 Sega arcade goodness for the wii zapper January 6, 2008
26 out of 30 found this review helpful
Im a huge fan of light gun style games and enjoying the new life the Wii is giving this genre, so first resident evil umbrella chronicles was a fantastic game and now Ghost Squad and very much looking foward to House Of The Dead 2/3 Return in march.
For those of you that dont know what type of game Ghost Squad is it's a on rails shooting game so bascly the computer controlls where you go and when and leaves you to concentrate on blasting any bad guys jumping out although every now and then you will have to select a option on the screen telling the computer what direction you want to go in, so for instance in the first level you break through a door to a lodge then get to choose if you want to rescue hostages or provide cover for your team each option leads the level in to a different direction, choosing the hostage option you proceide down stairs and need to rescue a certian amount of hostages where as choosing the other option sees you moving along a balcony blasting bad guys and then dismantleing a bomb, there are number of options like this in each of the 3 levels so to see every thing you will need to go back and replay levels, a thing many games now days lack, replay value.
I never played Ghost Squad in the arcades, but there is an arcade port of it as one of the modes. You can have up to two players in the arcade mode, and up to four players in the "party" mode. I have played both with another player, and it was a blast to play. My cousin and I got a great blast out of accidentally killing hostages in the stages where the jump out like the enemies. The more you play through the game successfully, the more difficult the game becomes, and then you start to unlock new costumes and guns for you to be able to select prior to entering the game. That feature is different from many of the Time Crisis games I've played and is more than welcome.
Ghost Squad also has WiFi leader boards so once you compleate the game you can compare your score to other people in your regon or worldwide and it gives you something to aim at again inhancing its replay value.
The graphics in Ghost Squad are not the best avalible on the Wii but they certanly are not bad either so dont go buying the game expecting a visual feast, then again if you have a Wii and expect top graphics you should of probably done your homework before buying the Wii.
So there are a couple of controll methods for ghost squad, either using the Wii zapper(or gun shell alternative) or just the remote. If you use just the remote a target will appear on the screen so you can see what you are aiming at this is the method i have been mainly using for lightgun games on Wii and it works well for me. For those that want to use a gun attachment Ghost Squad allows you to calibrate the remote so you can use it like a light gun you can even make the on screen target dissapear to make it more like the arcade. Although the gun and calibration method works well there are a few issues with it, as the wii works via a senser bar above your tv onec you calibrate the controller you will need to sit in the same postion because if you move the senser will not beable to pick that up and aiming will then be off.
Closing comments
Ghost Squad is a short game but has plenty of replay value, multiple paths, co op modes and loads of unlockables if you are a fan of this type of game its a no brainer PICK IT UP.
i can also recomend it to casual gamers as well has more hardcore ones as although the game may be simple to pick up and play it is difficult to master and even more difficult to get to the top of the worldwide leader boards.
Great Game To Go With Your Wi Zapper January 19, 2008

I just bought this game yesterday to go with my Wii Zapper and it is brilliant. The Zapper works really well with this game and you will be pulling off double/triple hit combos in no time. The game's sound and graphics are also really good and it is like having a mini arcade machine in your living room when you play it.
The game is quite short as in there are only 3 areas to play but you can unlock loads of weapons and costumes which keeps you coming back for more, and for 25 is an all round good buy. Can't wait until House Of The Dead in March/April 2008

No need to go down to the local arcade anymore. Get this game and the arcade comes to you. Its excellent having the gun adapter for this game as it makes it feel abit better than just holding a controller and pressing the buttons. You get abit more into the game. The fast paced shooting gets the Adrenaline pumping. Then you can choose to have the crosshair taken away for more points which is also a good addition.
Anyway overall im really enjoying this game and hope that capcom or nintendo bring somemore games like this out.
Just pure fun January 25, 2008

Excellent, straight-down-the line blasting. 4 players is great but is more of a challenge with just the 2.

A lot of people complain about the length of this games and the predictability of the enemies.
Dont listen!
Ok it has three missions to choose from, but one u complete one mission once you " Level Up" which another path on the level is unlocked with different challanges, enemies shoot at you quicker and some enemies appear with shields.
This keeps happening everytime u complete the mission sucessfully which, is sometimes not easy.
You unlock different costumes and guns.....so if you find the game easy why not give up you automatic rifle and play the game with a pistol HAHA!! complete it then will ya!? :)
Its sooo much fun, you can unlock special modes like ninja mode etc.
This game is sooooo much fun, amazing with a friend.....ive had it since it first came out and i still play it everyday as i still have loads of stuff left to unlock and levels to complete with different weapons.
I love it!
And im sure u will too!
