Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon

I've not played past the first mansion as MH3U has been taking all my gaming time.

Replace "MH3U" with "HarmoKnight and Hydroventure: Spin Cycle" and we're on the same page. The first boss is ready for a beatdown, though... in fact, I might destroy him before I leave for work.

Fifth mansion is best mansion. Ballooooooooning!

Not a fan of the third at the moment, so much so I think I'll go back to the second and get some better rankings

I'm enjoying it, but I've had to turn the 3D off & can only play for around 20 minutes before stopping due to hand cramps.

Managed to break a level on the fourth mansion last night. Sucked up a pearl/stone thing (which is at the bottom right of the image below), walked through the campfire, and got stuck between it and the wall. I like breaking things.

So am I the first to finish this? A truly heartwarming ending sequence too, down entirely to the well-developed character of almost everyone and everything in the game.

YES! Even better than the second?

I'm enjoying the fourth mansion at the moment. It's gotten off to a better start than the third (though the third picked up in missions three and four.)

And I love how goofy and dense the Toads are in this game. They're incredibly endearing.

In my opinion, although it doesn't have the playroom and that was pretty great (that doll... brr). But I love being able to balloon everywhere.

Just got to the fifth mansion. Thought the fourth mansion boss was a bit iffy, I didn't like the change in playstyle much. This is still one of my favourite games in a long time.

It wasn't very Luigi's Mansion, was it? I still enjoyed it though. Better than the second one, at least. I felt that the whole "suck the white ghost deer up three times" was a bit tired by the end.

Also, what's the deal with some ghosts that have those multiple skins that you can suck off? Is that how ghosts work?

I can only deduce that the Possessors were reptiles in a former life. Reptiles, or really strange cicadas.

So I'm about halfway through the fourth mansion and I agree with the general consensus here that it's an improvement on the third, but not quite as smart as the second. And the gyro challenges have had me wailing loudly with Luigi as he loses his balance *again*.

I'm enjoying the way the game makes use of the Toads, although it took me fricking ages to work out what to do in the first mission of mansion four and I made about 3 circuits of the level before I realised!

I missed the door right above the rotor in the fourth mission of the third mansion, so I wandered up and down a bit looking for the Toad transport solution a little longer than I should've.

The gyro bit in the first stage of the fourth mansion is likely to keep me from a 3* rating for some time.

Do hate the fact that I missed a Boo on the second mission on the third mansion, I don't want to go back and do that one again

I'm on to the fifth mansion, which is channeling The Crystal Maze with its multiple zones. The way banknotes flap about in the game also reminded me of the finale of The Crystal Maze. I think I'm obsessed with The Crystal Maze. Wish someone would make a Crystal Maze game.

Depressingly often at work, the students are coming to the end of a task that I've set them and I will say "You've got a minute left. Push the button, get the crystal." Amazingly, considering it's been eighteen years since it last aired, some of them still get it.

In on-topic news, I may have done the reverse of some of y'all in that I've swapped out LM2 for Castlevania.

That's a really weird coincidence: seventh question down...

For shame, Zero! Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed what I've played of MoF, but it just can't hold a candle to LM2. Not that it would want to, because that would make it less dark and gothic and brooding and stuff.

It's entirely in keeping with my preferences, though - the only thing better than an RPG for me is a 2D platformer.

Bad Balla!

Luigi's Mansion has taken the place of Castlevania in my 3DS slot, need to get back to it before I forget it

We all have off days!

I do plan to return to 'Vania. I've got a business trip by air coming up, so I suspect I'll play some there. Assuming I've finished HK by that point, which is not a given...

We do. I call mine "days".

I spotted a sentence on this page that really made me giggle because I'm immature and it sounded wrong, see if you can find what it is.

Only on the 3rd mansion myself at the moment but it's great fun, 2nd boss I can agree was BAD but at least they tried something a little different. actually no, it was crap. Finding the third mansion quite interesting though, sets the scene well for a believable haunted building.

All I have to say at the moment is Damn Clock boss

Damn clock boss indeed.
