Multiplayer details released for Ghostbusters, crossing streams not mentioned
Published on
Kombo.com has listed full multiplayer details for each version of Ghostbusters: The Video Game.
Online play lets you earn money and get new ghost-busting equipment, apparently. There are 12 maps with six different power-ups and game types, and an Instant Action mode.
The big list is posted after the jump, just in case you want to remain remotely surprised when it comes out in June.
And no. There's no mention of crossing the streams.
