How it plays
How does New Ghostbusters II play?
The game presents scrolling action stages viewed from a side-on perspective. The player guides a Ghostbuster through haunted locations, avoids hazards, and uses the proton pack against ghosts and other enemies.
Stages are arranged as a linear progression through film-related scenarios. Success depends on moving carefully, controlling the beam, and reaching the end of each area while managing enemy attacks and environmental obstacles.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play New Ghostbusters II?
Keep moving through each stage and avoid standing directly in front of approaching ghosts. Use the proton beam from a safe distance, then reposition before enemies can surround the character.
Learn the layout of hazards on failed attempts. Conserving health and choosing safe openings is usually more important than rushing, especially in later film-inspired sections.
