Ghost Squad stands out from the crowd

Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles may have the power of a big series behind it, and Link's Crossbow Training has that and the whole pack-in thing, but Sega's Ghost Squad has something very important that none of the other Zapper titles can claim: swan-shaped jet skis. We won't know for sure until the games come out, but we feel confident about predicting a lack of swan-shaped jet skis in Crossbow Training and Umbrella Chronicles.

Between these, the dolphin squirt guns, and the be-swimsuited antagonists, Ghost Squad's bonus mode is starting to become very aquatic-themed. It's also becoming very hilariously surreal, and we can't wait to see what else pops up. Oh, Sega. You've already earned our admiration. You had us at dolphin-shaped guns. It's strange, but even more than the Sega fan dream of a NiGHTS sequel, a port is bringing back our long-dormant feelings of Sega fandom.

I hit the arcades a few days ago, and saw Ghost Squad. I wanted to try it, but there were these kids on the machine, and didn't want to wait.

I'm dieing for some light-gun arcade shooter, right now its either MOH or Res Evil UC, or GS.

I've ridden in a swan-shaped paddle boat before, but never a swan-shaped jet ski. Seriously, swans are evil though, so it makes sense that you'd be shooting dudes on them. Have you ever tried to get close to a swan in a park? They won't run, they will murder your face. Oh, they pretend to be all elegant, but they're really the feme-fatals of the animal kingdom.
