The story really is Ghostbusters 3 and you are the new mute Rookie in the group. All of the original cast and several supporting players return for voice over work. There are a lot of suble jokes and it really has a good flow story wise. The best thing about the game is simply you are in the Ghostbusters universe and working right alongside the team.

First issue is the bizare issue that this game tends to stutter a lot on PC. The best fix I found is to set the game to run in low priority. I have no idea why that works and it is completely counter-intuitive. The command line shortuct to start the game with this fix is:

%comspec% /c start "" /low "[PATH TO GAME]\ghost_w32.exe"

I played on casual difficulty. I found the proton stream mechanic to be a bit unwieldy with a mouse but once a few upgrades come alone in the course of the game it became somewhat easier. Only two places proved to have enough difficulty that it required me to take a moment and access the best way to fight the ghosts.

The visuals while not superior are completely adequate and the music/sound is excellent. It really flowed well and I always found it complementary to the situation.

I recommend this game for anyone who likes the original Ghostbusters movies.
