BEST GAMES REVIEW : LUIGI'S MANSION (DARK MOON)
It's your loyal Minnow here again, today I will be reviewing my favourite game tagged "LUIGI'S MANSION (dark moon) 1. item
Story: Professor Elvin Gadd (E. Gadd) lived peacefully amongst the ghosts that roamed Evershade Valley. All of a sudden King Boo came out of nowhere and destroyed the Dark Moon scattering it’s pieces all over Evershade Valley. Once the Dark Moon was destroyed, all the ghosts became hostile and E. Gadd had to make a retreat to his laboratory where he hid safely while he awaited Luigi’s return to do battle with the ghosts once more.
This all happens in the first cut scene of the game so there are not really any spoilers here.

Rating: Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon or Luigi’s Mansion 2 in the European version got the Rating E for Crude Humor and Mild Cartoon Violence. The Mild Cartoon Violence refers to Luigi battling ghosts and sucking them up in a vacuum cleaner to defeat them. While the Crude humor refers to E. Gadd’s Jerk-like personality throughout the entire game.
Gameplay: This game is a mission based style game. Meaning, instead of getting to explore the entire mansion at once, you know have to do it in parts and you are graded on your performance in each one.
There are a total of 5 mansion all together in which only two of them are actually mansions.
Each mansion has a set of seven different missions. After completing the first five you unlock the sixth which is the boss battle.
There is one boo in each of the first five mission per mansion. If you collect them all you unlock the seventh mission in that mansion.
The seventh Mission in each mansion requires you to catch all the ghosts inside each mansion in a certain period of time, however, you do not have to complete this mission to beat the game.
You also collect money throughout the game get enough and you can upgrade E. Gadd’s weaponry. You are equipped with the Pultergust 5000 which is a vacuum that is used to suck up ghosts and to launch things that get stuck in the vacuum’s hose.
Luigi is also equipped with a strobe light that allows him to stun ghosts and use certain objects throughout the game.
Lastly Luigi is Equipped with a dark-light allowing him to see invisible objects and ghost prints. Each Mansion has a total of 13 different gems you can collect each with their own unique shape and color.
If you manage to find all of the gems within a mansion you are rewarded with something cool.
There is also a multiplayer mode called ScareScraper. As the name implies, you are required to climb through ghost filled Skyscraper with three other players. Your choice of 5-endless floors with a difficulty of either easy, normal, or hard.
There are three types of ScareScrapers you can run through. Hunter, where you hunt down different ghost and catch them, Rush where you try to find the exit of each floor in a short amount of time, and Pulterpup where you have to track down a number of ghost puppies and catch them.
Every five floors you will encounter a boss ghost which looks like a larger normal ghosts with a different color scheme.
All the different types of ghosts you capture in ScareScraper and Evershade Valley are recorded in E. Gadd’s vault. I still have yet to catch them all myself so I’m not sure if you are rewarded for this or not.
Dislikes:
E. Gadd is kind of a jerk throughout the entire game like I mention earlier. For those of you that have played Luigi’s Mansion 1 and/or Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga/Partners in Time then you know that his personality sort of changed.
The Professor was more mysterious in previous games. This doesn’t take away the fun of the game at all. E. Gadd provides a lot of humor throughout the game. In the First Luigi’s Mansion game, you were allowed to explore the entire Mansion unless you wanted to quit the game, release ghosts from the Pultergust, or something important came up within the game’s storyline.
Having to constantly go back to the Lab after every single time you completed a mission sort of took the fun out of the game. Also there’s nothing special about the boss ghosts in single player mode besides their fighting styles.

They all relatively look the same. In the first Luigi’s Mansion game, each boss ghost had something unique about them and each one had their own personality. In Dark Moon there are three mini boss sisters who you have to fight simultaneously later in the game.
They are sort of like the boss ghosts in the first game, but their descriptions are very vague not to mention they only show up for a brief moment out of the blue.
Did I miss anything or get something wrong? Have thoughts about this game? Leave a description in the comments..
