Old School Sunday: Luigi’s Mansion Review – Who You Gonna Call? Luigi!

***This is an intro post in a new series for our website titled “Old School Sundays” where on Sundays–not every Sunday but most, Anissa here will drop a review of a video game that’s not by any means new. Not new but going back into “Old School Territory” of video games you may have played and loved even–perhaps even a video game you missed. Enjoy!*** This definitely used to be my favorite game for Gamecube. It was just too much fun! And it honestly was kind of scary, lol. This game had an awesome storyline, pretty good graphics for the Gamecube, and a great soundtrack! In this game you solve room puzzles, use a vacuum to suck up ghosts and shoot fire and ice, and pretty much explore a haunted mansion. If you haven’t played the game, let me paint you a picture!

You win a mansion in a contest that you don’t remember entering. You walk through these dark, spooky woods at night to meet up with your brother, Mario. When you enter the mansion, Mario is nowhere to be found. Luigi meets this weird looking scientist that tells him the mansion is haunted and filled with ghosts. He gives you a vacuum cleaner to suck up the ghosts. It sounds simple but it actually gets pretty difficult with every new type of ghost.

So like I mentioned, you suck up the ghosts with your vacuum cleaner. You are also equipped with a flashlight. The light from the flashlight stuns the ghosts when you flash it on their heart and the vacuum is used after to suck them up. They are stored in Luigi’s backpack…
