Releasing on DLC this March, the press material flood gates for this game have opened up. Let’s start with the cover, featured to the left. Nit-pickers will notice the recruit is holding the proton wand upside down and apparently it now has a gun grip. But really, who cares? Let’s start with the press release:
Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime brings arcade style gameplay to the beloved franchise. Strap on your proton packs for an all new ghostbusting adventure! Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime brings paranormal activity to Xbox Live Arcade, Playstation Network and PC Download! With 4 new playable characters and a whole new team of Ghostbusters, get ready for a fast-paced battle against the evil spirits that lurk in New York City to take down Dumazu the Destroyer!
Game Features
•12 levels of arcade-style Ghostbusting fun with an all new cast of Ghostbusters
•Immerse yourself in the fight against the paranormal – battle ghosts in NYC’s sewer tunnels, cemeteries & more
•Explore the unique powers of 3 different ghost fighting weapons
•Ride through the city in the all new ECTO-4WD as you battle evil ghosts while in transit
•Up to 4 player co-op multiplayer – combine weapon attacks with your teammates to increase the power of your attacks
It should also be noted that the original four ‘busters will be in the game. They will be featured in comic cut scenes between missions. The latest ghost outbreak is so out of control the fab four had to hire some recruits to help. These recruits are named Allan, Bridget, Samuel, and Gabriel (a woman Ghostbusters? Next thing you’ll tell me they can vote too). IGN.com described the gameplay to “Castle Crashers with proton packs”. Which excites the hell out of me. Check out IGN’s thoughts below:
