    4 Stars Suck and Go 17/06/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great fun, addictive, colourful and imaginative

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Too short, formulaic and not challenging enough

    As a couple of members will have noticed in their guest books (I keep asking for help!) I have recently invested in a Nintendo Game Cube. I’ve always enjoyed Nintendo games, and before this I had the SNES and the N 64. When I saw adverts for the Game Cube – and more importantly Luigi’s Mansion – I just knew I had to have one. Luigi’s Mansion is a relatively strange entry in the Nintendo Mario marriage, as it is one of the few games that I can remember that has Luigi as the main character, as opposed to Mario himself. In reality, it might just as well have been ... more

    4 Stars House on Haunted Hill Diamond review 05/05/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great graphics | Fun to play

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Repitive | Short

    With every new Nintendo console launch there’s a new Mario game. Except this one. While gamers wait eagerly for the release of Super Mario Sunshine Nintendo have decided to let the lankier, greener Luigi have his very own game to star in. Luigi’s Mansion lets you control Luigi as he goes searching for his brother Mario inside a haunted house that he mysteriously won for no apparent reason. You start the game armed with only a flashlight as Luigi cautiously pads around the mansion’s foyer. After you have explored a bit you see a orange glow which drops a key. Picking up the key and using it you ... more

    4 Stars Anybody seen a Ghost 21/05/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Lovely graphics

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A bit short and can get repetitive

    Ghosts seem to be a major feature of Nintendo games, and specifically ones featuring the Mario Brothers. Luigi’s mansion doesn’t buck this trend, instead it bases its whole game around the transparent terrors. The Plot -------- Luigi, Mario’s younger brother, takes the spotlight for a change in one of Nintendo’s own launch titles, as he tries to find his brother in a haunted house that he has seemingly won in a competition which he never entered. Entering the mansion, he soon finds more than he bargained for as the ghosts pop out of the woodwork, quite literally ... more

    4 Stars So Fun It's Scary 06/11/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fantastic Fun, Great Graphics and Gameplay

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Too Short!

    Ah, Luigi. Overshadowed brother of the infamous Mario, who's never featured in a good game(as the main character) since his beggining in 1985. Until now. Luigi's Mansion will be overlooked by some gamers(and the public in general) as being a kiddies game, but nothing could be further from the truth. Luigi's Mansion is an amazingly fun game to play(hence the title) and doesn't deserve to be overlooked by any gamer. Story Not sure if this passes as a story, but anyway. Luigi has won a mansion, and Mario decides to leave Luigi behind and go to the mansion himself. Mario then is captured and is ... more

    4 Stars CAN LUIGI FIND MARIO? 03/06/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages NICE GRAPHICS, GOOD MUSIC AND GOOD CONTROL AS WELL.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages SOME HOW UNINTERSTING STORY

    I will have to put it this way; Nintendo concentrates more on Mario games. This is preferably the first time Nintendo is making luigi a character of its own but in doing so, they made it some how, not in graphics that is very good not in music not even in control but in the story. To me the story is not well detailed unlike in the case of Mario that has nice and interesting story line. This game tells the story of liugi who won a mansion and asked for help from Mario but as things may be, Mario was kidnapped by bowser god now the responsibility now lies on luigi to rescue Mario. Well still fun ... more

    4 Stars Luigi the new Mario 19/05/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages great game

    Disadvantages Disadvantages too short

    Price: £40 Players: 1 Developer: Nintendo Publisher: Nintendo I reckon Luigi should teach his bro’ a thing or two about refreshing new ideas, as Mario seems to content to rest in his rut with the Mario 64 alike, Mario Sunshine. The innovation here is all the more surprising given that Luigi’s Mansion is the exact opposite of your usual Mario Bros outing. Blue skies and lush greenery are replaced by the sinister dread of a moonlit night, and the sprawling leap-where-you-like levels of Mario’s world have been thrown out in favour of claustrophobic right-angled rooms-it’s ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Nintendo

    Disadvantages Disadvantages short

    Dear Diary, It’s Luigi here again. I have just received news of me winning a mansion! I got the letter in the post today! Unfortunately, I don’t remember entering the competition. Any way, who cares, it’s a mansion, it’s free and it is mine! All MINE! Mario is going over tonight to check it out… Never learn those Mario brothers do they? After being kidnapped by Bowser God knows how many times and doing umpteen missions, they still do not think that getting a mansion in an unknown competition is not suspicious. That’s Italian Plumbers for you… So, anyway, Mario went to check out the house and ... more

    5 Stars Finally a game for Luigi! 14/09/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages great graphics and sound, good fun, easy to control

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    This game was released as a launch title for the Gamecube back in May 2002. I'd been meaning to buy it for a while, since I'm a big fan of the Super Mario series and this one stuck out since it's Luigi who's the main character (for those who don't know, he's Mario's younger brother). About a month ago I finally bought a copy, and I wasn't disappointed. The game has a simple plot - Luigi wins a mansion and goes to meet Mario there, only to discover that Mario is lost after going into the mansion and that the mansion is full of ghosts. With the help of Professor E. Gadd, Luigi explores the house ... more

    4 Stars An Under-Appreciated Gem 06/07/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Seeing Luigi as the star makes a nice change, an excellent premise, enjoyable game play.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Quite easy, very quick to complete, may be too creepy for some children.

    Many exciting Nintendo announcements were made at this years E3, but what I anticipated the most is the release of Luigi's Mansion 2 on the Nintendo 3DS. Luigi's Mansion was an excellent ghost busting adventure that still seems a little under-appreciated. One of the launch games for the Nintendo Gamecube back in 2001, Luigi's Mansion allowed Luigi to step out of his famous fellow moustachioed brother's limelight, and become the main hero. The premise was very simple, somewhat predictable, and no twists present, but it was an enjoyable story nonetheless. It all begins when Luigi recieves a ... more
