There is very little information currently available about the upcoming game based on everyone’s favorite film franchise of all time, Ghostbusters, but here is what we do know so far.

The script for the game is currently being written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, and the setting for the title is placed right after the second film, rather than modern day. Players will take on the role of the “fifth Ghostbuster” who has been hired by the original four GB’s due to an enormous in flux of supernatural activity. The ghostbusters will be over seen by a government agency (presumably the EPA) led by Walter Peck, which will cover all the extensive damages players are sure to cause capturing all the spooks haunting the big apple.

Recent screen caps and video’s of the game have shown the return of several famous locations, including the Sedgwick hotel and a rooftop battle with Mr. Stay Puft, as well as new never before seen locations such as a haunted cemetery. The 360 and PS3 versions of the game will feature a more ‘realistic’ graphical style and game play while the Wii and PS2 versions will feature a more cartoon look (think toy story, not The Real Ghostbusters) with game play to focus on local multiplayer.

All four of the original cast members have returned to voice there electronic counter parts, as well as Annie Pots (Janine) and William Atherton (Walter Peck). There have been no reports of either Sigourney Weaver or Rick Moranis’s characters appearing in the game. Currently Ghostbusters: The Videogame is slated for a fall of ‘08 release for XboX360, PS3, PS2, Nintendo Wii, and Nintendo DS. You should probably go pre-order 10 copies right now.
