luigi's mansion is an excellent game with unbelievable lighting effects. the graphics are great, and the sound is good too. this game involves mario being kidnapped by ghosts and luigi must save him. he goes through the mansion capturing ghosts and using his vacuum for other purposes too. this was one of the most interesting and fun games i have played in a while. everything in this game is excellent except... it is too short. there is under 8 hours of gameplay, and if you have a free weekend you will most likely beat it. the difficulty is good, though, and it is fun enough to play many times over. buy it... but be warned it is a little short.

Excellent Game

I got this game as an early Christmas present for my Nintendo Gamecube a week ago and I must say, this is one of the best Gamecube games ever made! The graphics and sound are sweet and the plot is very simple: Lugi wins a mansion,unaware that it is haunted with ghosts who have captured his bro Mario, who was supposed to meet him there. Inside he gets shocked win a ghost comes after him. Then a man named Proffesser E. Gadd comes to the rescue. He tells Luigi that the mansion wasn't there but for a few days and that it was haunted. To save his brother from the ghosts, Luigi must suit up with a Ghostbuster-like vaccum and go through the mansion room by room sucking ghosts untill he finds Mario. There are four main bosses in the game, each representing a story floor of the mansion, there are also Boos, portrait ghosts, element ghosts, and normal ones. Very simple too. There is just one minor problem I see with the game, the length of it. When I got the game a week ago I started playing on a Sunday evening and finsihed Tuesday afternoon. ( 2 days at least ). Thats no offense to how good a game it is, but they couldv'e made it longer, I mean this was Luigi's first starring game! If you are someone who wants a fun easy short game, this is the perfect game for you! If you are into long ones, buy something like Super Mario Sunshine or something like that. I rate this game 5 stars for being a nice plot, nice graphics, nice sound, easy to play, and it being Luigi's fisrt game, even if it is a little too short....

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.

Just not the expected Mario quality

This game doesn't compare to the other Mario games. Although the story sounds cool, there just isn't much exitement in sucking up ghosts with a vacuum cleaner. It's very monotonous; there aren't really any different places to go and although the ghosts vary in color and shape, they all basically work the same. It's more frustrating than challenging. I don't know - the areas and ghost-sucking may not bore you like it bored me. Perhaps one of the few good sides to this game is that it's interesting and unique. But the game play is definatly missing something. Koopas maybe.

Too simple, too short

While there is nothing terribly wrong with this game, it is way too simple and way too short. I was able to beat the game in 3 days. The gameplay is solid, but there isn't enough variety to warrant a purchase. Good for young children, or for people new to videogames. Otherwise, it only warrants a rental.

Luigi can't live up to his brother's expectations...

This game is okay, but it certainly doesn't live up to the high quality expected of Mario games. Luigi has spent his whole life living in his brother's shadow, and this is his chance to gain some of the spotlight by being the hero and rescuing Mario from a haunted mansion. I'll start with the positives by saying that the graphics and sound were great, if somewhat cartoonish. I could spend hours just touring the mansion and admiring the incredibly details that exist in every room and every individual ghost. And the creepy sound effects along with the suspensful music really make the game come alive!

Other than that, however, there are really only a few ways to describe Luigi's Mansion: easy and boring. The plot is extremely simple without any twists or surprises, and the gameplay is so easy that you will probably beat it in no time at all! Sure it has puzzles and challanges, but nothing a few minutes of brain power can't solve! And trust me, sucking colorful ghosts into a vacuum cleaner gets old and boring before long. I would probably reccomend renting this game so you can at least admire the grpahics and enjoy the game for the few days it will take to beat it. But don't expect it to even compare to the fun and diverse gameplay of most Mario games.

super-fun!

This is a cool game, a little scary and most kids like that.
You suck up ghosts with a vacuum cleaner and go around and get money. It's just plain fun, I'm 8 years old and I love it.

Good, Good

I just bought this game. I decided to wait until it got cheap to spend some money on it due to the... well simply put "bad" reviews on it. Definately this game was awesome when i first started to play it...the graphics dazzled me. Since i have a ps2 and i just got a gamecube it was alot to handle. Well it was alittle boring after a while, but if you a hardcore mario(and luigi) game fan(like me) then you will definately find this game fun. Sure there are some boring parts but it has it's moment, overall i'll give this game a 3.5 star rating.

The best GCN launch game

This has got to be the best GCN game of its kind.Yesterday I was at Toys R' Us and I played 3 GCN games and put them into 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in a half hour. Luigi's Mansion was 1st. It has a simple but interesting play control and an even more interesting story.When the game starts, you'll see a jittery Luigi walking into a mansion...a mansion he won in a contest he didn't even enter(creepy,huh?).Inside Luigi meets a one-haired professor that gives him the Poltergust 3000(or something like that),an ultra-powerful vacuum that can suck up paranormal beings. He then tells Luigi what happened to Mario...he got lost in the mansion(...with ghosts!!!!). And then Luigi's adventure really begins. I recommend this game to anyone that owns a GameCube(or will own one.)

ok, first off, this is an ok game. i didn't hate it, i didn't love it. the plot is very, um, non-original (hello, vaccum cleaner that sucks ghosts, sounds like a couple of movies i heard of). Great graphics and gets u hooked, but waaaaaaaayyyy 2 short. I finished it with no help from the internet or a guide and i usually need help. i got my gc for when zelda came 2 it, i would have the equipment. i could only afford 1 game, so i chose the mansion. i thought it would b like mario 64, looks short but playz long. BOY WAS I WRONG. buy this game for show or when ur bored, not for hours of fun. i fininshed it in 3 days of 2 hours. start this as ur collection, great graphics, great "adventure" i'd say 2 and a half.
