Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon

The ONM review gave it 92%. I've not been able to restart Luigi's Mansion as of yet, so I'm not getting this any time soon.

Escapist 4.5/5, IGN 93%...

Still can't decide whether I can actually afford this next week...

I can.. I don't need food

All the reviewers/critics on Twitter who have played this are raving about it. "One of the 3DS' top games" was something I read earlier. WANT NOW!

Having beaten Luigi's Mansion yesterday afternoon, I've decided that I'm in. My complaints from when I first played it still stand: it doesn't look great these days, the controls are somewhat fiddly (dyspraxic man ), it's desperately short and if I have to watch that key in the lock animation one more time I will be rather unhappy. However, it looks like Luigi's Mansion 2 will iron some of those out. I'm going to pre-order it today (with any luck)!

ive got preordered in GAME becuase i want that stress ball boo, nice to pick up a new 3 ds game not sure when i will play this as im getting lego city the same da, and more and likley still have bioshock to finsh and mionster hunter will keep me going for ever.

Cannot wait for this. I even coupled my GameCube up to the television to give the original a spin yesterday.

I hope I'm getting my stress Boo. I too pre-ordered from GAME, but nothing about a Boo was mentioned in my order...

I don't get anything with my pre order

My copy dispatched from ShopTo this morning, hopefully meaning that it'll arrive for my day off tomorrow. Excitement levels are high, I must admit. I've not been this excited for a 3DS game since Mario Kart 7.

Those posts are four days apart, people. Self-contradicting FTW! FTL? FTW! I don't know!

Anyway, my pre-order went in yesterday and I'll collect the game at lunch time Thursday. Hopefully it'll come accompanied with a few StreetPass hits. I've not hit the excitement levels of some of y'all about the game but it'll be nice to get my 3DS out again for something, seeing as I've gone off Tales Of The Abyss for the moment.

I ordered my copy Monday > got the dispatch email today > should have the game tomorrow.

Ye gotta love shopto.

I'll hopefully will have the game at midnight. Although it is a little worrying that the eshop still has no idea how much it is going to be the day before release

My copy is sat upon my duvet as I type this! As soon as I'm done with forum shizzle, I'm booting that bad boy up.

And I might start Luigi's Mansion 2.

Played the first two areas of gloomy manor & it really is fun stuff, its one of those Nintendo games that makes you laugh out loud too, the only thing that has annoyed me is the sound glitch where the sound effects disappear entirely.

...but yeah it's fun & oh it looks great as well.

I wonder if they'll patch that glitch? It'd be unfortunate if someone who has no access to the internet experienced it.

Hi, I pre-ordered LM2 from Amazon and it should be arriving tomorrow. I'm very excited but all the same think I missed a trick...there are those of us who pre-ordered it from Game and already have their copy.

And a Boo stress ball! Opening it tomorrow - tonight, sleep.

I hope they do, though I don't know if this audio glitch happens randomly or or just the once during the opening level.

My avatar is scared of the stressball...

I've finished gloomy manor now (hooray! for no sleep) & the final part of that section is really clever.

I quit the mission when this happened, not realising that you then lose ALL your progress. The second time, I fiddled about with the map zoom during the cut scene, which has an accompanying sound effect, and it was fine.

Not hugely liking the mission structure at the moment, if I'm honest. The one sub-80% review out there (Gamespot, I think?) says that the checkpoints are too far apart as a result: I'm more peeved by the bittiness at this early stage. That said, I've only played the one mission so far (much of it twice...). Does anyone know whether things like gems and treasure are available across missions?

EDIT: The gems are, at least. That makes me feel slightly better about it.

Picked this up this morning in the way home from the bank along with copy for the missus. I haven't played much yet but what I have played is like the best Aardman animation never made. It s just pure fun, . And completely sells me on the Year of Luigi. He's a funny guy!

gems are transferrable across missions and as an added bonus, replaying missions will allow you to stack treasures, meaning upgrades!
