    Welcome ladies and gentleman! Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon left its mark on the 3DS back in 2013. Created out of fan demand for a revival of Green Mario, did Nintendo deliver a quality experience with Dark Moon? I firmly believe so.
    As mentioned in video's end, credit for Dark Moon footage belongs to aggressivegamer.

    Hi everyone! I hope you enjoy the review! I just want to apologize for the brief color inversion during the music section. Sony Vegas is acting up again with the renders but I fixed the issue a few days after this video released.

    I actually love that you when you die you have to start over from the beginning of the mission. What I feel like most Nintendo games do wrong is that they’re too forgiving. Adding this penalty makes getting the bone crucial for difficult stages and adds a level of intensity that I like. It makes missions like Paranormal Chaos amazing.

  • @worldsboss
    @worldsboss Год назад +7

    People were really harsh on this game at one point, but I absolutely loved it. I never expected a game set in haunted mansions to feel so cosy and charming, but this one somehow managed it! I liked the mission-based levels because it felt like every time I visited each mansion, things changed in subtle ways, meaning that I was always incentivised to explore. I didn’t really mind the lack of ghost variety, although I recall being a little disappointed with the bosses. Overall, I agree - absolute masterpiece!

  • @PALWolfOS
    @PALWolfOS 6 лет назад +21

    Wow, this review was really in depth and interesting!
    It touched upon a lot of things that I took for granted.
    One thing that I feel I should mention with regards to the game mechanics is that the Darklight has certain combat features the game doesn't mention:
    1. You can use it to see ghosts while they're moving around invisibly
    And more importantly:
    2. You can use it to make ghosts taunt you, leaving them open to your flashlight
    I think that learning this made the Darklight more important as a tool to me than it may have been otherwise.
    Although I do agree that puzzlewise, the Darklight was fairly simple

    • @IKGProductions
      @IKGProductions  6 лет назад +3

      +Joshua Samm Thank you for the compliment on the review! I can’t believe I missed the fact that the dark light can help in combat- thank you for the knowledge. But yes, it’s a shame that puzzlewise it’s a bit simple. Still fun though!

    picked up my 3ds in 2015 for this game specifically. loved it. best game in the series in my opinion. Secret mine is a completley different vibe. its such a shame it only had 3 levels as it was by far my favourite mansion. This game has effected me in way like mario kart wii. (i was a kid at the time) the music, the levels, the nostalgia, the atomosphere, its something truly remarkable. i doubt we will get a game like this in the future

  • @warioland523

    One thing I like about this game is each level it seems that the places get more and more hostile. Gloomy Manor it starts to rain and cobwebs start to litter the place as well as objects disappear. Haunted Towers has the place become not only more waterlogged but plants start to pollute the place. Nothing was more creepy then coming out of the Pixelator only to have a giant Venus Flytrap staring Luigi down and growling at him while it's vines cover up the gate he needs to continue. Old Clockworks becomes filled with sand and dust and the place haves an overall feel of things rusting and breaking down. Secret Mine is set in a harsh winter. As the level progresses the blizzards become more and more violent eventually to the point that Luigi gets snowed in inside the mine's workshop and E. Gadd has trouble contacting him. The Treacherous Mansion is just outright hostile from the get go having all the problems of the previous mansions and more. The mansion also seems to have a dark secret in the form of a vast network of dungeons and labs beneath it giving off the idea that King Boo has a sadistic side to him in torturing his prisoners. The place also starts to fall apart when King Boo activates the Paranormal Portal.

    I genuinely really liked Dark Moon. The controls and ghost catching mechanics are significantly more enjoyable than the first game imo, and the Dark Light is one of the coolest introductions to this series by far. While the main story was a little repetitive at times, I'm being completely honest I barely noticed it in my first playthrough. I thoroughly enjoyed exploring all the mansions to get all the gems and 100% the game.
    The first Luigi's Mansion had the superior spooky vibes, but I prefer Dark Moon's gameplay a lot more.

