The Activision game of the original Ghostbusters movie was the biggest selling computer game ever. The sequel also spawned an Activision game and was received to rave reviews on almost every format. This Amstrad version has now been re-released on the budget scene - and what a bargain it is!

The game is in three distinct parts. The first sees you, a Ghostbuster, descending a massive airshaft to reach a sewer at the bottom. On the way down, you will be accosted by different types of supernatural goons. Most of these can be destroyed using the proton beam pack you're equipped with. If the ghosties are too much for you, your equipment also includes PKR bombs and a very handy shield.

When you reach the bottom of the shaft, the action changes and your next task is to guide the Statue of Liberty (seriously) along Broadway. Ghosts again hinder your progress and must be avoided.

All of this leads to a final showdown with Vigo the Carpathian (seriously twisted spook-type dude). You have to rescue baby Oscar and save the world. Easy, huh?

The graphics are fab, the music superb and the presentation superlative. One of the best budget releases ever.

One of the best film licences of all time and a fine game in its own right.
