Luigi's Mansion

Now Luigi finally gets a solo video game and this time is it not a disappointment.

Luigi has always been the second player character when you play games like Super Mario Bros and Super Mario World and other Mario titles this time he gets his own game.

Luigi's Mansion centers on Luigi who gets a letter saying he has won a contest with his own Mansion although he never enters, When he gets to the mansion he realize that it is haunted and Mario is missing.

Now it is up to Luigi to find his brother aim with nothing but a flashlight and a Ghost Vacuum.

Nintendo GameCube being Nintendo's first CD based video game system it had to have games to make it fun and Luigi's Mansion proof to be a success.

The level designs give you the feel of being inside an haunted house and the ghost that follow you would make you turn around as they disappear.

Nintendo took their time to make sure the game shows the power of the GameCube

Also it is cool to have Luigi get his own game and this time is wasn't bad.

The graphics in the game are very well done with great level and character designs and the animation for the ghost are superb it like you were in a haunted house. The music and sound effects are superb and the controls work and gives you the feel of being scared when the game like you to be scared.

The game boss battles do take time to take down also you can get lost easy so you got to be careful where you are going and where you been.

Luigi's Mansion shows what the GameCube could do and is worth checking out.

Luigi's Mansion an 8 out of 10

I've lost count on how many times I've beaten this game. It's very interesting and the graphics aren't bad considering this game is almost 20 years old. I remember obsessing about this game as a kid. As soon as I got it, I was hooked! The gameplay is repetitive but interesting. The game gets harder as you get closer to the end so it's not too easy to beat. Overall, a cool game.

I found the game pretty original and very interesting to play. Its a story where Luigi will need to help his brother Mario. I found the characters pretty well maDe. The Mansion is interesting to exploreand the monsters that you will encounter will vary a lot. The game design is pretty good and the atmosphere is clearly there. A game that completely worth your time.

When it was released with the launch of the Nintendo Gamecube in 2001, "Luigi's Mansion" took both praise and criticism for being an a-typical "launch game" for the new system. Both viewpoints are valid depending on what type of gamer you might be.

Basically, this game puts you in control of the usually second-fiddle Luigi, who is searching for brother Mario in a haunted mansion full of Boos. Armed with a ghost-sucking vacuum device, Luigi must suck up all the ghosts and get his fellow plumber out of the house of horrors.

In terms of gameplay, this game gets old quickly. Basically, you just go around sucking up ghosts and getting keys to rooms to...suck up more ghosts. It's fun for awhile, but gets tedious after about the first 5-6 ghosts or so.

The presentation, however, is what makes this game still fun to play even 10+ years after its inception. The graphics are perfect for this type of game (cartoony yet clean), while the humor of many of the situations is pitch-perfect. Because Luigi is such a quirky character in the Nintendo cannon, there isn't that "Mario pressure" and thus the game developers were just able to let things loose and have a little fun with this one.

Overall, "Luigi's Mansion" is a fun game because of (not in spite of) its quirkiness. Younger gamers will especially love this effort, as the gameplay will never feel stale for their skill set. More seasoned gamers will just laugh at the presentation/atmosphere and take the goofiness all in stride. I'd give it 3.5 stars to be exact, but it gets bumped up to four full stars here because it is just so innocent and fun.

This is by far the scariest horror survival game ever! And there is no end to the amount of gore in this game. It begins with Lugi going to an uber creepy mansion and having to survive the terrors that await inside. These include hideous spirits of the cronies of the notorious murder Bloody Jack. these things will pop out of walls and try to eat you by making you explode. Also, nothing is as it seems! Piano's come to life and try to disembowel you, books try to decapitate and beat you to death, and giant eyeballs stalk and shoot at you! The boss is the creepiest part of the game! He is so scary, it's too horrible ti describe! So if you are faint of heart or scare easily, I urge you not to play this and instead play a nice, kiddie game like Silent Hill. This is truly one hell of a horror game!
