Ghost Squad

The Zapper - light gunning the load of arcade lovers everywhere

As well as all that, you can play a competitive two-player game over the same levels. The Zapper is definitely the peripheral of choice, as it won’t make your arms ache quite so badly after a long session. There’s also a training mode that shows off some startling accuracy after the Wii Remote is calibrated. The main game has a cursor for you to steer around, without which it would be doubly hard. But the training mode takes that away and gets you playing by eye. Staring down the barrel of the Zapper, picking off targets with pinpoint precision, is a great way to hone those skills.

Ghost Squad is pure arcade - the kind of thing Sega used to do all the time on Dreamcast. If you’ve ever contemplated dropping a second coin into its big daddy, you shouldn’t hesitate to consider the Wii version.
