Ghostbusters: The Video Game is a 2009 action computer and video game. Terminal Reality developed the PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 versions, while Red Fly Studio developed the PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, and Wii versions, and Zen Studios developed the Nintendo DS version.[2][8] In North America, all versions of the game were published by Atari,[3][9] while publishing in Europe for the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 versions was handled by Sony Computer Entertainment.[4] The game was released amidst several delays in development and multiple publisher changes.[10]

The game, based on the Ghostbusters film franchise, follows the player's character as a new recruit in the Ghostbusters, a team of parapsychologists who pursue and capture ghosts. The game is modeled after a third-person shooter, but instead of using a traditional gun, players are equipped with a "proton pack", a laser beam-like weapon, and a ghost trap to fight and capture ghosts.
