The game's story is minimal and the cut scenes are hilariously cheesy but it all comes across as campy and fun rather than pathetic.

Pros

  • Lots of unlockable content, fast action means twitch gamers with itchy trigger fingers should definitely apply

Cons

  • Limited number of levels, game will probably wear thin after a few playthroughs

Bottom Line

Lacking in depth and substance, Ghost Squad relies on trigger happy gamers content to play the same levels again and again.

Ghost Squad only has a handful of levels but there are a lot of branching paths and unlockable content, which helps replayability; you'll probably hit the wall a lot faster with this game than with Chronicles, though. Still, while it's still fresh, the game is pretty fun. It relies more on twitch skills with a quick pace and enemies that literally jump into your line of fire. It's a more manic experience than the slow and methodical Chronicles so pick whichever one suits your play style more.

There's also four player multiplayer modes -- sweet -- and the ability to upload your scores to online leader boards -- also sweet. The multitude of unlockable costumes and weapons also help but again, the game will be constrained by its small number of levels. While it lasts, though, the game is a fun and enjoyable way to blow off some steam; light-gun junkies should definitely take a look at this one.
