Ghost Squad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ghost Squad is the first in a possible series of light-gun arcade games on the Sega Chihiro arcade board. While Sega released Ghost Squad in 2004, Sega plans to release Ghost Squad Evolution in 2007.
Like other Chihiro light-gun games, Ghost Squad uses a "unique" light-gun. The weapon is shaped like an submachine gun, with two separate triggers, and a switch to flick. It also uses a support to rest on the shoulder, as the gun is very heavy. Ghost Squad's main feature is its attempt to recreate a console first-person shooter for arcades. There are several different weapons to choose from, as well as several firing modes for each. The levels are semi non-linear, with choices to be made in each.
The player can also change the environmental appearances, such as the jungle. There are three missions: two in jungles, and one in the Airforce One. There are many sub-activities in the game, such as defusing bombs and throwing grenades to disable armor.
There is also a data card available that players can buy (at some arcades) and to save their customized character and score.
