"This is the sort of game that great uncles and grandmas are going to buy for the young people in their lives because they heard Ghostbusters was popular, or that littler kids will point out in the mall just after seeing the movie. But no informed gamer should fall for the siren song of that catchy main theme. It’s not actively painful to play if you happen to be at your eight-year-old cousin’s house and need a co-op game for six to eight hours that’s not going to require much skill. But you could do so much better. I can’t imagine ever wanting to drop a full 50 dollars on it, especially considering there are plenty of games out there that are equally fun to play for kids and adults."

About

Ghostbusters II is a single player adventure game designed for electronic LCD handhelds. You control Peter Venkmann as he navigates a ghost-infested world, using a proton pack to zap spirits and clear the way. Each level tasks you with tracking down paranormal activity and capturing every ghost before moving on. The ultimate goal is to locate and rescue the kidnapped infant Oscar, who's being held by supernatural forces. Simple controls and a top-down perspective keep the action straightforward, relying on reflexes and quick decision making to succeed. Despite basic visuals and limited by early 90s LCD technology, the game captures the chaotic energy of the films. The challenge comes from tight time limits and increasing ghost numbers as levels progress. A small but vocal community of retro gamers still play it for short bursts of spooky action. While not complex by modern standards, it remains a nostalgic pick for those who remember the era of pocket sized entertainment and the Ghostbusters brand's peak popularity.

Storyline

The game follows the premise of the second film of the same name. The player moves Peter Venkmann around the screen, chasing and zapping ghosts in order to rescue the baby Oscar.
