Being a fan of Dark Moon's predecessor, Luigi's Mansion for GameCube, I've been anxiously awaiting the release of this game. It's been a long wait but I'm happy to report it was well worth it!Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon takes the basic concepts of its predecessor and brings them to life in a stunning 3D world. Really. I think this is the most impressed I've been with the utilization of 3D on my 3DS to date. The graphics are gorgeous and not a single detail was overlooked.The Poltergust 3000 has been upgraded to a Poltergust 5000 in Dark Moon and other additions bring this sequel to a fresh new level, like the new strobe and lightning bolt features. If you loved sucking up ghosts in the original you'll enjoy doing more of the same here with a few fun upgrades.I was a bit worried about the use of the gyroscope in this game but it incorporates well. By tilting the screen you're able to aim your tools into every nook and cranny of the room. The tilt feature compliments game play nicely without being obnoxious.If you're familiar with the GameCube version you'll pick up on the game play here quickly. If not, you won't be faced with a daunting learning curve. The controls are pretty straightforward and quickly begin to feel natural as you get comfortable with the game.I found Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon to be a perfect marriage of innovation and recognition from the original, and it's worth mentioning again just how truly amazing the 3D experience in this game is. Oh, and of course it's loads of fun! Highly recommended, excellent title!

Gamecube’s Luigi’s Mansion (one of my old personal favorites) finally got itself a sequel after more than a ten year long wait. In the Mario franchise where it’s grown to be mostly mindless multiplayer action with a plethora of endless minigames and reboots, Nintendo gave Player 2 another chance to shine with Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon.In the last game, a mysterious letter congratulates Luigi on winning himself a mansion in a contest despite never entering one. He rings up Mario to meet him there to celebrate and by the time Luigi arrives, he finds his brother missing. He gets help from the quirky Professer E. Gadd and searches the spooky mansion armed with the Poltergust 3000 (a powerful ghost sucking vacuum) and a flashlight to save his brother.In Dark Moon, Luigi returns with an admittedly less interesting reason other than the ghosts are acting up, doing what ghosts do and all. But as you progress in the game, you piece together a whole other reason for the sudden increase in paranormal activity. He’s back with new gadgets (and an upgraded Poltergust 5000) to take down those pesky ghosts, new areas, and with a variety of new ghosts to wrangle.The 3D’s bells and whistles surprisingly doesn’t hinder gameplay, but makes it rather fun. For the Gamecube, a lot of Luigi’s movements were controlled via the second analog stick like aiming the flashlight or wrangling ghosts into your vacuum of doom. The 3Ds cleverly uses its gyroscope and accelerometer capabilities in a way that really adds to the movement. If you’re not up for moving the 3Ds up and down to aim, the same can be achieved with a button press and I like how it allows you the freedom to choose which you prefer.Luigi tip-toes through the dusty corridors in a state of nail biting terror, nervously humming along to the background music in a way that makes me wanna pet the screen to calm him down. The ambiance is just as great as the last game with great lighting and sound effects. Everything responds to your exploration as you go through the game and there are many puzzles to solve reminiscent to the Legend of Zelda series, something that I felt is an improvement. Ghosts now have different strategies you have to figure out when trying to clear a room. Some like to hide in furniture like a game of hide-and-seek while some use head gear or items to keep from getting dazed by your flashlight and it makes the game more challenging and never boring.My only complaints are the lack of checkpoints and the grading system. When your health drops to zero, you restart from the beginning and you have to go through all the stuff you discovered before which can be a pain. The grading system, while fair, judges for your time and I felt that was a bit much considering that I’m one of those OCD kinda players where I have to look through everything in every room so getting a bronze made me grind my teeth in frustration. It was my first playthrough and I didn’t feel the need to rush, but I’ll gladly play it over again to reach the best score since you’re able to replay areas and missions you’ve unlocked in the past so it kinda makes up for it.Despite those small annoyances, it’s one heck of a game I feel that any Nintendo 3Ds player would enjoy it even if they haven’t played the last one. Gamers who played Luigi’s Mansion the will love Dark Moon because it improved everything they loved without losing anything that made it awesome in the first place; a formula every sequel should follow.

Just to be upfront I bought this game because it got fairly good reviews, but most importantly I wanted the free game that Nintendo was offering (I picked Mario 3d Land which is also an awesome game) for purchasing this or the new Pokemon game along with the recent purchase of a 3ds (registered no earlier than 14 Feb 2013). I never did get the chance to play the original Luigi's Mansion on Gamecube so I didn't know what exactly I was in for with this game.With that out of the way, I found myself pleasantly surprised by the game play in Luigi's Mansion along with abundance of charm that this game possesses. One online site (IGN I think it was)mentioned that it was not good that the game was split up into missions as opposed to allowing you to explore the various mansions at your leisure. I disagreed with this assessment as splitting it into missions makes it better suited for a portable imo as you're able to play a mission here and there at your leisure. I found this game to have a lot of charm having played through the first mansion boss. From the locale to the characters and the ghosts that show up as Luigi creeps through a dark mansion solving its mysteries this game exudes some serious charm while possessing an identity of its own, enough to differentiate it from a Mario game imo. This game also gets you to think as the items that you can get are pretty cleverly hidden and will call upon you to use all of the gadgets that you have with you. At the end of my play through of the first mansion I found that there were still quite a few items that I had missed which will give me a good excuse to go back through the mansion except with a more full arsenal this time. The game also manages to have tight controls which makes it quite a breeze to control Luigi as he goes out to do some serious ghost busting. If you're on the fence for getting a 3ds this game may not change your mind, but if there are other games that will convince you to buy a 3ds(for me it was Soul Hackers and any Megaten games that come for the 3ds along with the usual Mario/Zelda/Metroid games) I would recommend this game as a solid addition to anyone's 3ds library as Luigi's Mansion has been a fun little romp thus far.
