Ghost Squad does not suck, also has online play

Ghost Squad does not suck, also has online play photo
     wii

You know, I thought that Ghost Squad was going to be about shooting actual ghosts, not terrorists. Don't get me wrong, I love terrorism as much as the next guy, but dark skinned men in sunglasses just aren't as exciting as spooktacular phantoms. As sad as the loss of spectre gunplay is, however, it should come as some sort of compensation to learn that Eurogamer has given the title a run through and their hands-on impressions indicate good things for the arcade style blaster.

Along with the potential replay value and gameplay variety, the biggest feature shared by Eurogamer is an online mode. Most likely co-op as opposed to any kind of versus mode (is that possible on rails? Answers on a postcard), I think headset support of some kind would be essential. The Wii really should get to work on that. Either way, Ghost Squad has potential to not be rubbish, so keep an eye on it or I'll kill you.

Ghost squad is an awesome/great arcade game.

Every now and then I'm in the city (Sydney, Australia) and I'll pop a dollar or two in.

I can't see myself liking this game too much, especially with RE:UC just around the corner.

Online co-op is cool though. I hope that becomes the Wii standard from here on out.

Keep an eye on it? Are you kidding me? This is a Wii game that doesn't have the prefix "mini" in front of it, and it isn't a sim or edutainment title. I've been glued to this game since it was announced.

Looks interesting.

I hope they made it longer than the Arcade gmae and added additional weapons and modes.
