i am in love with luigi.
mario is nice, but luigi is just loveley.
well, if you do not own this game bye now you must have been in sibiria or on the moon since november.
if you own a gamecube and you are just a tiny bit of a nintendofan - you have to have it - or at least have played it, so rent it.
i own it - and it has got its place on the shelf as long as my cube lives.

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.

DOWN WITH LUIGI!

I bought this as a Xmas gift for my niece. But I thought I'd try it myself because I've enjoyed every Mario related game to date. This was my first experience with Gamecube. I don't see any big advantage with this game over any older NES system. I was really floored to see that the characters still speak with quote bubbles and not with a voice! Come on...get with the new age of video games! Graphics were nothing to write home about either. I was bored in a matter of minutes. I'd rather play one of the other Mario titles.

luigis mansion goes down the drain

The game play is simple and doesn't change much throughout gameplay - capture ghosts like you would with a fishing rod (tugging the opposite direction) with a vacuum cleaner. There's realistic lighting and shadows, good sound, and when the vacuum cleaner is used on objects in the mansion, they act realistically. There are 23 quirky "special ghosts" which you need to capture by doing special things, but each one is pretty easy to beat. Each time you beat a boss all of the ghosts you've captured will be pressed into paintings (that is basically the way the whole game goes.) Professor E. Gadd guides you, and he'll give you your vacuum cleaner, as well as a Gameboy Horror, which shows you a map of the mansion in relation to where you are, and does other things.
However, there are some downsides. The game is really easy and really short. It took me years to beat Super Mario 64, and yet it only took me one WEEK to beat the entire Luigi's Mansion game. There's only 4 areas in this game, and compared to other games which have many areas and worlds it's not much.
There are 46 rooms / outdoor areas in the game but once you beat all of the ghosts in a room there's not a whole lot you can do in it (they'll become empty and boring.) You will also probably find that getting from room to room will be hard since Luigi walks slowly, cannot run and cannot jump. Also, each room is pretty much the same: beat all the ghosts and go into the next room. The design is what intrigued me the most, not the gameplay (when it came to the individual rooms.)
The game was interesting up until the end. After you beat the final boss, Mario gets saved and your total points are counted. Your gallery data and score from the game you just played will be saved, but the actual mansion WILL NOT. When you beat the game, all of the rooms you unlocked during the entire game you just played will be reset and you will be sent back to the very beginning.
After beating the game, you'll get a picture of a normal-looking mansion that E. Gadd will buy for you with the cash you collected. The mansion's size depends on how much money you collected. (It would've been good if you could actually walk in it but you can't.) Another thing you'll get will be a "Hidden Mansion" mode, which takes you back to the very beginning of the game and you have to beat all of the same bosses and all of the same special ghosts all over again. The only "catch" in hidden mansion mode is that the Vacuum is slightly more powerful. Therefore, the "Hidden Mansion" mode is pretty lame. After all, what's the point of going through the entire game that you just beat with a few perks added to it? Other than getting a picture and re-doing the game, you get nothing for beating the game. A game should have either OK gameplay followed by a good "after-game" once it's beaten, or it should have gameplay that is so good there's no need for an "after-game". This game has neither. After beating the game, I kind of had that "I did all that for nothing" feeling.
The one thing about the game that was the most interesting though is the fact that it is so unlike other Mario games. Before beating the game (at which point the game is reset) be sure to explore 2 hidden rooms full of cash and gold. One is only accessible by falling through a chimney and the other is only accessible by getting sucked through a mouse hole. There's also a secret: when you look through your Gameboy Horror at a mirror it will warp you back to the main entrance. This however is only useful sometimes, because you may be in a part of a mansion that has no mirrors at all. If you want to go a long distance (for example from the main entrance to the third floor) the mirror serves no help to you.
Overall: if you want to play this game you should probably rent it.

this is a looser game

I rented this game to see what it was like. Trust me you don't want to buy it. The controls are too hard the graphics aren't that good and there is not much to it. Trust me if you really want this game then rent it first try it out. Otherwise you will be stuck with a bad game.

Excellent graphics, Lame game

I went to a store and they let me play LM. The games graphics were the best i've seen. There was metal gear for PS2 on the other side but LM(luigi mansion) grphics were much better.This is nintendo and shiregu miyamoto so it doent surprise me. Now i played for like 30 min. and the the game was BORING. I mean how fun is it to get in like 100 rooms suck like 5 gost in each one and try to find a key. If your liked Yoshis story this is for you(i hated that game). I cant wait like 1 or more weeks for my mom to get me the gamecube super smash brothers melee one extra control and a memory(and i can hopefully get another game out of her). So for now i have to wait to get a good impression out of the Cube. I can wait for zelda(wich is supposely not going to be as good as ocarina as a GAME). I gave instead of one for graphics, realism, and details

Luigi: The lesser Super Brother.....

If you're considering this for yourself OR the kids, DON'T. Leave this one on the shelf at the store. Kids who rate this game highly probably haven't yet had the ultimate pleasure of a really stellar game.

As a Gen X-er who began my gaming adventures with this franchise I had to finally give this game a chance. Hey, I want to get all the play I can out of my favorite little aging cube. I must say the game disappointed me greatly. The movement is slow, the controls awkward, and the gameplay lackluster.

My first moment of distaste was the discovery that I couldn't jump to get coins in high places. Yes that's right.... a Mario brothers game without jumping!! Does half the brothers mean half the fun?! Yes. Instead of jumping, you retrieve elevated goodies with your handy vacuum, er weapon? For young kids, and I mean YOUNG, this may seem fun and more appropriate than fire or other gun-like weaponry, but then the problem becomes the controls. The age at which this gimmick would be appropriate may not be experienced or patient enough for the control scheme.

I think this game has a great concept but lacks in execution. Had it been released on a portable, maybe old Luigi would've stepped out from behind Mario's shadow. Sadly it wasn't and Luigi therefore remains the lesser Super brother.

This game is O.K,

My future brother in law gave me this game cause he didnt like I played it for like 10 min, and its not that bad, it could of been better, if it was Mario's Mansion, but Luigi put on a great performance.
