Rated “T” for “Teen”
When the terrorists attack, call on the Ghost Squad for help. Ghost Squad first stole your quarters back in 2004. Now they ask for 120 quarters (plus tax) to help you defend your Wii from those nasty terrorists.
Not much to really say for a light gun game. You point, you shoot, and things on the screen blow up and/or die. That’s exactly what you’ll get from Ghost Squad. See a terrorist, shot them. They’ll shoot back at you whether you kill them or not. See a hostage…try NOT to shoot them. They’re good and don’t do anything to you other than get in the way sometimes and that’s usually what leads to their death. It’s entirely your fault that they get shot, not the terrorists.
One different thing that Ghost Squad does offer are multiple paths. Sure, there are only 3 real levels in the game, but the number of paths you can take in each one add a lot of replayability. Do you want to offer your team back up or be the one to go in and raid? Use your night vision or use your thermal vision? Is the president in the left, center, or right cottage? They’re not all there from the start. You have to play more, go through a few different paths, and beat levels to cause them to get harder.
Another thing Ghost Squad does differently is the action commands you do. They’re nothing complicated. When prompted, you’ll be told to use your fists to avoid close-up enemy attacks or do other jobs such as defusing bombs.
More reason to play are for unlockables. As you play arcade mode, you gain experience points to level up your squad leader. The higher your level is, the more you unlock. All there is are new guns to play with and different outfits to look…good in.
Want more fun? The Wii offers. Ghost Squad offers Party mode to play with 4 squad members together. Do everything you can in the
So Ghost Squad doesn’t do anything great, but it doesn’t do anything bad. It’s a great light gun game to add to your Wii collection. Using the Wii Zapper or a different gun peripheral (Wii Wheel Gun, yes) is a definite plus and feels really natural. It’s fun shooting simulated terrorists alone or with your friends. Grab your guns and shoot till you can’t shoot anymore…or till you beat the game in about an hour. But after that grab your guns and shoot till you can’t shoot anymore a few more times.
Rated 3 out of 5

I always wonder if arcade ports like this are worth playing because they are normally so short and difficult. At least they added in some extra content.
