Ghost Squad (Wii)
236So here comes the belated description...
This is Ghost Squad, an AM2 Sega Chihiro (Xbox hardware) arcade game originally released in 2004 and now finally on the Wii circa 2008. While this sadly shows it is yet another highly entertaining light gun game from Sega.
What I like about Ghost Squad in particular is that it doesn't take itself seriously. At all. This could be said about the more recent House of the Dead Overkill but I think Headstrong Games knew ultimately they were making an awesome 70s B-Movie into a game without realising it.
Ghost Squad for the most part plays like Virtua Cop with a sub-machine gun. You move about around each stage automatically while relying on fast reflexes to kill enemies, save hostages, disarm bombs and pick up any bonuses along the way. Thanks to the arcade game's preference of a bulky SMG, this game also unsurprisingly works really well with the Wii Zapper and I highly recommend you use one - especially if you intend to play the training missions sans cursor.
Anyway I think Ghost Squad is well worth a try. It runs like a charm on the Wii's hardware, has some hilariously camp dialogue too, and while maybe on the short side of things, can be picked up with ease for less than £20 now.
