Luigi's Mansion let's Mario's little green buddie shine in a battle to cleanse a haunted house of ghosts. The graphics really shine in this short but sweet game.

Like all classic Mario and Luigi games, this isn't about slaughter and destruction. Luigi is trying to help out his friend Mario with gorgeous graphics and fun gameplay in the background. Luigi is cleansing a haunted house with a vacuum cleaner, destroying the ghosts and gathering up loot.

The graphics are really great. The dust in the air, the mirrors reflecting, the lights shining. This game really shows the power of the GameCube. And the game is classic Mario, with puzzles and thinking over gore and harm.

On the other hand, the game can be over simplistic. It's great for kids, but for many gamers the game lasts a few days before it's over. The replay value, once you figure out the puzzles, isn't very involving.

Great fun for the younger set, and a great way to see the GameCube's graphic power.
