Also, from IGN's quickie hands-on:

Quote
but according to SEGA representatives, there will be a calibration portion where you can remove the reticule so you can aim using your eyes.


And with this announcement, real light gun type aiming becomes a reality. I expect more light gun games ported third parties, you're on notice!

They even explicitly state 4-player co-op! YES!!!

Quote
The final version of the game promises four player cooperation, each having their own Wii Remote blaster.


Also, it sounds like the nunchuck has minimal involvement, the analog stick just being used to toggle stuff, so then this might actually be useful!

I wonder how well the crosshairless gameplay will work, since the zapper doesn't look like it has sights, does it?

Also:

The game doesn't look quite as sharp or move as smoothly as its arcade counterpart, but it's a damn close representation.

What?

So has anyone been keeping up with the bonus modes available in this game?

Like Ninja Mode?

Or Paradise Mode (with bikinis, water guns, swan jetskis, and bananas that you stuff down people's throats)?

Well, I haven't been keeping up with this, but either I or my family will be buying this.  We've always liked to play light gun stuff together, so it and UC are on the top of my list for them.  My dad will like this better, I think, I'm not sure if he's into fantasy violence with zombies and stuff, though he did like Area 51.

No one else has this? Thank you, gamefly.

It's the type of game that I might buy at their keep it price just because I can drop this game in front of anyone and they would love it for Paradise mode alone. It's too hilarious not to laugh at.

I picked this up last week. It's AWESOME. Classic light gun fun. Even better with the Wii Zapper.

You can play once through arcade mode, once through ninja mode, and once through paradise mode in under 2 hours. You will want to return to increase your character's "level" and unlock new guns and to explore other paths through levels though.

Oh, and "party mode" is the 4-player co-op mode through the game, which doesn't record your scores for unlocking/ranking purposes, but has access to ninja mode and paradise mode.

Did they succeed in their goal of offering line-of-sight aiming with calibration?

I haven't tried that feature out yet, though it looks like it will actually be tricky because of complications arising from placement of sensor bar and seating position...

The paradise mode has you shooting bikini-clad women with a dolphin squirt gun.

I bought the game for $14 via gamefly since I know that I could entertain any group of male friends with this, especially since you can play it four player.

I have the game, but I refuse to play it until my brother gives me a Wii Zapper. He's making me hold out until Christmas.

Ghost Squad is awesome.

It's got that overly-dramatic 80s action movie vibe that makes me chuckle.  CHUCKLE.

Awesome! I made my brother buy me a Wii Zapper and give it to me today...so I finally got to play Ghost Squad. It kicks a lot of ass. I play without the aiming reticule - the calibration settings are that good. It's like playing a real light gun game. Midway needs to release T2 Arcade on the Virtual Console, with full Wii Zapper support.
