Run 'n leap around a platform environment, busting ghosts and buying top new equipment to aid your paranormal extermination business.

Jaz: Once you get used to the rather strange methods involved, ghost bustin' becomes an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

Matt: The whole Ghostbusters phenomenon seems rather stale and boring these days, and I'm afraid the game suffers in the same fashion.

Jaz: The cartoon-style graphics are still pretty good, but there are loads of other platform games around which offer more fun and variety. Playability, lastability and overall down by 7%.

Rich: As blasters go, this one's fast and playable, but it has aged a bit. I'd drop the overall down to around 77%, and take around 5% off the other ratings.

Presentation 84%
A good intro sequence and plenty of options.

Cute and highly detailed cartoon-style graphics - some of the baddies are superb. The backgrounds are weak, though.

Spot effects are adequate, and the Busters theme is accurate.

Playability 82%
Nicely balanced difficulty level makes this very easy to get into.

Lastability 75%
Rather simple but challenging gameplay provides plenty of fun - but it won't keep you occupied for months.

Overall 80%
A fairly enjoyable licence which should appeal most to platform fanatics.
