It looks like players of the Wii version of the Ghostbusters game might be in for a little disappointment...
When this game was first announced, Dan Aykroyd dubbed it as "Ghosbusters 3", giving fans the impression that it would involve a storyline that would add to the series' canon. Unfortunatly, they were only partly right. Despite there being ten full single-player missions dedicated to the new plot, the majority of the game seems focused around some rather tedious multiplayer "party missions" that involve things like busting up furniture or ghost catching races.
Which is a shame, since the PS3 and 360 versions apparently focus more on the single-player mode.
On the bright side ... For the single-player mode we'll be seeing the return of Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, Slimer, and even the creepy Librarian from the start of the first movie. And let's not forgt the Ectomobile and full voice-acting from Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson and Annie Potts themselves. But will that be enough to win fans of the movies over?
NGamer Magazine has some details on the upcoming family-fun-time Wii/PS2 version of Ghostbusters. Some will inform you, some will allay your fears, others may well leave you a little upset.
Good news first: the game's set in 1991, so you don't need to worry about how Pete Venkman busting his hip or Janine's struggles with the onset of menopause. It'll also feature the Stay Puft marshmallow man and the creepy librarian from the first movie's intro.
Less good news: while there's ten single-player missions, the bulk of the game is indeed focused around multiplayer party sideshows, like who can bust up the most furniture, a 2v2 battle mode, ghost-catching races, that sort of stuff. Which is fine if you're into that thing. But would you really be into that more than the PS3/360 version?

Haha, that movie got a good amount of hype. Catchy tune, too. I'll wait for reviews before thinking about a rent.