    Great Review Gavin, I loved the jokes you put in to spice it up, and I agree with a lot of your points except for the repetition, I know the dog and toads are reused but they never bothered me because the location made it feel like a bit of a different experience. I agree with you on the gameplay as it feels much better than the first especially in combat. And while the game does have lots of charm I feel like the first game did more in the fact that there were a better variety of ghosts especially with all the special ghosts they put in. I prefer the first game just a tiny bit more because of the non linear style because I just love exploring a huge mansion. The second game is much better structured though

    I think egadd has the key to the treacherous mansion since it's implied he lived in evershade valley since sometime after luigis mansion 2. We see his Lab in gloomy manor so it's safe to assume he lived there. We know he attended tea parties with the three sister's at the haunted Towers so it's also somewhat safe to assume that he Visited the other mansions too, especially when you consider the installed pixelators in the other mansions.
    I assume the ghosts owned the keys to the mansions but have given them to egadd as only he and the toads really have use for them. After all the ghosts can just Pass through walls and come and go whenever they want.

    it's been many years since this was uploaded but I only found it and I'm glad I watched it all the way through. Put together very well and you explained everything so I understood it all. I own the game since 1 month after it's release and at that time I didn't even know because I was just a 9 year old kiddo. But my 3DS still hasn't given up on me after almost 10 years and I still really love Luigi's Mansion 2. I have these phases where in I play online scarescraper alot and sometimes even replay the story mode (I really lost count how many times I finished it XD). And sometimes I don't touch it for months, but that doesn't mean it's a bad game. I gifted myself a switch for my birthday in december and got myself Luigi's Mansion 3 with it and I'm just amazed of the series and how much I enjoy this. I recently finished LM3 aswell which means I can go back to playing 2 again. I loved it so incredibly much as a kid and growing up with it, it's so much nostalgia when getting back to. I agree on alot of your points said and I'm glad to see someone being this positive about the game. This truly is my favourite 3DS game alongside Mario Kart 7

    I immediately subbed when I saw this video. Only 3 other RUclipsrs have I subbed before even finished halfway with the video, and Chuggaconroy was one of them. I love Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon and I would say it rivals some of my most favorite games of all time. (Those being Mario Kart Double Dash and Mario Party 6 respectively... and that is due to both being the first video games I have ever played)
    And I have nearly 100% Dark Moon, with one exception, the Scarescraper ghosts. Due to majority of my friends getting distracted playing games like Smash Bros 4 3ds, i struggled to find friends to play the game with me. Added that playing online nearly led to problems with communicating, and I really wanted to communicate with friends while playing the game. I figured if I wanted to get all the ghosts of the scare-scraper, I have 3 friends and then split ourselves into groups of 2(The most common and ideal strategy). Other than that, 3 starring missions like E-4, E-5, and F-1 were nightmares to complete, and I managed to do it.

    I had the luck to have both a gamecube and a 3ds and i played both of these games.
    Even though i prefer luigi's mansion because of its atmosphere, exploration and ghosts, i have a lot more fond memories for dark moon.
    I was sad to see the exploration part gone and it is a criticism i have for dark moon, but it more than makes up for it in its amount of content and also variety of settings.
    Both are 9/10 games for me.
    I havent had the chance to play lm 3 because i dont own a switch but when i do that is the first game ill buy
    Luigi's Mansion is a special franchise that i hold dear to my heart.

    I still think I like LM2 over 3 because of the world building. LM3 is definitely trying to recapture the original game by having a large singular mansion. Each floor is like the theme rooms of the original mansion. But LM2 builds around separated mansions. I think this benefits the atmosphere of each world in LM2. The floors in 3 feel kinda forced and hamfisted sometimes. I enjoy the floors in LM3. But I think I prefer how the level design in 2 gives each location it's own identity.

