Is it still worth playing?

A new recruit joins the Ghostbusters in 1991, two years after Ghostbusters II, as a wave of ghosts hits New York in this 2009 third person shooter. The four Ghostbusters from the films voice their characters, the films' music is used, and Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, who wrote the films, helped with the script. You weaken a ghost with the Proton Stream, then hold it in the capture stream and drag it into a trap, and the pack overheats if you fire for too long. New modes, such as slime and a stasis stream, are paid for by capturing ghosts and scanning cursed artifacts. A PKE Meter and goggles switch to first person to track ghosts down. Trapping a ghost is still the reason to play it now: weaken it, wrestle it with the capture stream and drag it into the trap, with the films' cast and music around you.
