This is a really good game. Its a remake of an arcade game but its a port. Its really good and worth 30 bucks.

Whether it be with friends or by your lonesome Ghost Squad always gives some fun, but thats only if you love light gun games. The three level get a little played out, but you can change their difficulties by completing easy levels. There are also unlockable party modes, weapons, and costumes. The Zapper controls are OK, but they fill better with the one handed zapper. Which is why I have a Zapper that can separate the Wiimote and Nunchuck. Apart from that you can play without a Zapper, but if you want a true light gun experience get a zapper.

This game is awesome!!! This is what the Wii was made for. Its pretty much an arcade shooter, and works great with the Wii Zapper. This is a must-have for Wii owners. You will not be disappointed if you enjoy sitting back and shooting evil terrorists.

A full set of "training missions" and strange level mods can't mask the fact that this is an extremely short, 3-year-old arcade game, although it is one of the few games that feels better when you're playing with the Zapper. Avoid it until there's a price drop.

I havent figured out how to get the friend code, but other than that, its just like the arcade game. I cant believe I got this for only 12 buks @ Target.

I thought i would never get to own ghost squad because it was only in the arcade, but as the arcade scene isn't realy popn any longer sega decided to publish this awesome game to make some revenue. This game is fun to play with friends but really isn't a challenge or that much fun to play by yourself. So go and rent this game or buy it if you have the cash and are a fan of the series.

A good game entertainment wise, but it really does get boring. BUT the multiplayer action makes it worth spending that cash on. also, the Wii zapper makes the game all worth it.

one of the dissapointing things was the fact that it is considered an online game. where in fact, it is not really online. sure you can update rankings and see where you are positioned, but it is not a true online experience. you dont actually get to be in the game with other players.

pleasantly surprised w/this title.
for 30 bucks you really cant complain.
story is late 90's era arcade. i.e. hokey,but in a good way.

It's very short and repetative, but great so far as rail shooters go.

Pros:
Is a good game starts out u only have one gun and uniform but as you do better u get new guns and costumes along with other additional stuff to levels. also has some cool modes for the party mode and supports up to 4 players.
Cons:
Only 3 levels i know its supposed to be about an arcade game i never herd of but they could have added some more levels.Should have added an online co-op mode.

I actually had a lot of doubts about playing this game let alone buying it but when I did I was suprisingly amazed.A must have and buy.I recommend that you go to Newegg.com and buy the Wiimote gun attachment.That will take this game to whole new levels.

Like this better then house of the dead.... Both great games, but GS has on-line ranking. Not to mention with 3 young children around..... Well, zombie death just didn't work to well. And yes I know it has a M rating.

Fun to play, but very short. If you do get it, you must get the Zapper, Blaster, or the Perfect shot. Other wise it's just not as fun.

IMO, perhaps the best Wii Zapper game out there. Arcade style light gun shooter that expands as you successfully complete the missions. The mini-game like situations which come up in various areas offer a nice break from the monotone point & shoot that normally make up an on rails shooter. While the Party Mode is near pointless, it still provides unique modes which just shows the team behind the game had fun during it's creation.

A lightgun arcade game ported to the perfect console for lightgun games. This one has a cliche storyline about a secret military unit called the Ghost Squad fighting terrorist to rescue hostages or save the president. It also has the bad voice acting people have come to expect from any lightgun game. It also has unique gameplay that requires you to snipe at distant enemies and counter enemy melee attacks by aiming at the enemies arm and hitting the "action" button. It also has many unlockable weapons and costumes and alternate branches in stages that gives the player many reasons to keep playing, but overall its just not as fun as other lightgun games on the Wii like House of the Dead or Resident Evil UC.
