Ghost Squad is a Wii port of the 1990s arcade game of the same name. Its a light gun game compatible with any number of Wii Peripherals, though not WiiMotion Plus. Updates are essentially a shot in the arm to graphics, a target-shooting training mode, unlockable weapons and skins, and a new High Score System. Nothing spectacular, but it does help to bring the whole thing together. This is definitely an excellent example of a 'so bad its good' title. The plot of Ghost Squad is possibly the thinnest of any game, even any arcade game. Here is every single detail of Ghost Squad's truly film-worthy premise; THE TERRORISTS are trying to assassinate THE ...  Read the complete review

Ghost Squad (Wii). This game is a re-release of (I think) an arcade game from the 90's. It's a laser type first person point and shoot games like House of the dead and Virtua cop. The game makes good use of the IR capabilites of the wiimote (it's better if you buy a plastic gun adaptor though, feels more authentic) and is good fun to play. As with most of these games you just keep shooting, and shooting and shooting, point off screen and shooting to reload. There's pickups available in the form of health or different weapons and in addition to the many hundreds of bad guys there's hostages you either have to save or (accidentally of ...  Read the complete review

Introduction The ghost squad is a top-secret special forces unit assembled by the United Nations. 'GHOST' stands for Global-Humanitarian-Operation and Special-Tactics, and the elite soldiers execute humanitarian operations throughout the world. The unit is responsible for sensitive missions that are out of the conventional armed forces' realm. All of their missions must be quickly completed without leaving a trace. They are unsung, unseen warriors who fight in the shadows to defend world peace. My Opinion This game is a great shoot um up game, there are three different modes, training, arcade and party all of these modes have lots of different ...  Read the complete review

*Primarily played in multiplayer.* The N64 and GameCube missed out on light gun action, but it's a genre which in theory, should feel at home on the Wii. I've not had the chance to play Ghost Squad with the Zapper though. Accuracy is awarded in this game - as an example, aiming, playing without the reticle, see to double points scoring. Infinite continues, along with rapid-fire weapons and player score resuming doesn't bode well for sustained interest. Neither is there being only three missions - the game taking under an hour to finish - but they've milked the most out of these, what with the multiple routes for unlocking and increasing difficulty ...  Read the complete review

Ghost squad is a great arcade shooter title, similar to House of the Dead and Virtua Cop. The game isn't too serious and I don't think players should take it too seriously either as it is a good game that reminds you of your arcade shooting days. The game is good fun but gets very repetitive after a while of playing as you basically have to complete the same 3 missions but with unlockable content every time you complete something new so after about an hour or two of playing you are very tired of the game. The game works by moving you along the course automatically and you have to shoot at targets that keep popping up. Each time you play a level you ...  Read the complete review
