Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon

While Mario has always been strong and courageous, his brother Luigi is not. Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon follows the less daring of the two Mario Brothers as he explores through homes with a lukewarm timidity that will make you giggle as much as it will make you sympathize with the game's green-hatted hero.

Dark Moon, the successor to the original Luigi's Mansion for the Nintendo GameCube, is a pure adventure game. You'll solve riddles, gather cash, and generally enjoy the game's eerie – but never terrifying – environments. Dark Moon is the bite-sized adventure you've been waiting for if you're looking for clever, humorous platforming.

Luigi progresses through five distinct themed houses, collecting ghosts and completing riddles to advance to the next level. Dark Moon has a cooperative multiplayer option that may be played locally or online over the Nintendo Network. Critics gave the game mostly excellent reviews, complementing the game's 3D aesthetics and new features, while some criticized the game's mission-based structure and absence of checkpoints.
