fun... but short

Pros Cons
Just plain fun Not enough content
Epic boss fights Repetitive gameplay
Intense action Not enough content

I got this game and expected alot out of it. But I was wrong... sort of. I liked it, but I thought it was way too short. It was very fun, but it does get repetitve :( The co-op play is fun. The grephics arent too good, but acceptable. Overall it was fun even though it only had 3 levels :( It was fun unlocking the costumes and guns though. But this is nothing compared to Combat arms. If you want a fun FPS game, download Comabet Arms at www.nexon.combatarms.net.

TOO Short

Pros Cons
Tight controls Not enough content

With only a few levels this rail shooter suffers from a serious lake of content. It can be fun with 3 of your friends but it is not all that original. I'd say Ghost Squad is an average rail shooter, not as good as Umbrella Chronicles.

If you're looking to grab a cool game, this is the one for you.

When I laid eyes on this game at the arcade, I fell in love. I had completed every mission, only God knows how many times. When it was announced as a port for Wii, I instantly ordered it. *NOTE* All these scores are out of 5. Graphics: 3.50 Simple Wii graphics, not much different from arcade. Gameplay: 4.50 This game rocks. The only thing I didn't like is there are only three missions. *Did he just say three???* Yes, I did. It's so easy to get started, you could hand this over to someone who has never played the Wii before and they would get it. Sound: 3.75 This game makes great use of the Wiimote's speaker. The gunshot's come out of the speaker instead of your TV. Rumble is also used. The voice acting is cheesy, though. Replay Value: 4.75 Sure, there are three missions, but the replay value is high. You have 3 levels of difficulty, which is sure to appeal. And as a Wii exclusive, you can go into party mode, which allows up to four players. With wacky new modes like Ninja Mode (Where every one looks like a ninja, and instead of guns, you shoot shurikens), this game is great for partys. So, if you are having a party with a few people, you should really look into this game. It is a great port of the arcade version.

Ghost Squad

For Christmas this year I got Ghost Squad for the WII because I thought it would be fun. And it is, if you are feeling like going to the arcade but you dont want to bother getting there, this is the perfect game for you. Just make sure you get the WII Zapper first. It adds a certain sense of authenticity to the game that you don't get without the Zapper. Also, it is just plain boring without the Zapper. Another cool feature is that you can compare your score to others around the world via WiFi connection. Overall it is a casual game that is fun if you are in the mood.

The Home Arcade returns

You haven't lived until you've played a game like Time Crisis in an arcade. Picking up the brightly colored gun and blasting away at baddies on an overlarge TV screen is one of the most fun experiences you could possibly have. Now replace the arcade with the comfort of your own living room, and the WiiMote with the brightly colored gun controller - and probably the TV should get a little smaller too. You're in Ghost Squad territory now. I played through this game with the Wii Zapper, which is probably a better choice than the WiiMote alone. The Zapper is heftier and far easier to control, plus it gives you that arcade feel that you just don't get from the WiiMote. Ghost Squad looks and plays exactly like you'd expect an arcade game to, right up to the persistent "Press + to begin" message on the right side of the screen, exactly where player 2 is supposed to stand, and the absolutely pathetic voice acting. All this makes sense, since Ghost Squad's origins are in the arcades, where things couldn't have been much different than this. All the game is missing are the flashing lights and the noise from the racing sims across the room. You have absolutely no control over where your character goes in this game; you're just going along for the ride, blasting away anything that shoots back (and not shooting anybody who has a giant "HELP!" sign over their heads, which is equally critical). The upside is that, when you die - which, unless you've been trained by the Marines, happens often in light gun shooters - you don't need to plug the Wii with quarters to keep playing. Just press a button and you're right back in it. I played this game back to back with another light gun shooter, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, which was also released recently for the Wii and also is compatible the Zapper. And it's hard to say which I prefer. Umbrella Chronicles is far more polished graphically and also a bit harder - Ghost Squad is more fast-paced, if not adrenaline-inducing, and, I suppose, more fun. I suspect that, if I held a party and laid out both of those games, Umbrella Chronicles would draw the most interest at first, but Ghost Squad would end up being more popular. It's more of a party game anyway.
