Bustin’ Makes Me Feel Good!
Yep Ghostbusters is back this June and in a huge way. June will mark the release of their new video game set to hit EVERY current system. Check out the newest trailer below for the Xbox 360 version.
The thing to take away from this stellar video is that not only is the game visually appealing you might have heard some familiar voices coming out of those animated mouths. Thats because the original cast (most of them anyway) are back to portray their ghostbusting counterparts once more. Dan Akroyd and Harold Ramis even wrote the script for the game which started out as a screenplay for a 3rd movie. Joining the original cast as Peter Venkman’s love interest is Alyssa Milano as….Alyssa, well that works well i guess.
Not all of the games will be the same of course the story will be similar but the art style between the systems will of course vary take a look at the Wii trailer to see what i mean.
As you can see it’s got a much more exaggerated and cartoony feel as well as a more personal touch as YOU are now a member of the team where in the PS3 and 360 versions you take control of your favorite busters.
Look for this one out mid June (hopefully it isn’t pushed back again) or if you want to get a jump on things you can pre-order it at your local Gamestop or EB Games to score a limited edition t-shirt, ROCK!
Free Shirt and playable alternate costume.
But thats not the only option! You can pre-order at Walmart or Best Buy to score some different in game playables. Check these out.
Walmart Exclusive Gold Proton Pack
Best Buy Exclusive Costumes
My favorite of these little special editions though is the Slimer edition at Amazon.com. This sucker comes with a limited edition statuette of Slimer, an Ecto 1 led keychain light, Exclusive console skins, and a set of exclusive ghostbusters Minimates you cant get anywhere else. It comes with a hefty pricetag but in my opinion it’s well worth the small bank loan you would need to buy it.
If you are like me you already have this gem (i hope) pre-ordered. If not get on that man i mean seriously look at all the awesome-ness that is coming with this game. You might forget how awesome the game will be! As if this wasn’t enough reason for Ghostbusters fans to rejoice this game comes along with the announcement of Ghostbusters 3. Yep thats right a 3rd film is in the works… now all we have to do is wait

I think that game looks awesome! I don’t play many video games, but I love the ghostbusters and the graphics seem amazing. The video you posted gives a great insight to the game and I know it will be very successful. It will also introduce some of the older movie history to the younger crowd.
