A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal - Oscar Wilde
Ghosts get busted one more time
WHO YA GONNA CALL? The answer, it seems, is Vivendi Universal, which plans to release a new game based on the Ghostbusters franchise in 2008.
More excitingly, the firm has convinced the film's original actors - Dan Ackroyd, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson and Bill Murray - to reprise their vocal roles for the game, making this a truly authentic ghost busting adventure.
The game will be out on all formats, with development studios Terminal Reality (Blood Rayne) handling PC, PS3 and X360 and Red Fly Studio working on the PS2, Wii and DS ports.
For those with concerns about story - with video games not often noted for their strong dramatic premise - the original writing team of Ackroyd, Ramis and Murray are also penning the script, which makes this about as close to Ghostbusters 3 as fans are ever going to get, we expect.
Will the Marshmallow Man make a comeback appearance? We can but hope. The INQ awaits its imminent Sliming with baited breath.

After I think you posted a link to the youtube video I am hoping they get the sound just right for the proton packs to make it proper.

It sounds like a laser from a game off the commodore 64 really bad.
I can only hope it's significantly better than the game I remember from the ZX Spectrum back in the day - one of worst games I've ever bought.

G4TV has the "exclusive" video.
Ghostbuster is my absolute favorite; sucky game or not I'm really excited. And even more excited that there will be all the original actors.
There is also a new fan film called "Return of the Ghostbusters" recently released that is available for download at www.returnoftheghostbusters.com. The film is entirely fan made but with professional production values. Check it out!
Looks like Michellin Man is back, he makes an appearance in the game trailer.
Waiting for the Uwe Boll movie!
