While the official website still says the game is coming soon, a couple of readers already have the game, which came out last Friday (or there abouts) – with Activision dropping the license, it looks like the already completed cellphone game is being snuck out quietly. If you’ve gotten the game, feel free to comment on how it plays, where you got it, and other details that might be of interest to other cellphone owners! Tony and Lanny, cheers for the alert (you accomplished more in an hour than Vivendi did in weeks.)
The US website says the following carriers were intended to have the game; Verizon Wireless, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile. And we know of at least one carrier in Australia.
I’m no longer a tiny-screen cellphone owner, so I will be unable to provide help in this matter – those in the know, as I said before, comment please.
[UPDATE] Here’s a video clip of the game in action – the art is neat, the text is hilariously PG, and overall, it looks like the videogame equivalent of those water basketball games you used to have as a kid. Pump the button to “float” the ball through the water into a basket. Same principle here.
Thanks for the compliment. I found that link when I was checking out my account at Big Pond. Hopefully the mobile phone game is a sign that we would hear more news about the video game.
Ernie Hudsen will be coming to Australia next Saturday. I ‘m sure everyone will ask him about the game status and “Ghostbusters III”.
I haven’t downloaded it yet, but I just saw it on my T-mobile phone. If you go under “Halloween Scarefest” in the games section, it is there as “Ghostbusters: Ghost Trap” I’m assuming that is the same game mentioned in the article. It is $2.99/month if you want it as a subscription, or $6.99 for the full version. If i decide to download it I’ll post up my thoughts here.
*No prob Chris ;P…

Oh – Video too Chris ;P: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIm6YT58piM

i saw a video of it being played on Youtube – the Ghostbusters are static and have to shoot the ghost to propel it towards a ghost trap at the end of the level. The first few levels I saw are all the Librarian and it looks like it would get boring relatively quickly. I would only buy this if they released it on the IPOD nano / classic since the click wheel is perfect for this type of gameplay and would make the game very enjoyable.
It’s also available in Singapore through the Sony Ericsson website (in Fun & Downloads)
i played it on a comptuer yesturday. its fun but sumwhat hard…(thats what she said @ the picnic)
How did you manage to play it on a computer? Please do tell!
I found where to get the files and how to play them on a computer. More information here.
A check of Verizon’s game list as of today doesn’t show it there but I’ll keep checking back. Thanks for posting this.
