I can't say I agree with "this is like resident evil with a vacuum... :/.
It is fun and fluffy at first, but then it gets repetitive and annoying. When I finally beat it (the day after buying) there was an option to replay in "the hidden mansion" and I thought it might be different and maybe harder, but was surprised to find that it was much easier, and I beat that in 5 or 6 hours.
Sort of fun, but doesn't do anything for the claim that GameCube isnt only for kids (although some games are for more mature players). I recommend this for young people or slackers.

This game is very fun. It is not the easyiest game, but that makes it fun. You suck up ghosts with only a flashlight, and a special vaccuem called the poltergust 3000. It's Luigi's turn in the spotlight to save his famous brother, Mario from the Big Bad Boo's. This is a game worth getting!
Ingenious Graphics _ Lackluster G.P.

Luigi's Mansion was essentially the GameCube's launch title. Nintendo made their point very clear. The GameCube was going to be about brilliant graphics for a younger generation of gamers. Luigi's Mansion painted that picture perfectly. Unfortunatey, Nintendo made a marketing mistake by not following the same path as Sony and Microsoft. While Ligui's Mansion was highly likeable for it's graphics and character legend, it wasn't a game that was very enjoyable. Seeing this game's graphics, without having the time of your life playing it, felt like driving an automatic Ferrari running on a mere four cylinders.
Luigi's Mansion is a fairly simple game that could be accomplished in half a day. Some areas of L.M. were actually enigmatic and annoying at times, but the game flowed pretty well from beginning to end. If L.M. was as lengthy as Mario Sunshine, maybe this could have been a worthy lanch title, but only on graphics alone. Mario Sunshine wasn't worthy of being a lanch title either. It's not good for Nintendo when your MVP's (Mario & Luigi) of your brand can't be found it the best games. Metroid Prime, Star Fox Adventures and The Wind Waker easily outshine both L.M. and M.S.
Overall, Luigi's Mansion is a good game, but not great. Not great in the fact it's not long enough. Not great in the fact it lacks some serious FUN for ALL gaming audiences. Nintendo marketed Luigi's Mansion for the 7-12 year old gamers. While Nintendo thought this would have been the best idea at the time, it proved to be a marketing nightmare. No one will remember Luigi's Mansion ten years from now, but other GameCube titles will be considered classics. Luigi's Mansion isn't even a top ten GameCube title. Very low replay value, but still one could discover entertainment if played on a rainy day. It's currently something around $15 or $20. That's a fair price.
It rocks when you get the hang of it!

When I got Luigi's Mansion I was frightined by the ghosts.
But then I thought some ghosts aren't that scary, like Mr.Luggs, Sir Westsen (the chilly cilmber), and that piano player.
So sometimes it's good to try something new.
P.S. And I Got halfway through the game in one week!!!
Fun game that makes a great game good

Luigis Mansion is a fun game to play. When I first rented the game I started to play it right away. I think this game deserves a strong 5 stars because when I started to play it I knew that it would be long but was fun when when I had. When I was on area 2, when I desterbed the boo's, it really scared me. To be honest,it took me a desent 5 days of work. I say that the people who think this game sound's interesting, rent. This game is only made for the platform of Nintendo GameCube.

What I like about Luigi's Mansion is when you first play it, you have just about no idea what you're doing, but after you beat the first boss, you'll get to know the drill. I like how you can shoot fire, water, and ice from the Poltergust 3000 and use them for special purposes. Also, King Boo is plain sick. With the blue tongue, pink eyes and scary noises, he makes the perfect bad guy. It's really fun when you first play it, especially for me when facing King Boo. I also like the suprises...The biggest downside of this game is once you truly beat it, it's pretty boring. I beat it, and never even played or watched the game since, unless I was helping my friend on one of his files. Also, the game's pretty hard to beat without the guide.
Good game but wicked short!

this game is fun... while it lasts. I played through the game in about 4 days. sure when the game is going the vacuming ghosts is fun. the bosses need to have more strategy to beat. basicly all bosses (except boolosolis) are beat the same way. the potrait ghosts are a neat twist seeing as how each one is a mini boss, sorta. this game would be a great game to buy if you just got your gamecube.
Maybe Cleaning Up a Mansion Isn't So Exciting...

I'm completely shocked with this game. I would have expected a lot better of an opening game from Nintendo, especially since they've had a good opening game until this one. The effects of the mansion and Luigi's Poltergust 3000 are good...but this game turned out WAY too easy. This game took me 3 days to beat...and I only played about an hour each day. There were some good puzzles in the mansion, but otherwise I would have opted not to play it. I would not recommend this game because Nintendo really could have done a much better job on it. Their quality of games on the GCN ever since this one have been incresing, though.
Good game

Even though Luigi's Mansion is a great game, it is too easy to beat, and there is practically nothing you can do after you've beaten it once. If you really want to play it, I recommend renting it.
