But in addition to the mindless mobs like this, Luigi's (previous) Mansion also had denizens with backstories embedded in the rooms around them.
There are a few ghost archetypes, each with their own set of characteristics and occasional variations. Even the ghosts themselves have very little personality. Every boring mission cliche is here: Fetch quests, escort missions, even a timed mission close to the end that made me want to throw my 3DS in a lake. But it's not the stopping and starting that injures the experience it's the banality of the quests themselves that irks. Gadd's lab, they weren't nearly as frequent or egregious. While the last game interrupted your quest with pit stops back at E. Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon's mission-based structure is a step back from the comparatively open environment of the original title. The Poltergust's other new feature, a blacklight which exposes hidden objects, is fills an overly specific niche most of the time, when you get stuck on a level, it's because you didn't shine your blacklight in the correct corner to expose the invisible cupboard you needed to find.
Strategically corralling, flashing and vacuuming them all at once is satisfying, but if your aim is off, you're going to be in hot water.Įach of the game's missions is peppered with hidden treasure troves, bonus levels, collectible gems and wayward Boos for you to find and suck up, some requiring more brainpower than others to tackle. Which, there almost certainly will be - Dark Moon tosses ghouls your way liberally. In Dark Moon, once they're in your funnel, you've pretty much got 'em - assuming there aren't any other ghosts around to get in your way. In the original Luigi's Mansion, ghosts broke free of your vacuum's hold pretty easily. There's not much in the way of new mechanics, but what's there is helpful enough. Also, as you pull against the panicked escape of a ghost you're vacuuming, the Poltergust itself charges up, allowing you to drain a ghost's stamina in huge bursts with enough patience and thumbstick dexterity. Enemies must now be stunned with your flashlight's strobe bulb (which can be fired in quick bursts or charged to shine at a wider angle) before they can be vacuumed into containment. The Poltergust 5000, a mechanically and numerically enhanced version of Luigi's Mansion's Poltergust 3000, aids Luigi in this task.
Luigi just happens to be the only man fit for the job.
Gadd, the inventor who serves as Luigi's armorer as it were, needs someone to deal with an outbreak of mischievous ghosts plaguing the region. There's very little setup for why Luigi has gotten back in the ghost-hunting racket at the start of Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. There's not much in the way of new mechanics, but what's there is helpful enough
