Luigi's Mansion Review

Luigi's Mansion was a launch title for the Nintendo Gamecube. This piece of software was made to show off the systems capabilities by using incredible lighting and shadow effects. Along with its gorgeous graphics, Luigi's Mansion had a fresh and unique gameplay style.

You could say that it was the first "3D Ghostbusters video game." The main concept is to suck up ghost souls and return them to there picture frames. Each ghost has its own secret for capture as well as its own story. Along with the ghost collecting aspect, there are multiple bosses throughout Luigi's mansion, each more terrifying than the next.

Luigi's Mansion's gameplay revolves around a third person adventure game. As you see ghosts, you use your "c-stick" to aim your vacuum towards the ghost to suck it away. As you proceed through the storyline, you constantly obtain new items and power ups to keep the gameplay fresh.

As you navigate through this mansion, you will experience puzzle mechanics, an astonishing world to explore, wacky characters, creative gameplay and you'll be bombarded with nostalgic easter eggs! This game is quite short, only taking a few hours to beat, but that's not always a bad thing. I think of it like Majora's Mask, small, but dense. All and all, Luigi's Mansion was and still is a fantastic game with gameplay that still holds up today. This was the Nofriendo Review, and I'll see you next time!
