Ghoul Panic, originally an arcade game that saw a PlayStation release, is a light gun shooter that delivers a fast-paced, comical horror experience. Players use light guns to blast their way through a haunted mansion, engaging in a series of frantic minigames. The core gameplay revolves around hitting on-screen targets, whether it’s shooting hordes of ghosts, protecting friendly creatures, or facing off against wacky boss characters like a Frankenstein’s monster or a vampire. Heavily inspired by the “Point Blank” series, “Ghoul Panic” emphasizes quick reflexes and accuracy. While the game received praise for its fun, multiplayer action and colorful graphics, some critics felt it didn’t significantly innovate within the light gun genre. Overall, it’s remembered as an entertaining and challenging light gun game, particularly enjoyable with friends.
