The original cast and characters from the movies will provide voice, acting and writing talent...
Entertainment site Variety is reporting that Vivendi will be releasing an officially licensed Ghostbusters game under their Sierra label. The title is due for release during the autumn of 2008 on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC from developers Terminal Reality. There will also be casual game titles for PlayStation 2, Wii and DS by Red Fly Studios.
This report comes after Dan Aykroyd (Raymond Stantz) revealed to a Canadian newspaper last May that he was going do motion capture and voice work for an upcoming Ghostbusters game. It appears now, however, that he'll even be writing the game alongside fellow old-skool Ghostbuster Harold Ramis (Egon Spengler), who'll also be voicing his character.
What's more, the original Ghostbusters cast of four will be adding to the voice talent, including the sardonic wit of Bill Murray (Peter Venkman) and Ernie Hudson (Winston Zeddemore). Other cast members of the original films who'll be putting in their two cents of dialogue include Annie Potts (the Secretary), William Atherton (Walter Peck) and Brian Doyle.
Given the cast, it's hardly surprising that the game will be set in the 90s after the second Ghostbusters movie. Apparently New York City will be overrun by various ghostly beasts again, but has the City learnt from its mistakes of Ghostbusters II and given Egon, Venkman, Ray and Winston the respect they deserve?
Vivendi has had some success with licenses of classic films of late, pulling in $125 million (£611,000) and 2.5 million unit sales for Scarface: The World Is Yours. "We noticed we did well on 'Scarface'," said Vivendi Games CEO Bruce Hack, "and were alert for new opportunities to turn iconic film products into games in a way that is a new manifestation of the franchise. 'Ghostbusters' is unquestionably among the small number of movies in that class."
Earlier this year developers Zootfly were reportedly developing a Ghostbusters game after footage was leaked onto YouTube. This project has long since vanished into thin air and Vivendi's game is in no way related.

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.

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.
