Ghost Squad Round Up

Trailer

I can remember playing this in the arcade a few years back and actually a few months ago (at Dave & Busters) it’s a really fun game. In the arcade I always played solo, so I’m definitly looking forward to playing this two player with my friends and/or wife. The controls on this are really tight and with the Wii Zapper this is going to make for one hell of an arcade experience at home.

“With Ghost Squad, it’s all about taking the old with the new. The game’s core may be taken directly from the 2004 arcade (one that you could still go drop quarters in and come out saving a ton of cash), but it’s still a solid starting point for more weaponry, multiple levels of difficulty for each stage, and two new party modes in Paradise and Ninja mode, not to mention first-ever four player support and Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection for online ranking. If you’ve got a friend (or two, or three) and get into ripping through each of the 16 arrange modes per level, however, there’s far more to see. Some decent IR calibration also enters the mix for the first time on Wii, and the outcome is a semi-accurate light-gun mode with no need for a cursor. As a core shooter experience we’d put Ghost Squad over Umbrella Chronicles. For light gun fans Ghost Squad is a must play though, and at $30 it won’t break the bank to purchase this one. At the end of the day, Ghost Squad is simply a fun arcade experience, and certainly worth a look.” – IGN
