A few quick tips
Post Via amazon in Wii Games ReviewGhost Squad
This game is a lot of fun to play, and I would highly recommend it. If you decide to pick it up, here are a few quick tips that may be helpful:
1.) I don't know who at Nintendo came up with the crazy idea that the trigger on the front of the zapper (i.e., B button) should be the firing trigger, but this game follows that trend when you select the zapper mode. However, if you choose the Wiimote + Nunchuk mode, it reverses the buttons. In this mode, the button located where a trigger would normally be (i.e., Z button) becomes the trigger, and the B button becomes the action button. It's a lot more fun to play this way. So, if you're using a zapper, don't pick the zapper mode. Pick the Wiimote + Nunchuk mode.
2.) Although this game supports 480p, it does NOT support widescreen. If you play in this mode, everything looks a little stretched out, although it's tolerable. The gameplay itself doesn't look too bad. You really notice it the most when octagon shaped dialog items appear on the screen.
3.) If you have a large TV, this game requires you to be REALLY far back in order to properly calibrate the aim. For my 57 TV, I have to be about 12' back before it will allow me to aim directly at the calibration targets. If you change the TV from widescreen mode to 4:3 mode, it helps a little with the distance.
As a side note, once you do calibrate the aim properly, the aiming is extremely accurate provided that you have a large TV and are using the zapper. In the arcade game, the crosshairs are always jumping around a little, which makes the sniper sessions a little difficult (in a frustrating way, not in a good way). With a large TV and a zapper, the sniper sessions are much easier.
