This was a great game. At first, I had a little trouble controlling the little vacuum thing, but eventually I got used to it. It's really fun to play. Nintendo did such a great job on this. They stepped away from Mario for a brief moment, and let Luigi get the spotlight, which is great because I was getting sick of Mario anyways. The graphics are truely amazing. I love how the house is all dusty. It really brings out the old, haunted mansion feeling. They also had a bunch of added features, like how Luigi whistles. It's not the only music in the game, but the other music is just creepy. This game is a must have if you love the Mario series.

Luigi finally gets to star in his own game but I think he would have rather stayed in Mario's shadow. Luigi's Mansion is a spin-off of the Super Mario Series. Luigi's won a mansion in a contest he never entered in. Upon arrival he finds that his bother Mario has been taken and only he can save him.
This game is fun but short. It only took me 2 days to beat this game. Really, it only took me 2 days.
Anyway, if you're looking for a really scary game this might not be a good choice. You might what something like Resident Evil Zero. By and by this game is fun. Enough said....

Luigi's Mansion is a good game, until you finish it. The graphics are of the best the GameCube can offer on the first-gen titles, but others games are better than LM in graphics (Rogue Leader, Smash Bros. Melee, etc). The sound is not the best thing ever, but it's good. The value of the game is BAD. Finish it in 10 hours. A short game compared to other games like Super Mario 64. And it's always the same thing. Capture a ghost, get a key and enter the next room. And do it again. The gameplay is regular.
RATING:
Gameplay: - 19/30
Graphics: - 18/20
Sound: ---- 16/20
Value: ---- 6/30
TOTAL: 59/100 -----------> Mediocre
Comments: A good game until you finish it. Rent it or ask a friend for lend it to you. If you want to buy it, consider another options, like Smash Bros. Melee or Rogue Squadron 2. Another game of its kind very recommendable is Pikmin. But you have the last word.
Great, but low replay value

I was absolutely blown away by the graphic and sound quality of this game. I loved that the entire game is within one huge castle, and that the names of each room pop up when you enter them. And I loved the music room, where you use instruments to "play" old Super Mario Bros. theme songs. Luigi even hums and whistles along (nervously) to the background music.
The control also is incredible, and very natural-feeling, using both joysicks and all the buttons.
However, my buddy and I finished it in one night, about 6 hours of playing (taking turns on rooms). And after that, we had no desire to play anymore. Rent this and wait for the first GameCube Mario game.
Is this game for you??

This game is pretty fun in all aspects. But, I love every mario and luigi game that has been created; so does that count? The only thing bad about this game is that it is way to easy. I bought it and had beat it in six days!!! Another thing is its not that much fun to play again. So I would recommend renting this game, it's cheaper and you get the same thing out of buying it. But don't get me wrong this is a very fun game.

Luigis Mansion is the best Gamecube game to date! It is also the most detailed game i've seen. For example, if there's a mirror on the other side of the room,you can see yourself in it! The point of the game is: Luigi has won a huge mansion,but it's crawling with ghosts! But when he arrives,Mario is MISSING! This is a very good game!
Luigi's Mansion is a great game for starters

This is a great game for the Nintendo gamecube! It was my first game for the new system and I love it! The graphics are great and it's not too difficult. It has been a while since I have played a game and actually beat it!
Truly fun and enjoyable

When my 12 year old finally beat the game and allowed me to play, I couldn't stop. You will find yourself so wrapped up and wanting to continue that you may forget to get to a save point and save. It was midnight last night before I realized I had played for 4 hours straight. You simply want to go from room to room catching ghosts and finding what treasures are hiding. Truly a game for all ages.
Over and Over AGAIN

This game might have one of the best graphics seen on any console and it has on of my favorite nintendo characters: Luigi. But the game itself is the same thing over and over again: Get keys, open new doors, capture ghosts with a vacuum and getting coins. Also the game is too short, i beat it in about 4 hours. The game is fun while it lasts, but i recommend to rent it first.The way to move and control luigi is outstanding, but come on, it is a game for the little ones. I recommend this game to any parent searching for a game for kids of ages 7 through 13.