    I grew up with this game. The ending was so heart warming I even teared up. Dark moon remains to have the best ending out of the 3. Tbh LM3 didn’t really capture that feeling IMO but the game was also phenomenal because of Gooigi. The introduction of Gooigi and his use is sooooo weird and fun.
    Tbh I prefer dark moon’s atmosphere then LM3.
    But there are certain floors that Capture dark moon type atmosphere but with a different art style.
    I did play the original on the 3ds. All these games are my favorite and they are a gem in the Mario series.
    Ps I prefer Dark moon’s Ost then LM 1 and 3
    But LM1’s Bogmire battle theme remains the best of LM1s ost.

    I know I'm 3 years late on commenting but dark Moon is one best games I ever played on the 3DS because I got my 3DS in 2012 Christmas and I didn't really play on it that much sadly but the next year exactly a year after I got my 3DS I got Luigi's Mansion dark Moon I have to get told to stop playing on my 3DS because I loved that game so much I beat it eventually and I eventually lost my DS never found it so let's fast forward to early 2019 I have a friend who has a 3DS all this from his past he has Luigi's Mansion dark Moon he let me borrow it I get sick I keep the game for an extra week kinda couldn't control that point is for a long time on my DS that was the game that was most played I had the most time on it was the most on everything the game is amazing and this is a paragraph long response why do I do this to people.

    @godomoths242 28 дней назад

    There are three Main aspects in luigis mansion 2 that make it my favorite game out of the series.
    First: the Mission based Mode allows to give the Player a feeling of time. For example, we see the gloomy manor get progressively more enwebbed until the Boss which is, fittingly, a spider.
    Luigis mansion 1 can seem bigger and more open Witz it's 4 areas but they somewhat like so im happy that 2 mixed it up with different biomes and luigis mansion 3 has the problem that the different floors arent interconnected. You stay on a floor for 25 minutes, fight the Boss and have virtually no reason to return Unless you wanna hunt the boo. That's why I feel like luigis mansion 2,evej though it's split across 5 different mansions, makes the mansions feel more wacky and personal than luigis mansion 1 and more interconnected and bigger than luigis mansion 3.
    Second aspect is: the ghosts. The ones in 1 looked very generic and didnt do much. Thes literally just Popped up with a weird laugh and started chasing you. 2 however has more varying ghost shapes and the ghosts are given more personality. They do dumb and fun little things just to mess with Luigi etc. 3 however really amps up the style and makes the ghosts Look....too detailed in my opinion? Sure they are still wacky and fun but they look too normal. Besides that, the ghosts in 3 are obnoxious to fight because of the New combat System and the game only really makes use of the Standart blue ghost. You rarely see the Red or purple one, let alone the hiding yellow ones.
    Number three is: as already menntioned, the combat System and gimmicks. 1 is kinda lackluster with combat and gimmicks. You have the vacuum, the elements and the flashlight. The vacuum really jist... Sucks. Which isnt as satisfying and becomes a real pain when you gotta fight boos.
    2 has a perfect Balance with combat and gimmicks. You still have the vacuum and the flashlight but now you also get the blacklight and the strobulb. Flashing several ghosts at once with a Strategic strike feels amazing and the combat feels fun and
    Smooth. It's satisfying to get a good pull in and suck up as many ghost as you can at once.
    Now 3 has.... Too many gimmicks. You have the vacuum, strobulb, blacklight, plungershot, gooigi and the gustshot... Plus the supervac which can only be accessed like 3 Times in game...
    The combat feels more slow and tedious as you have to make the ghosts connect to poltergust before the tug o war game begins. This makes it much harder to get combos. Also the game makes it so that you let go of the ghosts after you slammed em 4 times so you gotta Flash and catch the ghosts again. Lastly, the slamming is fun but leaves you vulnerable and doesnt feel as satisfying as the tug mechanic from 2. Also correct me if im wrong but you cant jump while catching ghosts to jump over obstackes or dodge ghosts in 3....

