decent game

i barley bought this game november 25th 07' it's a simple game similar to those you would play at the arcades. Good game, decent graphics, you just point and shoot while collecting new costumes and weapons, novice gamers will be impressed and it's a cool game to play with a group of people, they could have added more stages but instead they created only three stages with various levels allowing you to see different scenes everytime you visit them. Good game, but not for serious gamers, more of a multiplayer game.

Fun Party game

This game is a lot of fun. It fell a little short having only 3 levels. The graphics on the levels are very nice. They did a good job with gameplay making it so that each time you played was different.
I would recomend this game if you were looking for a simple game that you can just pick up and play. There is no learning curve like in many of the Wii games. You can just pick up the remote and start clicking.
The game is only $30.00 so how can you complain. I hope that in the future they come out with a similar game that is a little longer. The did well though giving the game the arcade shooter feeling!

Short But Fun

I'm going to give this game 3 stars for its 3 levels. Each one is well crafted, with a few twists and turns thrown in to provide variety, but the bottom line is THERE'S ONLY 3 LEVELS!! To its credit, unlockables such as extra guns and costumes provide SOME replayability, as do things like day/night conditions, but it still would have been nice to see one or two extra scenarios thrown in to differentiate this from the arcade version! For the price I'd say its worth picking up if you have the Wii Zapper and are lookin for more stuff to shoot, but beyond that I can't really say this is a MUST HAVE game...

Quick, arcade-style shooter for light gun fans

While being a carbon copy of the Sega arcade cabinet that came out in 2004, (aside from the new online rankings, party mode, etc) the Wii port succeeds in turning your living room into yet another virtual coin-op shooting frenzy. First off, I gave this 3 stars overall because of the actual game compared to other shooters out now and the fact that its more novelty than originality. While being in a genre among genres, an arcade rail shooter, then it deserves 4 stars maybe even 5 for bringing that quick pick-up arcade action to home. The unlockables in this game, i.e. the weapons and costumes, will at least keep you coming back until you unlock them all (there are different types of guns, each having different stats such as ammo count, reload time, etc) Also, the online highscore rankings (like the high scores in any arcade game) leaves you constantly competing with your region as well as the world to get a higher score and of course, trying to become the #1 player in the world (if that matters to you). These small bonuses to the arcade game alone slightly increase some replayability and add to the already good arcade experience (costumes and weapons aren't a new idea, they existed in the arcade version but at least you can save a profile and keep everything you unlock).
Yes, it does have only three levels and this can (and does) lead to the eventual demise of the game, (it will end up being the base support to the tower of unplayed Wii games) but playing it again after some time isn't so bad (the levels do change after advancing in them, becoming more difficult and allowing for different paths). So, having three levels is a no-no nowadays, especially in shooters, but again remember this is an arcade port and if you dig a little light gun, shoot 'em up action every once in a while, and you happen to have a Zapper or any other light gun, then this is a nice addition to your collection.
----As for the light gun, the Wii Zapper seems to be a good option for this game (having the nunchuck aligned with the Wii remote allows for more precise use of the "action" button and the overall steadiness of the Zapper is great for the sniping events). The Nyko Perfect Shot works fine as well but having the action button at "A" is kinda awkward during gameplay. Using a nunchuck in the other hand corrects this by using the "Z" button for "action" instead (like the Zapper, just not in one shell).

Ghost Squad

This game is one of my favorites. It is exactly like the arcade version but this time there are more paths to choose and higher difficulties to choose from. There are a total of three missions which get boring after awhile but the different paths are sort of entertaining. This is where replay value comes. At the end of the campaign you gain experience based on performance... AS your level up you get different outfits and new weapons. I have the panda outfit :) I love playing the game over and over again.

Solid shooting game

If you're a fan of the Time Crisis series, you will enjoy this game. It does get a little predictable after awhile, but what shooting game doesn't? The more you play, the more different paths you unlock, as well as weapons and costumes.

GREAT LIGHT GUN/SHOOTER GAME

This is a great shooter/light gun game. It is easy to pick-up and play, without taking hours to learn controls, etc. It is a bit short, but fun none the less. If you like games like Time Crisis, and House of the Dead, you will like this. A great addition to anyone's Wii library of games!

This game is ok for the price. If you keep beating it, new guns are available. Good game for new players.
