  The 3D effect is also well used, giving solidity to the environments and depth to the ghostly spectres. And as with the first game, the sound design is truly excellent. Add in a simple but fun multiplayer component and Luigi’s Mansion 2 is another game to add to an increasingly impressive list of top-tier 3DS titles.

  The problem with Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon is that eventually the game boils down to “poke everything”. Check all the furniture, strobe all devices and plants, send a blast of air towards anything fan-like, and throw a little black light around for good measure. ...Dark Moon is a likable if flawed journey through an enjoyably spooky world, and while it may not hold up to a long-term residency, it’s certainly worth a weekend getaway.

  Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon is a long overdue sequel that delivers on what players of the first game were wanting, namely more ghost busting action starring Luigi. The presentation is wonderful and the attention to detail creates a game that has a charm and feel all its own. The controls are a little confusing at times but if you can get over them you’ll discover a fun game.

  Though the main game isn't incredibly long, there are collectables, bonus levels to unlock, and multiplayer modes.

  Luigi’s Mansion 2 might be a sequel, but it’s one that shows Nintendo at its inventive best. It’s an essential game in the 3DS’ increasingly impressive line-up, and though I sometimes wished that it would leave me alone to explore more at my own pace, it’s otherwise difficult to fault a game this detailed, absorbing and masterfully made.

  If Dark Moon was just a single-player experience, it would have been a fleeting, yet enjoyable adventure. But with the addition of an infectious multiplayer element that can't be replicated anywhere else, it makes Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon even better than its predecessor, and one of the clear-cut best games on the 3DS.

  Like a trip through a carnival funhouse, the thrills of Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon may be simple, but they’re exciting nonetheless. Here’s hoping it doesn’t take another 12 years before we can get back into the ghostbusting game.

  Connection problems aside, I've really been enjoying the hell out of this new Luigi's Mansion. The whole thing is damn fun, especially for people like me who have fond memories of the Gamecube original. It's a good thing I didn't expect online play from the get-go, but that irritation is the only major downside. The rest is scary-good.

  For the most part, however, multiplayer supplements the single-player quest that is extremely fulfilling. Regardless of whether you played Luigi's Mansion, this sequel stands on its own merits, and in the process, became another fine entry in the growing 3DS library of quality titles in need of enthusiastic owners. Relish the experience.
