A game whose widescreen method is "Native" is a game where enabling widescreen can be done entirely from the in-game options menus. A game can only be considered "Native" if there is no way to improve the widescreen support externally. For example, if a game supports widescreen resolutions natively, but is vert- this way, and it is possible to make it hor+ via editing the .ini file, it cannot be considered Native.
Ghostbusters: The Video Game is a 2009 cross-platform action game based on the Ghostbusters film franchise.

As a PS2 game ported to the PC, this budget title from 2008 looks and feels pretty dated, but it is natively Hor+ nonetheless.

Certain events will trigger cinematic sequences that involve Turok executing his opponent in graphic fashion. Other events involve pressing button combinations to fight off an attack and survive.
