Game Review: Luigi's Mansion

In Luigi's Mansion, for Nintendo Gamecube, Luigi has won a mansion in a contest and goes to check it out. Little does he know it's haunted, and that Mario has gone missing. So we are off to fight and save the day..once again.

The graphics, since it is as next-gen system, are amazing. The texture effects on things like tablecloths and curtains or lighting effects, especially with Luigi's flashlight, are equally wonderful. Luigi's character's graphics are solid and amusing, as he reacts to every single creak and groan in the house. The gameplay is intuitive and innovative, where as each major ghost has a unique way to capture it. The controls make good use of both joysticks on the Gamcube (GCN)The only thing that oculd be wrong with this game, is the fact that, while fun as heck, is fairly short, and might not have too much replay value. Overall, this is a must-rent and for most GCN owners, a must have.
