The goal of the game is to scare the humans and pursue your goals of ambition and power to evict all the hapless victims. It combines The Sims with a touch of Scooby-Doo and is filled with creative ways to use the powers of these cleverly designed ghosts.

The first stage entails a tutorial that guides you through the game controls and an in-depth guideline as to how to play the game. A word of advice: complete this mission otherwise the game might take some getting used to.

First choose your team of ghosts from a selection that binds to anything from electricity and emotion, to earth, and then bind your ghosts, depending on their epitaph. Place your ghosts strategically in order to scare the humans. Choose your house and make the mortals play by your rules. The first house is full of sorority girls getting ready for bed and it does not take too much convincing for you to try and scare them.

Intriguingly different, this is a new age game, based along the new trend to provide the gamer with total control to do all that is necessary to enhance game-play. Play as the baddie to see how bad you can really be.

Graphically, the game exceeds most in its class. Audio and sound effects are above average and draw the gamer into the story. The controls are also very accurate.

The story line is much like a movie and you determine all from how it starts until the end. In each house you have ghosts that need to be freed by completing a certain task and ghosts that need your help to become the spook our mothers warned us about.

Ghost Master is a game with a lot to offer. If you have the time and skill, this game has what it takes to keep you enthralled.
