How it plays
How does Ghostbusters play?
The player views the city from an overhead perspective while selecting destinations and driving the Ectomobile between locations. Money is used to purchase Ghostbusters equipment, including traps and ghost-catching supplies, before undertaking missions.
At haunted buildings, the game shifts to a vertical action sequence. The objective is to reach the upper area, deploy the necessary equipment, and capture the ghost. Progress depends on managing funds, choosing useful gear, and keeping the city’s activity under control.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Ghostbusters?
Buy only the equipment needed for the next mission so that funds remain available for later emergencies. Plan routes carefully and avoid wasting time on unnecessary trips across the city.
During building missions, move cautiously and concentrate on reaching the objective rather than taking needless risks. Learn the timing of the action sequence, because failed attempts consume resources and make the wider city situation harder to manage.
