The kooky professor's docile spectral assistants turn hostile when the magical dark moon vanishes from the sky over Evershade Valley, and old Elvin Gadd conscripts Luigi into service, sending him into the valley's creepy old domiciles to retrieve the artifact's scattered pieces. Luigi is a reluctant hero, more or less forced into once again taking up the mantle of ghost wrangler by professor E. Luigi may be afraid to discover what's behind each new door, but you'll be eager to uncover each mansion's mysteries. Contraptions that look like the work of mad scientists clutter old laboratories. Flashes of lightning cast huge shadows on the walls. Creaky old suits of armor covered in cobwebs line stately hallways. The five mansions you explore are the sorts of shadowy places children (and young-at-heart adults) can venture into and conquer, feeling all the braver for it, not the sorts that are going to cause any nightmares. The game perfectly captures the sort of genteel spookiness typified by Disneyland's Haunted Mansion attraction. Luigi has no respect for the privacy of poltergeists.ĭark Moon's greatest asset is its atmosphere. But alas, before all is said and done, things take a turn for the grim that casts a pall on Dark Moon's lively charm.
Luigi is an endearing hero fantastic animations provide some great moments of physical comedy and exploring the game's haunted mansions is a spooky delight. And at first, this ghostbusting adventure seems like a success for gaming's most well-known second fiddle. It's not often that Luigi gets a chance to stop following in Mario's trailblazing footsteps and prove his mettle on his own terms, but Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon gives him the opportunity.
His biggest claim to fame is that he's constantly overshadowed by the exploits of his brother.
