- With the sequel to Luigi's Mansion coming out over 10 years after the original, many fans had high expectations for Dark Moon. But it seems those expectations were not met. So today, join me and @JeffCompass as we take a look at this game in-depth and see what it did right and what it could improve.

Prime example of a game being judge based on its predecessor rather than what the new developers set to achieve. While flawed in some ways the game shines with its exploration. The environmental puzzle solving and interaction are leagues above the original game.
What I really liked about dark moon was its focus on puzzles and the gem and boo collection quests. The original only had the most basic of puzzles like lighting candles with your fire energy and such but dark moon, and especially the Twisted Mansion, sometimes felt like Zelda dungeons. I also really liked how much better the combat worked for me. On the other hand I think the ghosts of the first game were better overall. I was always very annoyed by the ceiling ghosts but the ghosts in dark moon don't feel threatening at all (except for the first time you see the mummy, but even that turns out to just be a greenie). Still, it is not as bad as in the third game (where the ghosts really no longer feel like proper ghosts at all, more like imps or something like that, just look at what they do on the disco floor). I think combining what made both games so good, the controls and puzzles of the sequel and the atmosphere, the ghost and the story design of the original would make a truly great game.
Yeah, combining the benefits of both games would be ideal. I agree 3 was a bit of a letdown in hindsight but I thought it was fine enough.
the value of the mission structure is replay, allowing you to just replay a single mission and having a star to go along eith it is great in my opinion, it also allows the mansions to evolve with time and meant you where only able to get certain gems at certain points, it would be perfect if after completion you got access to the whole mansion at once, but not having that makes the mansions more mysterious early on
NO! THIS IS STILL MY FAVORITE LUIGIS MANSION TO THIS DAY!
I love all 3 LM games, personally. They're all different, but also good.
The correct answer
15:35 Well there's his first mistake, who tf hires a TOAD to look after anything 🤔
This entire game is just uncovering more and more as to why E. Gadd should enter retirement
I will never understand why they didn’t just call the game Luigis Mansion 2: The Dark Moon
And now they’re dropping the subtitle for the Switch port and calling it “2” across all regions…
@@Kardino i miss the subtitle
How does this have less than 1k views dude you deserve a million subs
Thank you!
Coincidence is that I started playing LMDM today after over 6 years of not playing it from start to finish!
Hope you enjoy it! It might be one of my favorite 3DS games!
Your channel deserves more subs
No first game has better atmosphere and music
personally I never really liked this game. The pacing felt really slow and the bosses were pretty bad. But I will admit it did have its moments like the Scarescraper and King Boo's fight.
Fair enough. Different strokes for different folks
On its own it’s good, but as a sequel to the original it’s not quite what people wanted.
ive always played the scarescraper with my cousins because my 3ds came with luigis mansion 2
Such a great mode!
90 hours? Ohhhh no . . . I have over 400.
Wow, impressive!
bro i had 5000 hours. i really loved the game.
Did you leave that on overnight or smth? Thats like two thirds of a year
@@notchris4764 i wish. when i was like 6 or 7 i play this game every single day that i got on for
If anything, they absolutely killed it on the online port
Agreed!
Never played the game, but this was an interesting essay!
Thank you! If you have a 3DS lying around I’d say it’s worth giving it a shot!
This game's scarescraper is the best part. Way better than 3's
I agree! I actually never played much of 3’s but I remember 8 players feeling like way too much.
10:01 PURPLE GUY?!?!?
Want a video on the third chapter
Definitely in the plans
I liked it
I really mean no offense but the guy you brought on legit just sounds like he hates the game
That might have been a scripting issue. I don’t think he hates it, he just doesn’t think much of it as a sequel.
Dark moon was trash. Mansion 3 was good.
Nintendo disagrees
@Kardino what are the odds. Wonder if they'll give mansion 1 on switch as well.
I disagree, Dark Moon is my favorite LM game, LM1 is a close second and 3 is the weakest to me, and I think all the ghosts in Dark Moon have more personality than the ones in the original LM
@@andrewvanover9747 each their own. The constant stopping by e gadd on the tele3ds and once we are getting somewhere, "return to me old bean" to select the next chapter of where we have to walk back where we left off. Killed the pace for me.
@@projectz358 Yo can explore the whole mansions in the last level of each. But yeah, I get what you mean.
