Luigi's Mansion review:3 stars (I feel sorry for Luigi...) - By now, everyone knows what the Mario series is. After all, there is a Mario game for everyone, right? So anyway, this was Nintendo's attempt to put Luigi in the spotlight. And it almost succeeds.
Graphics-10/10 The graphics are top-notch, especially the dust effects, as it gets sucked up in your vacum.
Sound-8/10 Nothing special, both effects and music are on-par.
Control-5/10 WHAT'S UP WITH THE VACUM??? It took me 1/2 an hour to figure out!
Story-5/10 Nothing much, really. Luigi gets a letter telling him he won a mansion, and when he enters he finds that an old man is there. He gives Luigi a vacum cleaner that sucks up ghosts and begins his search for Mario, whom has vanished.
Gameplay-6/10 This game was way too easy, but it ended quickly, just before it got boring.
Overall-3/5 Luigi was given a game that will last you maybe a rental, but not much longer. If I were him, I'd sue Nintendo for putting Mario in the spotlight, and then give me a barely-par game to try to make up for things.5 stars (Markzilla's review) - Luigi has won a haunted mansion built by the Boos and Mario trapped inside.There are four areas in the mansion.The fourth area is the hardest, it has King Boo,he is the king of the Boos,and he is a boss ghost.My favorite boss ghost is Bogmire,he is the second boss ghost,he can send shadows of himself that hurts Luigi.I think that this is a cool and scary game.My favorite portrait ghost is "The Bookish Father" Neville, he reads a lot books that he didn't read while living.4 stars (little italian guy with a green cap) - in most of the mario brother games, the main character has been-gasp-mario. but not this time. the two brothers have somehow won a mysterious old mansion. mario goes to investigate, but...he doesn't come back. so luigi goes to the mansion, which is dark, creepy, and is full of ghosts and creepy little weirdos with vaccuum cleaners. the creepy little guy with the vaccuum cleaner is a professor who saves u from the ghosts that attack u when u enter the first room. the vaccuum cleaner turns out 2 b one of the proffessor's inventions, the poltergust 3ooo. it sucks up ghosts and-huh?-puts them into portraits, which they somehow all escaped from. in this twisting, challenging game, luigi makes his way through the mansion, battling bosses, and fighting off ghosts, to find his brother is being held captive by-princess peach? no, he's not, actually. i'm not telling who the real culprit is. ha ha.
