Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Luigi steps out from the shadow of his brother Mario and into the gloomy shadows of a very haunted house in this, his first-ever starring role. Armed with a flashlight and a customized vacuum cleaner, Luigi must rid the mansion of Boos and ghouls - and find his missing brother to boot!Awaiting within Luigi's Mansion is a breathtaking (and heart-stopping!) adventure unlike anything you've ever seen on a console. From the brick-walled basement to the gloomy grounds, Luigi's Mansion is packed with chills, thrills and unending surprises.As he carefully creeps about the mansion, Luigi will have to find the keys that open the many locked doors. You find plenty of coins, cash and gold bars to be vacuumed up, too. Some money is out in the open, but most is concealed. Luigi will have to use his vacuum to make withdrawals from vases, bookcases, drawers and more.

Fun:
While Mario gets zillions of games to himself every year, it's not often that Luigi gets his own lead, unless you count the 1993 game Mario Is Missing! (SNES).
In this lovely little game Luigi goes Ghostbusting in a haunted mansion (one of those Scooby-Doo types) that he has mysteriously won in a competition he didn't even enter. The mansion is crawling with spooks of all kinds but Luigi gets help from a crackpot inventor living nearby. Now armed with a special vacuum cleaner, Luigi must clear every room in the mansion by hoovering-up spooks, and find his missing brother, who has apparently vanished inside.
The gameplay is simple and very easy to get the hang of. Some of the rooms you clean up require some extra investigation and puzzle solving so be sure to check everything (I thought the piano room was a cool puzzle to solve) and use your Gameboy Horror to have a good look round.
The graphics in Luigi's Mansion may not be up to the standard of Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii) but they're still very, very smooth and look amazing. Some of the SFX look highly realistic and there's no loading times at all between scenes. The music sounds like it's been done on a Commodore 64 and doesn't sound all that great but it's a cute little theme and I thought it was very funny when Luigi would whistle it whenever it wasn't playing.
The mansion itself isn't that big and you'll finish the game in about a week, but when you have this much fun playing it is still worthwhile.

This is a fantastic game that still plays as well today as it did when I first bought my gamecube, having never being re-released on the wii i decided to buy this and replay it. it still looks great on a large screen and is as funny and well thought out as the best mario games. I would recomend this game to anyone with a wii who never played it first time round.
