This is an arcade Light gun game. It makes no pretensions to be anything else but a light gun game from the dimly lit 90's Arcades of old. And like an arcade light gun game, your stuck on a rail shooting at the various enemies that conveniently roll out in front of your boomstick. Their are only 3 levels, but they can be replayed over and over again until you get sick of them for higher difficulty. And each time you beat the 3 levels you can receive different weapons and pointless costumes. But gunning down engrish speaking euro-terrorists from the 90s with a six round pistol is not particularly enjoyable. That reminds me of the horrible dialog, its over stating obvious logical truths in a completely hammy way. But I suppose that could be do to the fact that this is clearly a cheap Wii port designed to cash in on the popularity of the console. I did not play the multiplayer because there was no point in doing so, this is a rental game for when you are alone for the weekend and you feel the need to go shoot something. For the actual shooting(when the game stops trying to force feed you a ridiculous story) is responsive and fun. Of course there is annoying bystanders in the way in 2 of the 3 levels, but they don't ruin the shooting too much. So if you do rent Ghost Squad, enjoy it for the 90s indulgence that it is. I would not buy it until it got really cheap, like $20 or below.
