Media: New Ghostbusters Screens for PS3, 360, and Wii, Plus Multiplayer Info
March 9, 2009 | 3:51 PM PST



There's something strange in the neighborhood... Ghostbusters screenshots. What's more, in addition to eight new screens of the PS3/360 version, we also have an astounding four new screens of the Wii version, too.

Sadly, there were no DS screens to be had. In any case, these screens should make you feel good, so head on over to your gallery of choice and check 'em out. And keep reading for Atari's fact sheet on the 360 and PS3 version's multiplayer.

Now, who you gonna call?

MULTIPLAYER ON PS3, Xbox 360 & PC

MULTIPLAYER OVERVIEW:


Teamwork is what being a Ghostbuster is all about so Terminal Reality have worked with Three Wave Software, a triple-A multiplayer developer, to create an exciting and original multiplayer component in Ghostbusters: The Video Game for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC platforms.

Offering gamers the unique opportunity to play as one of the four original Ghostbusters, an option not available in the single player game, the multiplayer is a fast-paced, co-operative experience. Taking place on an average phantom-packed day for the Ghostbusters team, players will work together to contain supernatural phenomena around the city while competing to earn the biggest pay check.
