Ghosthunter
You can't really call this a shooter, I mean -- they are ghosts. "They are dead, Jim".
Anyway, you do have some paranormal devices to slow them down and capture them.
The main character, Lazarus (raised from the dead?) is part of a two person police team
sent to investigate strange goings on at an abandoned school -- a site of some gruesome
murders years ago. Lickety split, Lazarus discovers a laboratory and accidentally
unleashes hoards of angry ghosts -- one of which snatches his buddy.
However, all is not lost. Lazarus, in the process of unleashing the ghosts becomes imbued
with paranormal powers, plus a friendly flying ghost who attaches herself to him and helps
him. This is just the beginning of a ghost hunt through school, sunken ship and spooky
haunted swamp. While as a cop he has the standard issue of firearms, the most effective
weapons are those which are activated by ghost energy. As for the ghosts -- there are
plenty. The Revenants and the Howlers can take the shape of diaphanous shades and
unless attacked by many of them can be easily captured if you are quick with the ghost
grenade. But there are more powerful ghosts with unanticipated demonic powers that will
put Lazarus to the test. The game for Halloween -- and beyond..
