This is great.

It’s a lightgun game, where the Wiimote acts just like a gun in the arcade. You can keep the aiming sight on the screen if you like, but I found it more fun to turn it off. After a test game with the sight on, that I soon abandoned, I played through the entire game. Normally I don’t use continues, but Ghost Squad is all about repetition, going through the game time and again, unlocking new things, improving scores and having fun.

It’s too soon yet to say if I will play through it enough to unlock everything, but the game I had today was incredibly good fun.

I limited myself to one play through for two reasons. One, I don’t want to gorge myself and get bored of the game too quickly. Two, it makes my hand hurt a lot, probably something to do with the unnatural twisting and turning motions my hands have to make. A Zapper would probably improve that and I can’t help but think that the game would be even more fun pulling a trigger on a gun than it is just using the Wiimote.
