DESCRIPTION

The revered creator of such Nintendo classics as Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros., and Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, designer Shigeru Miyamoto indoctrinates yet another gaming platform with his distinctive style in Luigi's Mansion, a launch title for the Nintendo GameCube. Players guide Mario's green-clad younger brother through the eerie, dynamically shadowed halls of a fully three-dimensional haunted house in this adventure.

Luigi is happily surprised when he learns that he's inherited a large mansion, but trouble begins when Mario mysteriously disappears in the big old house. When Luigi sets out to look for his missing brother, he finds that the dark mansion is full of creepy ghosts. The ghosts seem to like to sneak up on Luigi and scare him, preventing him from making progress in his search for Mario.

Luckily, the ghosts are afraid of Luigi as well, or at least of his flashlight. When Luigi manages to shine his light on one of the ghosts it freezes for a moment, giving him a chance to suck it up and out of the way with his handy vacuum cleaner. Since he can only shine his light in one place at a time though, Luigi can never know just what might be sneaking through the darkness around him, creating aspects of action and strategy designed to be both spooky and fun. ~ T.J.

“Very lame, not what you should ever consider a game in the Mario universe... yet, since I beat it and it kept my attention (and the fact I had nothing else to play) I gave it two stars. The graphics were pretty nice, the boss fights were more like...”

“I was really disappointed when the GC didn't ship with a Mario game, but Luigi's Mansion did a decent job of filling in the gap. Solid physics and graphics along with the typical Mario Universe look and feel. Fairly humorous as well. ”

“So short, but fun while it lasts. It's a great showcase of the Gamecube's power, and the physics are both fun to mess with and integral to the game. The interesting ghost setups make up for a lack of gameplay variety.”

“I have this games for years in my collection now. And never played it before. Today I hooked up my GCN on the tv for Animal Crossing and thought: Why not play Luigi's Mansion also. Why didn't I play...”

“Well, it's not a Super Mario, Mario world or Paper Mario... but I think it has the same vibe as those games. They really thought about it. At first I thought the system with the vacuum-cleaner would get repetitive. But it doesn't. Until now almost every room has it's own way to solve. The variance of ghosts are nicely done. So I really like it.”
