Haunted Mansion review:5 stars (Better than the movie) - Skip the movie and play this game instead! It's absolutely fantastic and should hold much appeal for people of all ages. The graveyard singers are a hoot and so is the pause music. Really reminds me of classic Disney entertainment. Watch out though, the chess game is NOT what it seems!!!5 stars (Once you get going, you just can't stop) - This game is the kind of game you wouldn't expect to be on a game system. When I think of Xbox, I think of fighting, killing, and running. I don't think of this excelent strategy game. The graphics are phenomonal. It makes you feel that you are in the rooms you are playing in. They just surprised me. Enough said. The graphics are the best I've ever seen. (I only own nine Xbox games though) The controls can be mastered in 15 minutes. It's not like some other games that buttons do multiple things at different points inthe game. Each button does one action throughout the entire game. The gameplay is what I focus buying games on, and this is why I bought it. You control a young man named Zeke Holloway. You must first turn on the lights in the room. You need skill to figure out the puzzles to get to the light though. They are extremely hard. Once you've turned the lights on, you must locate souls hidden in objects such as chairs, tables, and plants. Then you must suck them into your special lantern. This isn't hard because the objects the souls are in are pulsing in and out. Then you have to Find the next room to open and repeat the process. You have to do the same thing in each room, but the rooms and puzzles are so different, you just won't get bored. There is actually some fighting in this game. You shoot light from your lantern to kill ghosts, spiders, and more. Although the game is rated T for violence, parents this game is suitable for all. The violence really isn't violent. To sum it up, I love this game. It really makes your mind work hard. If you don't like strategy, this game isn't for you. This game is packed with fun. I recommend renting this game before you buy it, because it appeals to some, and some won't like it. This is the best game I have ever played, and it was a good choice for me.2 stars (It becomes a chore after a while) - At first, it's fun finding ways to get to that light switch and light up a room and yadda yadda, yadda. Sure, when it's fun, creative puzzles that take a few moments. However, after a while it just ranks up there with doing your math homework and eating your broccoli. A heinous chore. Some of the puzzles in Haunted Mansion were just frusterating, and not in the fun way. More like a half hour ordeal when your not fighting any monsters, just figuring out which way to point some frigging mirrors. In the end, if you have a Game Cube or have a friend who does, rent Luigis Mansion. Same principal, but a lot more fun. The ghosts are tougher to catch, but you don't have to deal with those ridiculous little puzzles. Otherwise, leave the Ghost Busting to Bill Murray and Dan Akroyd.
