Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon is the long awaited sequel to the wonderfully fun and classic game Luigi's Mansion, which was released in 2001. This game makes full use of the incredible graphics that only Nintendo's innovative handheld, the 3DS, can deliver. Play through the spooky adventures of the often overshadowed Luigi, and ghost bust your way through as many mansions as possible to make the world a safer place. Play as the ever curious Luigi, who has been sent by Professor E. Gadd via teleportation to investigate notoriously haunted mansions, with a mission to capture all the ghosts. You are armed with a flash light and your trusty super vacuum cleaner, the Poltergust 5000. Using these upgraded everyday objects, you must make your way through each mansion by clearing every room of every single ghost; by doing this, you will earn keys that give you entry to previously locked rooms, allowing you to progress ever deeper through the mansion. In order to clear the room of ghosts, you must use your flash light to stun the spooks; this is done by first charging the flash light so it can unleash a super burst of light, a strobe, in order to daze and confuse them. When a ghost is stunned it becomes vulnerable as its hit points become exposed, and this is when you turn your Poltergust 5000 on them in order to wrestle the phantom in to submission by decreasing its hit points until it is weak enough to be captured. A new electric attack has also been introduced to Luigi's Mansion 2, which can be used should the ghost try to escape via an action command, which requires you to tap a certain button at just the right time in order to quell the spook. Luigi's Mansion 2 has been completely overhauled and revitalised to make full use of the Nintendo 3DS' capabilities and technology. The gameplay and the environments through which you travel are visually brilliant, with incredibly detailed rooms right down to the furniture, wall decorations, and even the cobwebs. Luigi himself tip toes around as he explores, and gets a fright when a ghost decides to spring up and scare him, amply showing the attention to detail that has been put into this game. The technology available with this handheld device has been incorporated for an overall better gameplay experience, with the 3DS gyroscope meaning that when you tilt the 3DS, it lets you aim Luigi's flash light and vacuum cleaner. All of these aspects and more mean that Luigi's Mansion 2 was more than worth waiting for, as the 3DS brings to life all the details previous technology could not. Now get ghost hunting! (Cat Emerson)
