Ghost Squad
« on: May 10, 2007, 05:10:42 PM »

Some Sega lightgun game that allows for four players (doesn't say if this mode's co-op, but there is at least 2-player co-op).  Apparently it's a lot like Virtua Cop.

This makes two lightgun style games for Wii now, yes?  I am pleased.

Co-op is a WONDERFUL THING!!!

...and seriously, this game should've come out by now. I have no idea why people are dragging their feet on such obvious, cheap, and markettable releases. Maybe UbiSoft can make their own light gun game and pack-in a pun-shell that costs $20 extra?

Oh, but I've actually heard that Ghost Squad is apparently a very good game, and we can see from the link (and elsewhere) that it's not just shooting but multiple paths, Quick-Time Events, and semi-random enemy patterns... oh, and bomb defusing.

I played this at Dave & Buster's last year.

Good substitute for Time Crisis, and good way to kill time while exercising your useless trigger finger muscles that got tired of playing phailed Wii WWII shooters.

I'm a game tech and work on this one all the time.

Pretty fun game though, and yes it pretty much is run off a dreamcast. In the arcade it uses a Naomi board, which is almost exactly like a DC except it has twice as much system and graphics memory.

On a side note, I really wish Sega would have designed the guns a little better..the damn things always break.

Cool  Donut007, THe place I work sometimes provides fans and power supplies for a local game service company. Is Golden Tee Golf still the most popular game?

Every bar with a few arcade machines usually has a Golden Tee somewhere in that collection, even though I've never seen anyone play it before.

Well Golden Tee is still popular in some places, mainly bars and such. But as far as arcades go, it doesn't get too much play anymore. It's one of those have to own games, but it's never on our top 10 list. Actually Ghost Squad is always in our top 5, the rail shooters seem to always be a favorite. HOD4, and TC4 are always up there too.

Yeah I've played Ghost Squad a few times at an arcade near my school.  I'd say its just as good as Time Crisis, I would play it more but the thing is like $1 to play.  I've never really played the game to know how much there is to it, but the NWR report says there is only 3 levels, wtf?

Well in the arcade version it only has three levels...well it kinda has nine levels.

Each level has three different versions, basically an easy, medium, hard type settings, but they have different paths and such so it's not just more enemies.

IGN Wii: For the Wii version specifically, what has gone into the game that wasn't included previously in Ghost Squad? Are there any new modes or gameplay elements?

Yosuke Okunari: This time, the game supports four-player gameplay. The two-player gameplay of the arcade version is very exciting, but we want the Wii users to play Ghost Squad when inviting friends and playing games with four friends.

They don't specifically say there'll be 4-player co-op.  In fact, this answer seems to me to suggest that there might not be.

IGN Wii: How does the four-player multiplayer work on Wii? How is this different from the main game?

Yosuke Okunari
: I can't tell you the details yet, but we want to offer enjoyment of competing skills with friends other than just the co-op mode similar to the two-player multiplayer of the arcade version.


The wording is kind of awkward.  To me it sounds like they're adding some competitive mode for 4 players, either in addition to a 4-player co-op mode, or instead of 4-player co-op.

I don't really care either way, as long as there's 2-player co-op.
