Sega's German division wants you to think that playing Ghost Squad on Wii will be like the PS3 award-winning shooter, Resistance: Fall of Man. With Wii Zapper in hand, you'll take down hordes of criminals and terrorists in this rail shooter. Sure, it's not a FPS, nor is it about a sci-fi flavored WWII, nor does it even have aliens. But trust Sega. It's just as good as Resistance. They swear.

They wish it was as good as RFOM.

For a launch title it is. Lets just say that RFOM 2 will make alot of FPS look last gen.

The sequel will be even better - Resistance: rise of Mandy. Featuring a separate co-op campaign with Sally as well.

Anyone stupid enough to put a railshooter in the same category as a 5 star first person shooter, and then call it better, better be ready to deliver. Cause if I find out this railshooter turns out to be some really crappy, underplayed, true-to-nothing arcade quater-sucking-machine adapted for homeplay then I'll be unimpressed. Rail-shooting is just so behind the fucking times. OMG LOOK A SLOW MOVING MISSILE! SHOOT IT DOWN WITH YOUR HAND GUN! (the missile explodes in a subtle flash of spectacular firecracker sized fireworks).

I was just going to post it looks like he had given her a Date Rape Drug, but I think you beat me to it.

Man, I love reading ps3 fanboy's articles. The bloggers sound so god damn cynical all the time. Take a joke?

It's a decent rail-shooter game, but as good as RFoM: fat chance. There are no fun weapons, as a start. Unless you count shooting peas and smashing bananas into enemies' skulls as fun... Thinking a bit more.... none of the R1 fun is present here, by a mile. It's like comparing Resident Evil 4 on GC/PS2 with a Teletubbies-filled sidescroller on GBA. *rolleyes*
Anyway, being a third-party Wii game, it's nice to see it's not the umpteenth pile of vomit. Oh wait, I don't care about the Wii, so it's not "nice" but "whatever".

NB. I haven't purchased a Nintendo console since the GC.

That's funny. I thought this type of "Me-Too" advertising went out in the late 80s - early 90s... Oh well, at least the children with Wiis in Deutschland will be the only ones disappointed. (Fall of Mandy! Sheesh! What's next?)