    While having a fully explorable mansion at all times would be just the coolest, I think the game looks phenomenal as it is! Besides, the original was still pretty linear. The keys all went to their single respective spot, so you always visit the rooms in mostly the same order.
    *cough* _some1 pls make a mod that opens up all of the mansions' pathways at all times with no mission selection_ *cough*
    I also heard that one of the main complaints about the game came from the limitations if the console itself. That being, not being able to move and aim independently, due to a lack of two sticks. I don't know if the gyroscope is a good replacement for that.
    It's interesting that you have to restart the mission after you die. It honestly does kinda make you tense for avoiding death, that's kinda what survival horror games do, reset your progress until the last save.

    Totally underrated and overly hated - love all three games and yeah, it's not a good Luigi's Mansion "sequel" as such but it's a brilliant game on its own merit and have played it all the way through loads of times over the years, great review!

  • @ThrillingDuck
    @ThrillingDuck 5 лет назад +12

    Great review of Dark Moon, probably the best I've seen (and not just cuz it was favorable lol). I think that those of us that prefer the sequel are actually in the minority of the fanbase though.
    It's always refreshing to hear someone say "linearity does not equal bad" because so many gamers and reviewers seem to genuinely believe this with no actual thought put into the mindset. Linearity is a wonderful thing when the story takes advantage of it and that's exactly what Dark Moon does - it just keeps things fresh and moving. Even missions like the Poulterpup chases are made more annoying by the way they're framed, but in execution they're just as much general fun to me as any other mission. They're absolutely no worse than chasing Boos around the mansion in the first game and more fun to me because they're actually scripted and there's way fewer Poulterpup missions than Boo chases in the original.
    Really this game only falters with the bosses, and I actually like both the first boss and all 3 bosses in the final mansion. Dark Moon has some FIERCE competition in the 3DS library but overall it's still my absolute favorite game on the system, ESPECIALLY among the original titles (meaning discount remakes like Majora's Mask 3D which is a godly remake of an old masterpiece lol). Most of the fanbase may prefer the original but I for one am incredibly glad that Luigi's Mansion 3 seems to be copying the aesthetic style of Dark Moon, because I just think it suits the series better. This is a fun, goofy, adventurous, occult romp - not an actual horror game like the original's aesthetic implies. Dark Moon captures that perfectly while still being sufficiently creepy.

    Speaking of the three other games of the Year of Luigi,I hope Luigi’s Mansion 3 will have at least one level based off of one of those games! Say there’s one level where one Toad is in a deep sleep and Luigi has to enter the Dream World in a similar fashion to how Mario does so in Mario & Luigi:Dream Team. The level could be focused on finding “Dreamy Toads” to help wake up said Toad,help Luigi in combat because Dream World versions of ghost appear in larger numbers or are stronger than their Real World counterparts,and also help him to progress through the level by getting in formations similar to the Luiginoids from Dream Team or the Rescue Squads from Paper Mario:Color Splash. They might be able to form a tower like the Luiginary Tower or like the Green Rescue Squad,help Luigi pull heavier objects like the Yellow Rescue Squad,or throw themselves into soft ground and allow Luigi to pull up onto them and swing from one another in a somewhat similar fashion to the Purple Rescue Squad. Affecting the sleeping Toad might also be able to affect the level in a similar way to how affecting Luigi while he is sleeping would affect the Dream World levels in Mario & Luigi:Dream Team. I will give you my ideas for Dr. Luigi & New Super Luigi U themed levels later.

The game is indeed a absolute masterpiece on every level, the game feels right at home on the 3DS and one game I'm so glad I picked up.

    I'm always disappointed when people ignore one of the best cutscenes in the game. It's the one where Luigi first uses the key on the front door of Treacherous Mansion in e-2 and Luigi looks into a pitch black room and turns around and after the flashlight flashes the camera and King Boo is right behind Luigi looking at him then when Luigi turns around he dissappear. That cutscenes gives me chills.
