Ghosts can not only turn invisible but float around in 3D space, tracking along the ceiling or moving through furniture, making controlling them a lot more involving that the regular human characters. This can involve a classic sliming, but also simply making spooky noises and possessing ordinary objects. There are various different types of ghost, including a slimer, and while each has slightly different abilities they all work in the same basic way, as they try to fill up a ‘haunted’ meter by scaring the other characters. As with the Evil Dead game, the player on their own has a lot more options at their disposal, although no goal more complex than just not getting caught. Spirits Unleashed is a multiplayer game and according to the conventions of its sub-genre that means four people get to play as a customisable ghostbuster (nobody gets to be Venkman) and one plays as the ghost. The recently remastered Ghostbusters: The Video Game had all that good stuff as well, but in the context of a single-player story game that at least varied somewhat from level to level. Dan Akyroyd and Ernie Hudson return to provide some authentic-sounding voiceovers and all the gadgets like the PKE meter and Ecto-1 are present and correct, but these elements are not new to video games. ![]()
