More details on new Ghostbusters game

Atari has revealed further info on its new Ghostbusters digital title, Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime.

Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime is a four-player adventure in which players will suit up with their proton packs and assume the role of a rookie hired by the Ghostbusters to save New York City.

As the rookie, players will complete jobs, exploring a series of haunted environments that must be cleared of any ectoplasmic threats. Along the way there will also be “gigantic bosses” that must be defeated using a host of destructive weapons, including the Proton Stream, Plasma Inductor, and the Fermion Shock.

“Following the success of Ghostbusters: The Video Game, we are committed to continuing the lore of the Ghostbusters franchise with Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime,” said Jim Wilson, president and CEO of Atari, Inc. “In Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime, we are introducing an entirely new look and gameplay experience on digital platforms that will impress new and loyal Ghostbusters fans alike.”

Developed by Behavior Studios, Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime will be available in spring 2011 for Xbox LIVE Arcade, PSN and Windows PC Download at Atari.com.

Shifting over a million units, Ghostbusters: The Video Game can’t be described as a flop, but we’re certain all parties involved would have liked at least double that figure – this was a big budget title that included voice work from the cast of the original movies.

This downloadable game from Behaviour Studios is a chance to cash in on the appeal of Ghostbusters without having to pump huge amounts of money into the project.
