Ghostbusters: Sanctum of the Slime is definitely a game to call

Unfortunately good Ghostbusters video games have been hard to find. Sanctum of slime offers a completely new perspective of the paranormal blasting extravaganza.

I was using a wired Xbox 360 controller to play the PC version, so going off of that controller you can also use the right bumper to change the type of plasma beam used. This is important as different varieties of ghosts are vulnerable to different types of plasma beams.

Although the gameplay seems simple enough, Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime gets very difficult after a couple levels. When you die your team mates will struggle to revive you while dodging enemy attacks. You must revive your team members by tapping the action button, which is A on the Xbox 360 controller.

The story of Sanctum of Slime is told via graphic novel screens prior to each level. Whilst the console versions allow you to play online, the PC version is gimped only allowing local multiplayer. Sanctum of Slime delivers a lot of fan service for true fans of the franchise. Of course there can’t be a Ghostbuster game without Slimer, and you will see him multiple times throughout the game. I’m just upset that the much loved Stay Puft Marshmallow man didn’t make the game this time.

As a PSN, Xbox Live and PC downloadable game this is well worth the price. I can see true fans playing through at least twice as the game offers great value for the low price. Who you gonna call? As a huge Ghostbusters fan I can honestly say that Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime is definitely a game to call on, it’s damned near a steal for the price.

Written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, the dialogue intertwines scientific jargon and a sarcastic attitude.

If you have a ghost, but you don't want to play host. You can't sleep at all, so who do you call … Ghostbusters.” The gang decides that they must enter the commercial sector in order to stay in business. A family sings the praises of Ghostbusters during an ad. One of the catchiest "Ghostbusters" quotes, this line inspired the theme song to the movie.
