A Blast for about an hour!

User Rating: 6 | Ghost Squad WII
Ghost Squad is an attempt to bring the popular arcade game into our living rooms the problem is that it lasts for about half an hour if you can mould it into an hour youve made it worth about $10 if you enjoyed the expirence. Only get this game if you love arcade games not because the game is so bad its because the only way to make this worth a full priced is by repeatedly going back to it and replay the minor three missions and getting upgraded guns and weapons, causauls will play the game through a few times to see everything due to the optional tactics.

Gameplay is of course classic. But a little repeatative because of the constant shooting and certain features such as heatvision and disarming a bomb are only used on one occasion in the game because of it's terrible length. To the games credit there are a lot of guns and outfits to unlock which if you love the game and can never get tired of it you may want to try and unlock these. All moving is done for you so shooting is the only control you have.

The story is disjointed and not even present a group of random missions grouped together. All you know is that you are part of the ghost squad, but this is simlar to the time crisis series with no story that really makes sense there is no doubt that you will pay little attention to the story, action is the forte of this game and it plays it safe.

The only way is to possibly lose this game is to fail the boss battles, each level consits of clearing your way through an area follow a few tactics, clear some more, a sniping mission and then boss battle but the games so short that you hardly notice. Getting your mileage out of this this game will be harder than the game itself, a definet rent and only buy if you love the arcade game. BTW the game comes with a package with the wii zapper I reccomend you take this deal as it is compatible with other wii games.
