Fears that the multiplayer portion of Ghostbusters was chopped off as a sacrifice to the gods of a timely release be appeased: there is finally official (maybe) information on Ghostbusters: The Video Game's multiplayer. Kombo has the scoop detailing the full multiplayer overview, which supports several different game modes. We haven't been able to get 100% confirmation that their list is indeed legit, but it sure looks it.

Naturally, the developers have included cooperative play of some of the singleplayer missions, but they did not stop there. Several other modes are also featured, and detailed below.

MULTIPLAYER ON PS3, Xbox 360 & PC

MULTIPLAYER OVERVIEW:

Teamwork is what being a Ghostbuster is all about so Terminal Reality have worked with Three Wave Software, a triple-A multiplayer developer, to create an exciting and original multiplayer component in Ghostbusters: The Video Game for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC platforms.

Offering gamers the unique opportunity to play as one of the four original Ghostbusters, an option not available in the single player game, the multiplayer is a fast-paced, co-operative experience. Taking place on an average phantom-packed day for the Ghostbusters team, players will work together to contain supernatural phenomena around the city while competing to earn the biggest pay check.

MULTIPLAYER FEATURES:

Unique Multiplayer Features:

1. Play as one of the Ghostbusters: Choose to play as any one of the four original Ghostbusters or the rookie;
2. 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;
3. 6 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;
4. Limited Ammunition: To ensure teamwork, players must pick up ammunition for each type of equipment with ammunition levels being shown on the proton pack;
5. 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;
6. Full VOIP support: Voice support for both Xbox 360 and PS3 allows for easy communication between players.
Two Multiplayer Co-op Game Modes:

7. 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;
8. Campaign Mode: players work through one of four different environments busting ghosts to earn cash and upgrade their equipment.

That's... a huge list of features. I don't even know where to start with it, because they have completely overwelmed me with information. I mean, Unique Job Types? Most Wanted Ghosts? They've gone above and beyond the typical game, though I don't think anything could replace a full, four player cooperative version of the singleplayer campaign. I suppose this is better than that, in a way, and there are still co-op modes, but I don't know...

What does everyone else think about the list?
