SEGA today announced they'll be bringing an enhanced port of Ghost Squad, an arcade game originally released in 2004, to Wii. Ghost Squad, an on-rails first-person shooter, sees players commanding a squad of elite soldiers as they attempt to quell evil-doers and their malicious plans. The port will bring ""a number of new Wii-specific gameplay modes and features"". More Inside.
The full storyline is as follows: The world in Ghost Squad is overrun with terrorism, affecting all corners of the globe. In an effort to combat the malicious plans of the terrorist groups, the U.N. created the Global Humanitarian-Operation and Special Tactics Squad aka “Ghost Squad.” This team of elite soldiers is comprised of the “best of the best” from both domestic and foreign military and special operations forces. Ghost Squad missions involve entering a situation with stealth, executing extreme prejudice upon terrorist subjects, and leaving a target area with no trace of their prior presence. The game will see players, you and a squad of three others, traverse three areas each with multiple levels that have alternative routes. It will also include multiplayer mode up to four people. Over twenty five weapons are present in the game, ranging from pistols to a crossbow. “Ghost Squad brings the classic light gun blaster experience that SEGA made popular in the arcades to the Wii,” said Scott A. Steinberg, Vice President of Marketing, SEGA of America, Inc. “With a more robust multiplayer experience than even the arcade version and numerous unlockable items and stages adding replay value, Ghost Squad will be the ultimate shooter experience for the Nintendo Wii console.”
