That sounds eerily similar to the late '90s Extreme Ghostbusters cartoon, only that had Egon in the instructor role, which makes more far more sense than Peter doing it. Plus, I've read that the main reason there was never a Ghostbusters III was because Bill Murray had no interest in reprising the character. Also, a few years ago, a company was trying to make a line of Ghostbusters action figures, but Bill Murray wouldn't give his consent to let them use his image, so I'm surprised he would let it be used for this game.

I remember reading an interview with Harold Ramis, in which he described his and Dan Aykroid's draft script for Ghostbusters III as "Ghostbusters Go to Hell", that took place not on Earth but on a bizarre and spooky afterworld, but the reasons for not doing the third film was: 1- They felt they have aged too much to do a Ghostbusters again, 2- Bill Murray expressed no desire in reprising his role, and 3- They were unhappy with the script. Perhaps now that Rocky 6, Indy 4 and Rambo 4 are out or being produced, the studios might want to pick that idea up.
