Did someone ring the ghost alarm? Dr. Spengler and the rest of the crew are on the move and pulling a job once more in Ghostbusters: The Video Game (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, DS). This time, details are rolling in about the game's multiplayer features for the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC versions. Well, it's not really "something strange in the neighborhood," but you all know the song right?

Play as one of the Ghostbusters: Choose to play as any one of the four original Ghostbusters or the rookie
Unique Achievements: Players are given scores and ranks for each match that are also applied to their online profile. Difficulty scaling is available according to rank
Unique Power-ups: To help players on even the trickiest of jobs, unique power-ups such as the Ghost Shrinker or Ethereal Shield are available
Limited Ammunition: To ensure teamwork, players must pick up ammunition for each type of equipment with ammunition levels being shown on the proton pack
Unique AI Features: To add another dimension to the hunting, wrangling and trapping experience of being a Ghostbuster, ghosts have unique AI features such as more aggressive behaviour, the power to sabotage traps and the ability to fuse with other ghosts
Full VOIP support: Voice support for both Xbox 360 and PS3 allows for easy communication between players.
Two Multiplayer Co-op Game Modes:

Instant Action: players can test their mettle in a variety of Job Types across a selection of 12 different maps to see if they've got what it takes to be a true Ghostbuster
Campaign Mode: players work through one of four different environments busting ghosts to earn cash and upgrade their equipment.

Of course, being a Ghostbuster isn't all about answering a call and trapping a ghost. There would be six kinds of jobs that you will have to do in the game:

Survival: Survive a paranormal onslaught
Containment: Capture all the ghosts
Destruction: Eliminate mysterious arteficts to prevent spawning ghosts
Protection: Protect Egon's devices
Thief: Save the artifacts from being stolen by ghosts
Slime Dunk: Dunk the most Slimers

All of those, you can do in 12 different maps across four themed environments: Library, Streets, Cemetery, Museum. If you do well, like get all the Most Wanted Ghosts, you can post your stats online, rank yourself and see if you're among the best.

Co Op is the main reason I'm interested in this. A lot of Ghostbusters fans have wanted to play a quality GB game in multiplayer for a long time. Being part of the Ghostbusters squad rather than just on your own. To be honest unless it's something like Street Fighter, I far prefer Co Op to competitive.
