Namco Hometek announced today Ghosthunter for the PlayStation 2. Scheduled for release in August, Ghosthunter is described as a dark and atmospheric third-person action-adventure game from Sony Computer Entertainment Europe's Cambridge Studio. Ghosthunter is set in a paranormal environment and features film-quality graphics with ghostly effects.
The game follows the harrowing tale of Lazarus Jones, a rookie Detroit cop, and his partner, Anna Steele, who stumble into the ghost research laboratory of Professor Peter Richmond during a routine patrol of a dilapidated old school. Being a rookie, Lazarus releases a legion of ghosts and spirits that begin to wreak havoc around the world, while another spirit abducts his partner, and yet another fuses with him, giving him the ability to see into the spectral realm. Armed with second sight and a cache of weapons and gadgets, the rookie cop is forced to take on the entire spirit realm in hopes of finding his partner and saving the world.
