The game alternates between two main styles: overhead vehicle sections and side-scrolling indoor action. Players guide the Ghostbusters through city routes, then enter buildings to fight ghosts, avoid hazards, and complete stage objectives. Combat relies on timing attacks, maintaining spacing, and using the team’s gear effectively. Progress is level-based, and learning enemy patterns is important for advancing efficiently.
