Ghost Squad for Nintendo Wii
This is a fun shooter, although quite short. It's a perfect port of the arcade game. Only three levels to play.... Not a whole lot of replay value.

Would be more fun if 2-player actually worked
I bought this game specifically for the two player co-op. Imagine my frustration when the game simply refuses to recognize another wiimote. Even though our extra wiimotes are fully charged, calibrated, and in fact often used in Wii Play and Wii Sports, when it comes to this game it's like they don't exist. Efforts to have other people enter the game just cause the wiimotes to flash and then give up, despite annoying directions to just hit the "+" to join the game. A web search indicates this is not unique to my system, but is a problem with the game itself.

Really fun!
Though extremely short. It's an arcade game with 3 levels. That's all. But soo much fun. You go through them over and over agian gaining new guns and outfits as you level up.

Sometimes it will be night time and sometime daytime. You'll have fun trying to get all 100 percent in the game as there are different routes you can take each time.

With a gun peripheral ,it's like being in the arcade when you are waiting for your movie to start. Good game.

Ghost Squad - Sega's answer to Namco's Time Crisis series

I've been a huge fan of the Time Crisis series since I played the first one in arcades in the mid 90's. Since many new TVs won't accept the PS1 & PS2 Guncon light guns I've been out of luck for the past few years since switching to LCD TVs. Luckily Nintendo & Sega are here with a great game called "Ghost Squad" which is very similar to, and in some cases directly lifts (boat stage), elements of Time Crisis.

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. As a matter of fact, it gives Ghost Squad a great deal of replay value!

Ghost Squad is definitely a keeper for a light-gun-game addict, but there is one thing the reader must be warned about. If you are expecting the accuracy of the Namco Gun-Con, you are going to be sadly disappointed. The WiiZapper still obviously uses the Wiimote, which uses the sensor bar. Any accuracy issues you have with the Wiimote, you're going to have with any Wii gun games. You can't shoot by feel like you do with the Gun-Con, you do have to use the on screen aiming. This is the only thing that detracts from the experience, but it is an issue with modern gaming and the Wii system. In that way, it does not represent this fun game, which is why I give it a full 5 stars.

Loads of fun for all ages!
This game gave me reason to purchase two Wii Zappers. The kids in the neighborhood love to play it even when they fail missions. We play in HD and Pro Logic II and the sound is great as well. Highly recommend this game for with the zapper.

Modern Virtua Cop
This game reminds me so much of the Virtua cop and Virtua squad games from back in the day, I used to love those games and play them over and over trying to beat my score. I like the fact that you can calibrate the wiimote to get it to work more accurately then other wii shooter games. I tried it with the wii zapper but found it easier with out it.
