Genesis was particularly known for its unique sound and visual style, which Ghostbusters took full advantage of for their Genesis debut. The caricature-like look of the characters is great, as are the cartoony (yet genuinely frightening) ghosts who populate the labyrinthine houses that make up this game's 5 levels. Hunting around for bosses is a fun idea, and it feels like a 16-bit precursor to Shadow of the Colossus in that respect.

One qualm, though: why no Winston Zedemore? Come on, guys, Winston was a Ghostbuster too. He was present for all the big moments in both movies AND the animated series: there is ZERO excuse to exclude him from this game.
