This essentially is the original Ghostbusters 3. You have the original cast reprising their roles from the first two movies. You actually play as a rookie that's getting trained by the Ghostbusters. This game did a great job making you feel like an actual Ghostbuster. You get to explore several locations some from the first two movies. There's a good variety of ghosts you get to caught. They also hid some great surprises you won't see coming. I personally felt this is the best Ghostbusters game I ever played!!!

This first-person roller-coaster initiated a new era in the history of action games by combining engrossing gameplay, upgraded graphics, ingenious level design and a revolutionary story that may not be all that it seems, told not through cutscenes, but through the visual environment.
