After two decades of
playing second fiddle to Mario, little brother Luigi is headed
straight into the thick of things, and his nightmarish adventure is
guaranteed to be one of the most spectacular and involving games
ever created. The guiding light of Luigi's Mansion is Nintendo's
Shigeru Miyamoto, the most revered game designer of all time. With
each new generation of video game consoles, Mr. Miyamoto extends his
creative vision beyond known boundaries. Donkey Kong for the arcade,
Super Mario Bros. for the NES, Super Mario World for the Super NES
and Super Mario 64 and Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the N64
were break-through games that defined new genres.

IGN Cube:
"With a strike of lightning the camera zoomed in through the
doors. Turning slowly was a shadowy figure of a man featuring a
mustache, sideburns, and a hat. For a split second many thought they
were finally going to see the new Mario game in action..."

Game
Spot:
"Luigi's first solo excursion has flashes of brilliance and is
fun while it lasts, but the short amount of time it takes to
complete it makes it a hard recommendation. If you're a serious
video game collector or just want a game that will adequately show
off your new console..."

NextGen Magazine:
"Luigi's Mansion is, very simply, a haunted house adventure
that swaps out the really spooky environs of the first Resident Evil
for charming, cartoonish ghosts on par with those seen in Disney's
Haunted Mansion ride. An entertaining first effort for GameCube. Not
the epic scale of Mario."

Nintendo
Power:
"Luigi's Mansion is destined to become a classic because it
boasts everything that makes a video game great. Beautiful graphics
and a truly new style of play make Luigi engaging. The game is on
the short side, but it's very enjoyable while it lasts, with its
clever puzzles and innovative gameplay."

Nintendo Web:
"Luigi's Mansion is not the genre-defining
event we were hoping for, but it's easily one of the best games
available and certainly one that any new GameCube owner should think
about purchasing. Petty complaints should not put you off the game.
It's a short ride, but a fun one at that." |
