It has nigh-on perfect aiming, hilarious and fun levels, longevity through skill progression and variety not normally seen in an arcade game.
Most first-person shooters are over after 10-15 hours. It'll be at least twice that before you see all that Ghost Squad has to offer. Its brevity on paper is not a curse, but a blessing.

This is an amazing port of the arcade classic. The port is pretty much arcade perfect, and it even adds new weapons and a party mode, which lets you either play as ninjas or use squirt guns against bikini babes! There are new costumes as well, so you can kill terrorists while dressed as a panda if you wanted to. Given how cheap this game and fun this game is nowadays, you should definitely pick it up, especially if you loved the classic rail shooters like Virtua Cop and The House of the Dead

A faithful console port **** arcade game, Ghost Squad is an enjoyable way to spend some time either single player or multiplayer. Despite being a rail shooter, Ghost Squad breaks the typical mold in a few ways. First, there are several rails, and the game gives the player the choice. At key points in each mission, the player is able to choose which direction or strategy to take, and the choice does affect the game. With the Wii version, as you complete more playthroughs, you will unlock additional decision points and/or options for existing decision gates. The other way in which Ghost Squad differs from the usual rail shooter is the existence of multiple pseudo-minigames, such as disabling mines or disarming bombs. The variety of missions available keeps the game from getting boring, and the various training and competition modes available, combined with co-op multiplayer for the main game, mean that there are tons of fun to be had with friends. The only negative mark for the game is that the missions replay exactly -- enemies always appear in the same places and attack in the same patterns. With enough repetition, these patterns will be learned and reduce some of the fun of the game. Even considering that weakness, though, Ghost Squad is definitely worth the purchase, particularly as it is now generally bargain-bin material.

Ghost Squad is a culmination of hits and misses, forming a package that succeeds because of its quirky charm and traditional gameplay.
At around 30 bucks, Ghost Squad is a great addition to your library if, and only if, you are into light-gun games that aren't heavy on the realism (ie, most of them). It's absurd and comical, and those aren't necessarily bad things. In our case, we certainly had no trouble laughing our way through some surprisingly entertaining light-gun action.
It's funny for a minute or two, but still… thirty bucks is a lot for three levels and a few giggles.
As things stand, not only does Ghost Squad feel completely archaic on a number of levels, it offers very poor value for money.
Sega had the obligation to work harder on this conversion, at least with new levels for the game, since the three maps aren’t event connected between them. Being as it is, Ghost Squad is a mere conversion, feeling incomplete in form and substance. [March 2008]
Efficiently executed light gun shoot 'em up based upon an arcade game and as such is rather brief but reasonably good fun while it lasts.

Very short: only 3 levels. Also keep in mind that it's an arcade-style rail shooter. It has some replay value because there are different routes you can take. You unlock new routes and guns by playing over and over again. There's supposedly a bikini mode that you unlock by maxing out your weapon levels to level 99 or something, but nobody should ever want to play this game for that long. My brother was obsessed with this game but even he couldn't bring himself to get even halfway there.
But this game is fun to make fun of. I have a lot of inside jokes with my brother about this game.
