As Luigi, you explore several mansions that have been haunted by troublemaking ghosts (not to be confused with Boos, who are also present but in smaller numbers). Along the way, you solve puzzles, collect money, capture ghosts, and try to recollect shards of the shattered Dark Moon. The atmosphere is typical Mario-universe, perhaps slightly darker than usual, but with plenty of comic relief at Luigi's expense. It's a perfect style for kids, but I still found myself greatly enjoying the gameplay as an adult gamer, even if watching Luigi jump and shiver in fear doesn't particularly amuse me.
Most of the gameplay revolves around the Poltergust 5000, a vacuum with attachments that would make any Dirt Devil feel outclassed. Full completion of the game requires a thorough inspection of each room with your Poltergust - can you suck up that carpet to reveal a hidden button in the floor? Are there gold bars stashed behind that painting on the wall? What happens if you blow air on the ceiling fan? Every room is very interactive, and your explorations are often rewarded with ample cash.
The game makes excellent use of physics in conjunction with the Poltergust. Wads of paper or cash swirl through the air in the vortex of your vacuum's intake. Cloth realistically flaps, folds, and stretches when pulled on or blown by the machine. Watching the effects of the vacuum is its own reward. I liked that Dark Moon offers more monetary variety than the typical Mario game. You'll still be collecting gold coins, but there are also paper bills and gold bars. Bills are fun to suck up, and the bars are rewarding to find.
The highlight of the game is in conflict with ghosts. You will attempt to stun ghosts you encounter with a burst from your flashlight, and then catch them in the intake gust of your vacuum. Once a ghost is caught in the vortex, it will squirm around rapidly. By pulling away from it, you can charge your Poltergust for electric bursts. Each fight is a visual treat, with brightly colored ghosts and electrical discharges, swirling winds, and lighting effects. Catching multiple ghosts at once causes them to drop extra cash, with huge bonuses when you capture three or more.
Each location has about five stages, including a boss stage, and a bonus stage. The rooms you explore in each stage often overlap, but there will be differences from stage to stage - new treats might be hidden in the dresser, cobwebs might block a previously open path, or new passageways may appear. These changes keep the stages feeling fresh. Each stage (except the boss stage) contains a hidden Boo, found by illuminating invisible objects with the "dark-light device" - a paranormal flashlight. Capturing all the Boos in an area unlocks the bonus stage.
I feel that the mansion setting really benefits from the 3D capabilities. With the 3D slider on, you feel like you are peering into the mansion, a miniature stage set before you. The effect works well, and the game doesn't feel the need to remind you that you are playing a 3DS by using gimmicky 3D.
Give the trailers a watch - if the visuals or gameplay seem appealing to you, this is a must-have.
CHARACTERS: 5/5
I went into this game knowing NOTHING about Luigi, but I learned so much about his mannerisms and personality. I am in love, he is just the most adorable scaredy-cat ever. The Prof. and the Polter-Pup have such a refreshing nature, it makes me tap into my inner child.
MUSIC: 5/5
The music is great and very catchy, I won't be forgetting it anytime soon. It really fits the mood of a haunted mansion. It feels as if the main theme (the one used on Nintendo's website for Luigi's Mansion)is used more often than I'd like, but it's a great soundtrack so I don't mind.
IMAGERY: 4/5
The 3D use is spectacular during normal play, but distracting when using gyroscopic activities. During scenes like walking the rope, I think it is best if you turn the 3D off.
GAMEPLAY: 5/5
As I've stated before, I'm not an expert on the ways of the 3DS, so I don't know much about the console, but I do know that the controls were extremely easy to grasp. In my opinion, that simplicity is what makes the game really fun. Press L to puff out air and press R to suck things into the vacuum. Use the other buttons to explore objects in the Luigi-verse. Fun!
DIFFICULTY: 3/5
I don't think the game was particularly difficult, but I've died a couple of times. (That spider boss was pretty tricky.)
It gives you many rooms to explore and I love that it gives you some puzzles to solve. Took me a while to figure things out, but it is extremely rewarding to have solved it.
SUMMARY: 5/5
The work Nintendo put into this game shows. Every mansion is crafted with so much love and detail. I really appreciate little things like that, nice job Nintendo! If I could say anything bad about it, I'd have to say I dislike having to start the entire mission over when Luigi's health drops to 0. I also hate that the cut-in's and Prof's calls are still in effect when replaying the mission. It is really annoying when I want to replay for a higher rank or to find a boo. But despite that, it's an absolute blast to play with, I am addicted! I don't regret picking up this game at full price. If you haven't already, go buy it now! In my opinion, it is a 3DS MUST HAVE staple!
In this game some levels you’re gonna love, and others your gonna hate … lol, the game overall is incredibly entertaining for both kids and adults alike, but I think what I enjoy most are the lack of directions, at the beginning of the game you get a rundown for what to do and how to do it, but other parts of the game are actually challenging. I will say if you’re someone who doesn’t have a lot of patience some levels will be frustrating for you, I actually had to look on youtube a couple times and figure out how to get past a couple levels because the directions in game were a vague, but that didn’t deteriorate me from wanting to finish the game.
dark moon is definitely a mystery game where you have to figure things out yourself with mild directions, search around for objects and keys to help get in and out of rooms, and overall catch ghosts doing mischievous things like stealing keys or hiding objects, but I think that’s what makes the game special. In the first game you had to do similar things, in this game you get more add on’s that help the progression of the story and overall help the main character luigi!
If you’re someone who’s looking for a mystery game, with a good storyline and you’re a fan of nintendo I think this will be a good fit for you :’)
