well I got Ghost Squad and the Zapper package today, and I'm confused about why people say the Zapper is "uncomfortable". Everyone I've ever talked to about it said it was uncomfortable. I for one thought it was great, my front (right) hand was sore for like the first 5 minutes, but after a little while it was fine, nd it really improved my gameplay experience, I'm gonna start using it for Red Steel and MoH:V with the nunchuck detached just because it feels so much more in the game. It was a little bit tricky to put together, took maybe 3 minutes, but once you know what to do, it's pretty easy, plus, if you're gonna do something that only requires the WiiMote, getting it out is really easy, just a little eject lever. The Nunchuck is the kinda tricky part, but like I said before, once you get used to it and know what to do, it's a matter of seconds.
So that's the Zapper... Onto the Crossbow Training
This is probably my biggest disappointment of the purchase... It was fun for like the first 3 levels, and it was kinda interesting, but got old really fast... Defender was kinda fun, but the target shooting felt almost exactly like Wii Play Shooting Range, right down to the cursor. The Ranger mode was interesting, I was surprised at how easy it was to use the analog stick with the zapper, I was thinking it would feel awkward, but it was just fine. The difficulty level was pathetic though, I would usually reach 70,000 (in order to get the best trophy, you need 80,000) after the first round.
On to Ghost Squad...
My Favorite part... Ghost Squad was amazing in just about every way imaginable. It felt right out of the arcade. People always complain that there are only 3 levels, but there's several levels of replay-ability. For instance, if you do good on a level, a number below it increases, it's the level's level, if that makes sense. For every level, the difficulty increases and more paths or routes become available. You can also earn a plethora of new weapons and costumes, and there's Ninja and Paradise Mode, which change the costumes of all the enemies, just fun little modes to mess around with. Then there are leaderboards, whenever yu get a high score on your account, you can upload your score via the Wi-Fi service. You can view the scores for local (your machine), regional, or worldwide. The Graphics aren't anything nearly impressive, they're straight out of the arcade game, so you know what to expect. Party Mode lets you play with up to 4 people, which is really rare for an arcade shooter. I haven't tried playing without the zapper, but with the zapper, it's really great. I'd recommend this to anyone who likes On-Rails Shooters.
Zapper: 7/10
Crossbow Training: 4.7/10
Ghost Squad: 8.8/10
I didn't ask for this to be posted in the reviews since I just kinda threw this together, not very official
EDIT: Oh crap >.< what the crap is "Zaspper?" stupid typos lol
