Some details on the controls and other stuff for the Wii Ghostbusters game

[Queasy]

MTV Multiplayer - I'm actually torn right now between whether I will pick up the Wii or 360/PS3 version. I love the cartoony look of the Wii version but I'm still wondering how it will ultimately control. In an interview with a Ghostbusters producer, the following controls are revealed:

?Ghostbusters? makes full use of the nunchuk and Wii remote to have players wrangling and trapping ghosts throughout the game. Though the controls are subject to change, right now the B button fires your primary weapon, the Proton Pack. To capture a ghost, you fire your stream by aiming the Wii remote at the ghost until it becomes dazed. Once dazed, the stream becomes a trap, and you can begin wrangling it into the trap.

?While wrangling,? Slepian explained, ?you?ll see commands such as a left arrow, so you swing your Wii-mote to the left slamming the ghost left, thus, weakening it. But it?s not like a quicktime event because you have more control over the movements. You?re not mashing buttons.?

Other equipment, such as your PKE meter and power goggles, are mapped to the d-pad, and are used to show you hidden things, such as collectibles, secret rooms, obstacles or ghosts. You also use these tools to help you solve puzzles needed to progress through the levels.

And if you ever get stuck, they?ll be hints in the game to help players out. ?You learn through the course of playing the game that if you?re lost, use your PKE meter, it?ll kind of give you an idea what to do,? Slepian said. ?We?re also adding a lot of tips and hints for players in case they do get lost to try and hold their hand a little bit. There will be some audio cues, but there wil also be some pop-ups every now and again that will say, ?Press the A button? or ?Equip the PKE meter.??

He goes on to say that the story of the games, the voicecast, and some of the dialouge between the Wii and 360/PS3 versions will be identical but there will be some differences in level layout and enemies.

And the potentially groan inducing money quote....

I really feel you?ll get a different experience between the Wii and next-gen.
