"We discussed this with the developer [Terminal Reality]. We all thought, 'When you have ghosts would it really make sense to have cover mechanics?' Because ghosts can go through solid objects! [laughs] So it would really kind of break the fiction that the Ghostbusters world sets up. If you went with a cover mechanic, it would make it much too similar to a real type of shooter out there. So we added the other things that would make sense. Like running really fast, having a sprint that's really accessible because they're going all over the place, and dodge mechanics because [enemies] have a lot of ranged attacks."
-- Atari senior producer Garrett Moehring during a recent demo on how the Xbox 360/PS3/PC version of "Ghostbusters" is different than other third-person shooters.
