Alright, I already own a PS2, but I've always regretted selling My N64, three years ago. I was pretty dissapointed when I heard all about the new system. My PS2, library consists mostly of violent action games and I'd gotten to where I yearned for the good ole Nintendo titles that I remembered from childhood. Recently, I plunked down my $... and bought a Gamecube. And, with Luigi's Mansion, I'm glad I did.

While it may have been on odd decision to launch a title like this with the system, I can understand it better now. Let me just get this out of the way. If you're expecting a free-for-all adventure like Mario 64, you may find yourself a little dissapointed here. It's a very different title, and despite what the editorial said, I found it to be very unique and inventive.

The premise goes something like this; Luigi wins a mansion. Naturally, he's excited about it. So he calls up his good buddy Mario to meet him at the mansion to celebrate. When Luigig arrives, Mario aint there. Instead, he finds a strange little scientist running around with a vaccum cleaner and recieves the news that his new dream-home is haunted by hundreds of prank-loving ghosts. So, Luigi acquires the vaccum-backpack and sets out to find his buddy and rid his new place of the ghosts.

Sound simple? It is. And a LOAD of fun to play. At least, once you get past the game's learning curve which can be pretty difficult. I have never played a game where finding a way to hold the controller was actually fun. In fact, the thought had never crossed my mind, but here, due to the gamecube's button-happy controller, and the fact that the game will require you to use most of them, it's gonna be a little tricky to find a way to hold the thing so that it works. Once you get the hang of alternating the use of the flashlight and the vaccum, you're going to have a blast. Hand and eye coordination are very important here and it's all part of the fun.

Let's talk about the graphics for a second. Simply put, they're absolutely gorgeous. The detail is outstanding with the flickering candles, the dust effects, and the transparent ghost effects. They showcase the cube's hardware perfectly and you will be amazed that they are coming from something so small.

I guess when it all comes down, I don't have any complaints about "Luigi's Mansion". If you've just bought a Cube and area looking for a good title to start your library, this one is perfect for both younger and older gamers.

Now, I can't wait to see how Mario fares on the system..

hard !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! great worth every penny you have

Luigi's Mansion is one the best games I have ever played. The graphics are great, the controls are godly, the fun-level of this game is incredably high, and the sound is just perfect. The game never flinches even if there's a lot going on in it, it runs so smoothly even I was suprised. The musical score in this game is great and the diversity of each room is genious. I love this game!

Luigi wins a mansion in a contest he didn't enter. When he arrives at his new "haunted" home to meet his brother, he finds that Mario is nowhere to be found! The great Professor Gadd is on the scene to help Luigi find his brother. It's up to you to suck up the ghosts with a vacuum called the Polterghost 3000, designed by Professor Gadd. Anyone who thinks that this game is just for children is wrong. I'm 24 years old and I enjoy playing the game in my spare time. It's quite challenging, especially for someone who doesn't play Nintendo often. The controls are set up for even a novice to understand. In short, it's great for people of all skill levels and ages!

Luigi's Mansion is a definite no-no! The controls on the game [are weak], it is completely boring, and the storyline is too original. When Luigi enters the mansion, it's nothing but cleaning a dusty old house! This game is very boring because there is nothing to do on it...

Another Rushed and Lackluster Launch title

Having been a fan of the Mario Bros since their inception, it's no wonder why I was looking forward to this game (as well as all of the "home-grown" nintendo games out there). To articulate my disappointment of this affront is somewhat disparaging, but I will try to do so shortly and sweetly.

What disappoints most about this game, other then the complete lack of originality and lackluster graphics, is that it could have been good, yet Nintendo seems to have neglected this one. This game was so rushed it's not even funny. The gameplay is incredibly repetitve, and leaves you wondering just why anyone would htink this is fun. If you're looking for a game that you can finish in less then 5 hours and then stick it on the shelf and forget about it, congratulations, you have found it. It's not surpirsing that this game has sold so poorly in Japan.

Note to Nintendo: your success in this generation will rely on the quality of your first party games - don't fudge the rest of them up like this one!
