About

New Ghostbusters II loosely follows the plot of Ivan Reitman's original film. The player starts out by selecting two ghostbusters out of five (the fifth one is Louis Tully). The player-controlled buster uses the proton pack and the computer-controlled one uses the trap where ghosts end up, after being frozen by the proton pack.

The game uses a three-quarters view, where the player moves from one room to another and get rid of all ghosts, whose type varies. The player-controlled character is the only one who can get hurt, if touched by a ghost.

There are six levels, inspired by the movie, each one featuring a boss fight with:

  1. The Courthouse
  2. Subways
  3. Apartment
  4. The Underground
  5. The Museum of Art
  6. Vigo's Altar
