Ghost Squad

Ghost Squad is what the Wii has been asking for, a good arcade port. It is a light gun game that can be controlled with either the remote or the zapper. The game is split up into 3 modes. Arcade is just the arcade port with data slots but more about that later. Party is a mode designed for 4 players and is just a tweaked version of the port, but with two hilarious comedy modes: paradise and ninja. Ninja sees you with your gun shrunken and grenades changed to sushi, but the best is that all the enemies are now ninjas. Paradise is essentially the same idea but, your gun is turned into a dolphin water pistol, and knifes to bananas. This time enemies are changed to girls in bikinis (but the thing the developers left out was to change all the male sound effects XD)

The final mode is training and sees you either with 10 bullets, picking off one target as quickly and as accurately as you can - a normal gun picking off targets in different stages (a bit like Link’s Crossbow Training I suppose) - or a standard run through a basement in a time limit.

There have been a lot of people complaining that it is too short, but they didn't count on one thing: Replay Value. As I mentioned earlier, the "saved data" isn't just your high scores - you gain experience like an RPG and level up. Levelling up gives you access to more and more weapons, and costumes. Despite being a on rails shooter doesn't mean it has to be serious. Like I said before the ninja and paradise modes are funny but the costumes can be even funnier, imagine seeing a government squad being lead by a bloke in a panda suit. I have also heard a lot of people say "What's the Wi-Fi then" well unfortunately it is just an online leader board. Despite this it is still a great game.

mr.wii

It is a pretty food por and is really good at what it is supposed to do.

I would of given it 78% as I just dont see the point in replaying through games, though Ghost Squad is always an "Sure, lets have a quick go!" with my friends when they come over.
