out on ps2 and ps3 the rest of the consoles will have to wait till next year before they get a chance to play this cult classic.

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.
