Today we’ll talk about from the title that broke with a tradition of Nintendo. In each release of a new console from Nintendo, the gamers expected see a new Mario in action. To the exit of Gamecube in 2001, where Nintendo abandoned this practice and took a chance to launch a video game starring Mario, Luigi’s younger brother. And thus we come Luigi’s Mansion, a title that still maintains divided to some players between which it loved and which it hated.
The adventure starts when Luigi wins a mansion in a contest in which never participated. Quickly has his brother Mario what happened and both are cited on the outskirts of the mansion that day, in the evening. Once you get to your new home, it perceives it much more terrifying than the photographic. As Mario seems to not have children to the quotes, Luigi will proceed to enter to the mansion in solo, but soon will be daunted by a ghost. This is when an old teacher equipped with a vacuum cleaner, which is presented as Professor e. Gadd, helps our protagonist trying to catch the ghost. Both are removed together as to appear more ghosts. Someone had a sense of nostalgia to remember this little intro of what awaited us at the mansion?
One of the things that most surprised of this Luigi completo Mansion was undoubtedly its playability. All expected a traditional platform game, but the formula changed drastically and now went to Luigi to control through a haunted mansion, with a camera fixed to the style Resident Evil. In this occasion our protagonist will have to his disposition a vacuum cleaner (Poltergust 3000), a lamp and the Game Boy Horror. The Poltergust 3000 is our best ally against the ghosts that inhabit the mansion. Also in the course of the game we will receive three medallions, which allow us to throw ice, fire and water. Regard to the method for sucking to them ghosts, not is so simple, must in first place illuminate them using the flashlight, and with this stun them. This les makes show his heart, which you gives to Luigi an opportunity of sucking them, of this way them damage, reducing progressively them points of vitality of them ghosts, until the marker is to zero, time in which can be captured. Fits mention that the heads of level have levels much more high, what hinders your captures.
There are different types of enemies, among them the popular Boos, which Luigi must capture to meet in the final battle against the King Boo, the main game antagonist. Different ghosts, especially a few so-called “portrait ghosts”, make up the heads of each area in which the game is divided. Capture these ghosts is pretty funny by the diversity of them and the situations in which we have to squeeze us head to figure out how to capture them, apart from the fact that its difficulty is greater than the of common Spectra who swarm all over the mansion.
And let’s not forget the famous Game Boy Horror! This gadget will be our ally at all times. Will be our via of communication with the teacher E. Gadd, our map and our Assistant to locate the following areas. In addition it also has a camera to take pictures of ghosts and even to teleport to the Entrance Hall of the mansion.
Graphic level, Luigi completo Mansion was one of the great catalogue of Gamecube. We showed what was going to be able to the new Nintendo console with shadows and reflections in mirrors in real time, translucent ghosts and effects of fabric tablecloths and curtains that made the game to shine by itself. Impressive graphically to be a launch title. Perhaps we were his biggest weak point in its duration, since we could easily finish it in a couple of hours. Although it seems that it kept us entertained until having Mario Sunshine in our hands.
In summary, Luigi completo Mansion is a great game. The decision by Nintendo released its sequel on a handheld hurt us more than one, but it is gratifying to see how this saga could see new deliveries in the future.
