Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon

I always play with the 3d on unless said game doesn't need it *glares at* New Art Academy

If I'm at home, in range of a mains socket and in the right lighting, I enjoy the 3D, but when I'm gaming on the go or out and about I tend not to bother.

The best 3D, for my money, was MGS3D. Crawling through the bushes felt ace.

I use the 3D on when it's in the afternoon.

Paranormal Chaos was hard? Oh. I didn't have any trouble at all with that (after I remembered to upgrade my Poltergust).

Almost there now (I think), and as it stands the second mansion is still my favourite by quite some distance. The fifth mansion feels a bit... bitty, and that boss involving the train was annoying.

Tonight, if the odds are ever in my favour, the second mansion should fall. My current rate of play is one mission a day, which suits me fine. Still not as into this as most of y'all are.

It's already out in my day.
I mean the other Luigi one.
Wait... your talkin' about Luigi's Mansion 2 right?

Yes, I'm talking about Luigi's Mansion 2! I beat the boss of the second mansion last night and broke my own rule by doing the first mission of the next mansion, too.

Haha!

I finished this yesterday! Despite a few gripes, I can happily confirm that this has replaced Star Fox 64 3D as my favourite 3DS game, and the cinematic at the end even brought a tear of joy to my eye.

Wonderful stuff. For now, I'm sticking it on my shelf, as I intend to return to it and improve a few scores in the future. Games as good as this deserve to be savoured over time.

Spoiler:

I'd love to see another game in the series, though I'm not sure how they'd stay true to the Luigi's Mansion vision without it feeling a bit samey. The basic levels did start to overlap a bit as the game progressed (not a complaint; more an observation).

D'awwwwwwwwwwwww!

Has anyone snagged all the gems yet? Some of those bonus rooms could persuade you to throw your 3DS at a wall with how they're placed often quite late on in levels.

I have all the gems in one mansion which one? I can't remember

You mean the last gem on level 4, right? That was a pain in the behind. I do have all the gems, but I'll admit that I used a guide for some of them.

That's the one! The worst thing being that one moment of hesitation in those timed rooms spells failure.

Not keen on the timed challenges either. I almost had a panic attack in the fifth mansion because of the timed element of the coin collecting. Luckily I managed to get all of the goodies first time round, but if I'd had to do it again I would have had to return many times as I end up thinking about it too much!

Paranormal Chaos did that to me a bit. The time limit suddenly appeared and I all like "Noooo! So many rooms to visit! Aargh!". Good job the Super Poltergust was up to scratch, or that level would've been very frustrating.

I may have to do it again as I can't remember that level for the life of me

Ever so slowly making progress. A few nights ago I decided to go back and grab all the Boos from the first mansion, after I realised that you could get a bonus mission for doing so! I got that bonus mission last night. It's starting to grow on me but it's been slow about it.

I must admit, I haven't played any of those bonus missions. I hate high-score challenges.

I was wondering what you get for collecting boos, so whats the extra for all the gems?

Erm... Pretty statues?

No thanks!

I put this down after I finished it and am yet to return. I like to have a spell away from a game I've very much enjoyed.
