With Sony finally getting the buzz going once again for Ghostbusters: Afterlife, the marketing team has gone to work for those of us who like to play a little while we wait for the film (and our morning coffee).
While we don’t have any mobile game movie tie-ins at the moment, over at the official website, you can play the ECTO-1 Speed Trap browser game. Though admittedly, it does feel like a mobile game that’s just been adapted to work in your browser, but whatever.
The object of the game is to drive the ECTO-1 around the city, avoiding obstacles. Along the way, you’ll of course be capturing ghosts. You’ll have to be quick about it, since you have limited power after trapping the ghost with your proton beam. You can recharge your proton beam by collecting coins scattered on the road, as well as grab health packs to repair ECTO-1.
The best part of this is that you can save your high score screen (resembling the Ghostbusters’ jumpsuit with nametag) as a JPEG to impress your friends. And if you’re looking for other Ghostbuster games, you can always refer to our list of games based on the film (though admittedly they’re not all winners).
Ghostbusters: Afterlife stars Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace and Paul Rudd, with appearances from Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson, Dan Aykroyd, Annie Potts and Sigourney Weaver. Busting ghosts begins November 11, 2021.
