Luigi's Mansion Gamecube

I'm an older gamer and remember when the first Luigi's Mansion came out about 20 years ago. My child-brain remembers that game as probably the first hidden gem I played; I was blown away how good that game was considering the ridiculous concept and realized that virtually nobody else was playing it at the time. I beat the first Luigi's Mansion about 5 times and played through the 2nd one (Dark Moon) once.Fast forward to today and this game offers so much more than the original. I dumped about 13 hours into this game and could go back for more. Every level, boss and puzzle are so completely different from the next. Do yourself a favor and don't watch any gameplay online. Let every floor of the haunted hotel surprise you - it's the best way to play. If you're worried ... MoreI'm an older gamer and remember when the first Luigi's Mansion came out about 20 years ago.

Let every floor of the haunted hotel surprise you - it's the best way to play. If you're worried if this game is only for little kids, don't be. I would be surprised if kids could get through some of the later puzzles without any help. And there's another feature, if this game is getting too difficult, you can get a friend for the co-op to play as Gooigi and help you solve puzzles or defeat bosses. So if you have kids or significant others that are playing this game, you could join in and help them get through it. The visuals, art design, and gameplay are, in my opinion, what you'd expect from a 2019, top tier Nintendo game.There are a bunch of online modes that I didn't try only because I had to move on to the next game. There's also more multiplayer modes coming for this game in 2020 in the form of paid DLC..

Luigi and cast are invited to stay at a luxury hotel free of cost, but it turns out the place is haunted. After some events I won't spoil, Luigi is once again tasked with vacuuming up ghosts and saving his friends. The first couple floors of the hotel are designed to look like a haunted hotel, but after a few, each floor becomes unique, with theme like a museum, pirate resort, movie studio, gladiators arena, and many more. Each floor is fun to explore, but unfortunately the cool ones are really small, and primarily used for a single boss fight. For the bigger floor plans, there are secret areas, hidden money, and goofy stuff to see. I enjoyed every floor except for the boiler room, which requires you to move around via rubber ducky in the water, and for some reason ... MoreLuigi and cast are invited to stay at a luxury hotel free of cost, but it turns out the place is haunted.

I enjoyed every floor except for the boiler room, which requires you to move around via rubber ducky in the water, and for some reason I could not turn Luigi left and right when I wanted, making it really frustrating.Some of the mechanics consist of using Gooigi, a plunger, and a dark light. Gooigi is a goo like replica of Luigi who can fall through vents, travel via pipe, and walk through gates. Gooigi can even fight and he must be used at times to save Luigi when he is caught up in bad situations. The plunger is used to pull things and break them, pretty straight forward. The Dark light lets you see hidden objects, make items in painting real, and weaken boos.The combat is fun, and very easy. You flash the ghosts with a flash light and then suck them up with the vacuum. Once you have a hold on the ghost you can slam them multiple times for bonus.

I got this game on launch day and played it last Halloween, so yes, I know I'm late with this review, but here I am almost a year later still in love with Luigi's Mansion 3. I have little else to say that hasn't already been said about this game. Fun, mysterious, and puzzling. The atmosphere is top-notch, further supplemented by the diverse soundtrack and polished graphics reminiscent of a Pixar film. I avoided going out to Halloween parties (I was in college last year) just to play this game as I had been waiting for this since 2001 and I did not regret it. Dimming the lights and diving into this game with my own bowl of candy was quite the experience. The Last Resort is full of so many details, unique boss ghosts with personalities, and humorous quips.

Dimming the lights and diving into this game with my own bowl of candy was quite the experience. The Last Resort is full of so many details, unique boss ghosts with personalities, and humorous quips. This game made me laugh pretty often, which I wasn't expecting. Johnny Deepend flexing his muscles then throwing the volleyball at the window and scaring Luigi was peak comedy. Top this off with Polterpup, who's adorable, and Gooigi, who makes for some very clever puzzles, and you have a game that really must be experienced by everyone. QUICK TIP: use the shoulder buttons for the strobulb and dark light...it frees up your thumbs so that you can easily control Luigi and the Poltergust at the same time.P.S. I captured Marty during my first playthrough and still haven't forgiven myself.

“Spooktacular†is a great way to describe the new Luigi’s Mansion 3 for the Nintendo Switch.I picked up the game digitally on release. The download is only 6 gb, which is amazing considering how other titles out there are nowhere under 10 gbs. I love having Luigi’s Mansion with me on the go and not having to worry about a game cartridge. retrolio’s digital download service is also very easy: purchase the game, get the download code, enter it in the eShop, good to go!As for the game. I have nothing but amazing things to say for Luigi’s Mansion. It’s spooky, it’s funny, it’s filled with puzzles and exploration. If you never played a Luigi’s Mansion game before, I would describe this as a open world, exploration based, adventure game.

