Short and ridiculous but great fun with a friend and contains some replay value
This is clearly a low budget release. Animations are poor, the graphics aren't brilliant and it's a very short game. You'll have no issues beating it quickly. It is however, good fun and quite charming, particularly if you have someone to play it with.It's a port of the arcade game with an additional mode or two that serve as little more than slight modifiers for the game. It's on rails, you shoot enemies as they pop out of cover, you reload as you run out of ammo and fight the occasional boss. The game is interesting in that throughout levels, you'll encounter options for which paths to take which gives the game replay value, and there's a few extra hazards thrown into some levels.You may have to avoid shooting hostages as they run in front of enemies and jump out of nowhere just as an enemy would whilst at the same time trying to save them. You may have to cut the wire to disarm a bomb or freeze and neutralise mines. That's most of them, actually, but it's still decently fun nonetheless.I have to recommend playing this in co-op as like in most games, it makes things more enjoyable and it becomes much easier to forgive its flaws. Overall though, it's just good fun to play a light gun style game. It's a rare type of game these days.The main flaw I'd bring up is the questionable mode that unlocks when you beat the game the first time. It changes everything to a beach theme with players and squad members firing little dolphin guns that squirt water. Grenades become bananas and doors change to a tropical, holiday theme with the odd beach themed detail scattered about. Enemies become ridiculous with standard ones turned into women in bikinis who moan loudly when hit by water. On the other hand, the male bosses are in ridiculous outfits with thongs as well and things like helicopters are bright pink with a few other details in there.It's questionable in one way, ridiculous in others and really quite bizarre. I can't say it's not amusing though. If you're into cheesy games that don't take themselves too seriously and focus more on replay value than sheer length then I would recommend trying this game out, particularly if you have someone to play it with. Just don't go in expecting a long, grand adventure and you'll be fine.

Very good firstie light gun game generation for wii !!
This is a good light gun game for the wii !!I did not fully know what to expect and my experience was in time crisis .The missions are good and I liked rescueing the President of the United states . The graphics are fine and the only real davidinator perceived downs sides are the lack of control (so far) in player movement which could have been improved by shooting arrows on screen to go a particular direction , or pistol with built in nunchuck .I will look forward to getting newer light gun games on the wii .

An old school on the rails shooter. This game ...
An old school on the rails shooter. This game provides an intense action packed experience, with multiple routes, upgradable weapons and costumes with the option to play with up to 4 friends.Despite this the game completely lacks any real depth and with only 3 levels this game has a very short lifespan, a couple of hours to complete.

Ghost Squad is a Awesome game! It has Quick Time Event Sequences, which makes the game play at a faster pace!
