Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime - My Opinion

So, today I tried out a few trials from the Xbox Live marketplace and to be honest, the first few didn't particularly strike me as being very interesting. Then I got onto Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime and to be honest, it did grab my attention.

Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime is a new release by Behaviour Interactive, previously known as the developers of WET, Naughty Bear and Doritos Crash Course. Their new release is the latest entry into the Ghostbusters series of games, with Sanctum of Slime being a direct sequel to 2009's Ghostbusters: The Video Game, both if which have been published by Atari.

The game is a top-down co-op based game, which allows for up to 4 players to connect locally or online. Throughout the game, players will control one of the Ghostbusters new recruits, who are tasked with helping to rid New York City of a recently resurrected demon, while the original Ghostbusters team are busy on other duties.

The game features 12 levels and throughout the game players will be presented with better and more powerful weapons. The different weapons are a key feature in the title's gameplay as ghosts are divided into different types according to the colour of the aura surrounding the ghost. Each weapon is specialised to tackle a different type of ghost.

Outside of that I could see very little else from the trial. It may indeed sound rather basic, but I feel it works rather well. The only aspect that I feel could become dull is the co-op, as that is the only mode. Although Sanctum of Slime can be played in a single player mode, I feel it could be less fun unless it is played with friends.

The trial is roughly 10 minutes long I think it is a fair reflection of the game. Even if you don't wish to buy the full game you could possibly find that the trial is an interesting way to pass a few minutes buy, but I would recommend checking it out. Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime is available on the Xbox Live marketplace for 800 Microsoft points, Steam for £6.99 and Playstation store for around the same price. 

I'm sorry that I have been rather short in this post, but a will be posting more about my recent discoveries on the Xbox marketplace in the next few days. I have once again been randomthings and thank you very much for reading. I'll see you again next time.
