Went through Ghost Squad with my mom tonight. My brother didn't think she'd like it, but he somehow forgot she really like Time Crisis in the arcades. Not enough to go to the arcades, mind you, but she's played it.

Anyhow, she wasn't quite used to holding the Wiimote like a phaser, but got the hang of it (mostly) by the time we where done. Until then, she kept losing her crosshairs off-screen. Friendly fire was rather accurate, as NPC members of our squad were shot and hostages found themselves gunned down by their rescuers (whoops!), we failed some of the challenges they tossed at us ("Don't shoot the claymore mines!"), but she was laughing and amused.

We unlocked an additional weapon each, and got Ninja Mode unlocked in Party mode. Ninja mode is silly.

So, we wasted maybe half an hour or so, but it was great. More later, definintely.

Makes me wonder how she'd take to playing House of the Dead. Don't think she'd be too keen on zombie blasting, though.