I have nothing but amazing things to say for Luigi’s Mansion. It’s spooky, it’s funny, it’s filled with puzzles and exploration. If you never played a Luigi’s Mansion game before, I would describe this as a open world, exploration based, adventure game. There’s action, there’s fighting, there’s puzzle solving, there’s backtracking and tons of loot to collect. You seriously can’t go wrong here.Some of my favorite features in Luigi’s Mansion 3 are:- The ability to whack ghosts that are being sucked up. If you are sucking a ghost into your vacuum, you’ll eventually be given the opportunity to smash the “A†button and slam a ghost on to the floor to lower their HP faster. It makes the process fun and hilarious. I love when I’m smashing ghosts and other ghosts stop in their tracks and cover their eyes, afraid to be hit by Luigi’s rampage. Other ghosts in range ALSO get affected and will lose health if you ram ghosts into each other. It’s hilarious and perfect.- The Hotel’s Open World Environment. Luigi’s.

That should be pretty much enough right there. I mean, if you're reading the user reviews than you've heard about this game. You've probably even read the professional reviews so you're really just poking around to see if those of us that have played the game have anything different to say.Nope. Nothing really to add because it really is just as good as the all those excited reviewers are saying.Yeah, it's a little short but, trust me, I think a bunch of that is due to folks trying to race through the content- which is sooo not the way this game is supposed to be played. I mean, let's face it, platforming little twists aside, it's an adventure/puzzler- if it moves then you move it, if it presses you press it, if it opens then you open it, if it closes then you close ... MoreThat should be pretty much enough right there.

I'm not gonna front here: other than it being a little too short, I find myself liking Luigi waaaaay better than his brother. The plot may not be sophisticated compared to other game franchises, but it's far more interesting (and amusing!) than anything Mario ever got himself embroiled in and Luigi is just far more enjoyable to spend the evening with to me.Mario, after all, is going.

Since there is so much good to this game, I'm going to start with the bad. Its probably the worst thing in the game by far. The low health notification(s). Its a LOUD beep, very similar to other Nintendo titles. However, this COMPLETELY drowns out every other sound in the game. Boss fight get you low? Good luck with immersion if you get low health. It's so obnoxious where I either reload the game, or just stop playing and consider moving on to a different title. If you're a parent and your kids suck at games? You're gunna have a bad time.Now for the good. Everything else in this game is beyond exceptional. The graphics are beautiful. The sound*(except the beeps) is fantastic. The story is cute and funny. It's everything I wanted from this title. If you want Luigi's ... MoreSince there is so much good to this game, I'm going to start with the bad. Its probably the worst thing in the game by far.

Some of the bosses have that so specific it can be infuriating feel. Like you'll know exactly what you have to do, but how you do it might be a mystery in the fight. Its not terrible, but it can be frustrating at times.I'm fairly close to finishing it, and other than those beeps that will seriously drive you up the wall because of not just how loud, but how repetitive they are. Health isn't hard to come buy, but in boss fights it can be a while before it drops.

Holy Boo!!! I absolutely enjoyed Luigi Mansion 1 and 2 aka Dark Moon but once again Nintendo outdid themselves AGAIN with the FANTASTIC Luigi Mansion 3! I'm so thrilled that Luigi Mansion is back on the console where it belongs since Luigi Mansion 2 aka Dark Moon was slightly not as amazing as Luigi Mansion 1. However, Luigi Mansion 3 is absolutely exciting, fresh, beautiful and a whole lot of fun! Heck, it even has a nice multiplayer mode with 3 different game modes at the moment because nintendo recently announced that there will be future DLC for the multiplayer which is pretty suprising! Do you need to play Luigi Mansion 1 or 2 before playing Luigi Mansion 3? Absolutely NOT! But it wouldnt hurt to play them if you can! Either way, luigi mansion 3 is quickly easy ... MoreHoly Boo!!!

Either way, luigi mansion 3 is quickly easy to learn and play, so there is no worries about having to go through a whole hour or so worth of tutorials like so many big budget games have these days. Uh oh! There's a ghost nearby and I gotta help Luigi suck up the ghost using the new Poltergust G-00 weapon! Gotta go!!!

Typical Luigi Mansion game. Use Polterguest to solve creative puzzles. This time, there are new abilities to play around with---Story:Mario, Peach, and Toads are kidnapped during their stay at a hotel. Luigi goes through haunted hotel to save them.---GraphicsWay better than past games with excellent lighting and textures. Love the characters facial and body animations in this game as it gives them a lot of personality. Most objects are not bolted to the ground so you can interact with them. One of the best looking games on the Nintendo Switch---Gameplay:--Poltergust G-00:Main vacuum weapon of this game. Way too overpowered especially with the slam move. No Ghostbusters drag tug-o-war in this game. Most enemies are taken out by shining light to stun them, then suck ... MoreTypical Luigi Mansion game. Use Polterguest to solve creative puzzles.
