Ready for Luigi's next biggest adventure?
In just about a week Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon will be released to North America. To be more precise, it's official release date is March 24( for the US). It is a new sequel to the original Luigi's Mansion on the Gamecube. In this version Luigi's Mansion, Professor E. Gadd has been researching the ghost's in Evershade Valley, with some assistance from his friendly greenies ( green ghosts). All of a sudden, King Boo appears and shatters the Moonstone into six pieces, scattering them into each mansion. As a result, the once friendly ghost's become aggressive and mischievous.
So what does the Professor do? He calls on Luigi, of course, who at the time is at home sleeping with his TV still on. He wakes up when the Professor appears on his TV screen. He fills Luigi in on what has happened and eagerly asks him for his assistance. Of course Luigi doesn't want to do it being the fraidy-cat that he is. However, Professor E. Gadd uses his Pixelator to teleport Luigi through the screen to his saferoom in Evershade Valley to search for the scattered pieces of the moonstone.
Unlike in the first game, this Luigi's Mansion has not one, but six mansions to explore (one of them is just for multiplayer). The first is Gloomy Manor. This mansion is very similar to the mansion on the original Luigi's Mansion. The second is Haunted Towers which is a greenhouse mansion built around a tree. Next comes Old Clockworks. It is a clockwork mansion in a desert environment. The fourth is Secret Mine, a snowy built near an abandoned mine. The fifth mansion is the main hideout of King Boo. The final one is an exclusive one for multiplayer only. It's called the ScareScraper. I'll explain more about it in multiplayer.
You will encounter three main bosses and two sub bosses in this game. The main bosses include a gigantic spider that chases Luigi in Gloomy Manor, haunted stairs in Haunted Towers and, of course, King Boo. The two sub bosses are a ghost known as a Poltergiest, located in the Gloomy Manor. The other one is a female purple gardening ghost in Haunted Towers.
Now on to multiplayer. As I mentioned earlier, the Scarescraper is a special, multi-floored mansion that was made especially for multiplayer. It can be played using wi-fi, a local connection, or through download play. There are four modes that can be played on the Scarescraper. The first is hunter mode in which you and up to three other players try to catch all the ghosts on all the floors before time runs out. The second mode is Rush Mode. In this mode all you have to do is escape the Scarescraper before time runs out. The next mode is Polterpup Mode. In this mode players have to work together to capture a ghost known as a Polterpup on all the floors. The final mode is Surprise which randomly chooses one of the first three modes.
Just like in the last game, Luigi is equipped with the Poltergust 5000. However, this time around it has two new features that have been added to it. The first is called the Strobulb. Players charge it up and then release a powerful beam of light to stun the ghosts. The longer you charge it, the greater the range. However, some ghost's use objects to block the light like shovels, pot lids and sunglasses which will have to be removed using the Poltergust 5000 which was also in the first game.The second new feature is a Dark-Light which shines a rainbow colored light that can be used to find the path of Boos and invisible objects.
I have a very strong felling that this game is going to be one of the greats on the 3ds and I cannot wait to review it!
