5 Stars Ghost Squad = FUN
Ghost Squad is kinda a resemblance to Time Crisis with the characters and game play kinda looking like Counter Strike. I like this game and I think it’s the 2nd Best Game I own from the Wii Sports and I’ve only had my Wii for less than a week now.

2 Stars Too Short To Fully Enjoy
I bought this product because it allowed 2 shooters at once. Maybe it’s me, but I haven’t been able to figure out how to do that, after repeated tries, yet. The game only has 3 levels (or maps). After that, there’s no more. The levels that are there, are well done and of arcade quality. I just can’t give it a high rating since it just doesn’t provide “bang” for the buck due to its very short duration and lack of replay value. It does work very well with the SureShot handgun.

4 Stars Multi-Player Fun
This game is perfect for multi-player game play. I would suggest this game for group players.

5 Stars Entertaining, kids love it
Hi, we used this game on our Wii system. It is a nice shooting game that will keep you entertained for hours.

Must have if you like Action and 1st person shooting games.

5 Stars Ghoast Squad
Quick action and non-stop. Love that you can continue even after you are shot so you don’t have to start all over again. Gives you a chance to play through the whole game. Also, the voiceover is short so you are not waiting forever to get to the next set. Well made, easy to play and lots of variations.

3 Stars Wii Ghost Squad
It’s a fun game when you first start to play but with only three missions it starts to be the same thing over and over. Good shooter game, wii needs more of those but I think so far this is one of the better ones, wish it had more different types of levels

1 Star Crapola
One of the worst shooters. If you dont have Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicals, get that.

1 Star Way too short
This game is rally fun for untill you beat the three levels in the game! They have basicly the same three levels but change it to nighttime instead of day to pass as another level. I’m talking the same enemies in the same places, same mission. In Japan this game comes with the zapper so it is meant to be a quick short cheap game, but th en they sold it sepratly in the US as a full priced game. Unless you like to waste money, do not get this game.

5 Stars Simple shooting game – Loads of fun
Other reviews give this game negative comments but we love it. We’re not big gamers so we just wanted something simple to play that friends can play instantly when they come over. We tried the Looney Tunes shooting game, mistakenly assuming that would be simple but there were 2 remotes, 4 buttons, button combos, the joystick plus you could shake the remotes. It was too much. We just wanted something fun and easy. Ghost squad is that. All of our friends have also liked it (40ish women).

4 Stars Good replay.. Many alternate scenarios!
I really have enjoyed this game. Usually an on rails shooter like this does not have much replay, But Sega did a great job of giving you plenty of reasons to keep revisiting the missions. Branching missions, improve your rank and times etc. Which causes the game to change the scenarios each time you play through it. Cool little things. Example: one time you may go through a room that is lit normally but next time you’ll use smoke screen and have to used night vision to see through the smoke. Another time the enemies may mix it up and attack in different ways. Also you acquire many different types of weapons that will change the strategies you’ll need to use. I also like that you can get in and out of this game for a quick bit of play when you don’t have allot of time but ya need some action. It’s great game for 2 players. You can set the options individually for each player to compensate for a younger or inexperienced player. I found I prefer the Nyko Perfect Shot to the Nintendo Zapper with this game.. It’s just easier to aim with it. You can play with just the Wii Remote if you chose but it kinda diminishes the fun factor.

5 Stars Excellent Game
I have a 5 year old son who’s not into blasting people away. But since this are terrorists, he loves it. My wife loves it too and in the multiplayer option you just can’t miss. You’ll find hours of entertainment with different missions, different places, different costumes…. it’s great. I highly recommend it if you love to play arcade games. I don’t have a zapper, but I guess it’s better with it.

2 Stars Multiplayer problems
The multiplayer mode is a major feature of this game but the game will not recognize my second remote. All other Wii games recognize the other remote in multi player mode. Ghost Squad just flashes when I press the + button on the second remote. Without the multiple player feature, this game is not worth purchasing. I have not seen any resolutions to the problem of recognizing a second remote.

1 Star it sucked!
this is probably the worst game in the world there r only 3 missions. after u beat them it is so boring. DO NOT BUY I WASTED MY MONEY ON A PIECE OF JUNK!!!!!!!!. U cant even move around. iT DOES IT FOR U. not a impressive game!!!!!!!!!

5 Stars Great Game
My girlfriend and I love this game. I also own House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return, and its great to have two awesome shooting games for Wii. Just as I did in my review for HotD, I highly recommend picking up the Wii Perfect Shot Gun for use in this game.

I like unlocking weapons and costumes, it adds some replay value to the game. I also like the fact that you have an infinite ammount of continues (Although in HotD, I get more satisfaction when I win on my set ammount of lifes).

Skipping cutscenes is annoying if you are using the Perfect Shot (and probably the zapper). I only hold the Perfect Shot with one hand, and the action button (skip cutscene button) is the a button, so its usually annoying to push. It is also awkward to do the action scenes in the game, and change shot type, but its something that I can get used to.

There are a few mini games under the training section which are pretty fun to play. I haven’t tried out party mode yet, but I’ve heard good reviews about it.

5 Stars Great “Shooter” For The Wii
“Ghost Squad” is a very enjoyable shooting game! My son and I liked to play the arcade version together and the Wii game brings the same enjoyment into our living room. The missions are very fun and are certainly challenging enough. There are some hidden “easter eggs” in the game (the “Panda Suit” is a hoot, and there are many others).

Use the WiiRemote by itself is difficult to get accurate shots so my son likes to use Wii Zapper with Link’s Crossbow Training and I prefer the Wii Perfect Shot Gun . Our accuracy was much improved using these guns!

Highly recommended!
