    This was the exact level of analysis and treatment. this game deserved. It was such a stellar classic back when Nintendo's quality seal was to a much higher standard. The fact that this title is 20 years old and still this enjoyable and look this gorgeous only speaks to the insane powerhouse of developers back in the early 2000s working on GameCube titles!

      Wow, thank you! It really was a phenomenal launch title for the system and seeing how well it holds up 20 years later is a testament to the game design. Glad you enjoyed the review and get it got the analysis it deserves!

    Luigi's Mansion will always have a special place in my heart because it was my very 1st GameCube game and it started my love of the GameCube. Plus the game is FANTASTIC

    • @GameCubeGalaxy

      Luigi’s Mansion is such a spectacular game, and easily one of the quintessential GameCube experiences (especially at launch)! Even replaying it entirely for this review, I had a hard time putting the controller down. Thanks for checking out the review man!

    Great review! I remember playing it on the Gamecube but never got around to finishing it - glad to see the gameplay has held up after all this time 😀

    • @GameCubeGalaxy
      @GameCubeGalaxy  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I highly recommend finishing it one day! Such an amazing game for the GameCube, and seeing how well it’s held up all these years is a true testament to the game design. Glad you enjoyed the review!

    So I never played the GameCube version but my wife randomly bought me Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon on the 3DS a few years back. I actually really enjoyed it a lot! It was simple but fun. The mini bosses and main boss battles looks fun and it's good to hear that they are challenging but fair. Wow, $44 Million for an E rank home?! Sounds like the housing market right now with all this inflation. I think your score reflects the game pretty well, it's a must-own for me and I'd love to see them do more with this franchise.

    • @GameCubeGalaxy
      @GameCubeGalaxy  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Highly recommend playing this version of Luigi's Mansion, as it still holds up so well! Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon was a great sequel for sure! That's awesome your wife got you that! Yeah, $44 Million for an E rank home is reflective of our current housing market for sure lol. I also recommend Luigi's Mansion 3 on the Switch! Thanks again for checking out the review, TC!

    Agreed with the ghosts running into other rooms it’s infuriating and they continued that with 3 and that stupid ghost cat, that ruined it for me. The game boy horror is such a nice touch, and agreed this game still looks beautiful. Great video and great review my friend

    • @GameCubeGalaxy
      @GameCubeGalaxy  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yeah, the ghosts going between rooms got tedious towards the end for sure. And yes, I despised that dumb ghost cat in Luigi’s Mansion 3! I remember doing that the first time and thinking, “wow, that was awful. There better not be anymore sequences like that.” Boy, was I wrong…
      The Game Boy Horror was such an awesome touch, and visually the game is stellar. Glad you enjoyed the review man!

    Nice one. I never thought of the term 'survival horror lite', for this series, I just simply saw it as a contrast to the main Mario games, in which these games didn't really have platforming. I really need to get or play this game again. I played it for a bit with a friend, and even rented it - only for it to not even start [and give off a somewhat scary noise when doing so]. I enjoyed the third game so much, but a revisit with this game is prob overdue for me.

    • @GameCubeGalaxy
      @GameCubeGalaxy  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This is definitely my favorite in the series. I really enjoyed Luigi’s Mansion 3 too, but the setting of the first game is flawless in my opinion. I’d highly recommend revisiting it! Thanks for checking out the review! Glad you enjoyed it!

    I will never forget when I first got this game, I played it all night and when I finished the game. The sun was coming up irl and in the game. I’m pretty sure that’s why the campaign is so short. I love this game for its charm, ambience and the fun gameplay!

    • @GameCubeGalaxy
      @GameCubeGalaxy  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Wow, that’s pretty awesome you beat the game matching time in real-life for the sunrise. I feel that would make the game more epic. It definitely nails the charm, ambiance and gameplay! Thanks for checking out the review (and sharing that cool experience you had with the game)!

  • @Commodore128
    @Commodore128 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great video! Yeah, Luigi's Mansion is one of my favorite games out there. I would play it over and over when I was younger, and I still return to it ever now and then. It's the perfect length to play through in a weekend or a few days! All 3 games in the series are great, but this first one still has an atmosphere and playstyle that hasn't been topped in my opinion.
    I agree with your little gripe about the late-game Boos though. Chasing them in and out of hallways, from one room to the next, gets pretty tedious. I guess that's why you technically don't need to catch 'em all in order to beat the game, but the reward if you do is worth it!

    • @GameCubeGalaxy
      @GameCubeGalaxy  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It really is an excellent game that’s held up so well 20 years later! And I agree, it’s definitely the perfect length for a weekend. I’ve grown tired of super lengthy games that add so much filler, that I much prefer a trimmed down, memorable experience that grips me from start to finish. Those Boos at the end though…definitely tedious work lol. Glad you enjoyed the review!

    This game is awesome even though I’m not a fan of Horror games. I sadly sold my copy because of condition and I’m still looking for a Black Label copy. Still one of the best GameCube games 20 years later. Great Review as always.

    • @GameCubeGalaxy
      @GameCubeGalaxy  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh man, definitely hope you can nab a good Black Label copy. I agree, it’s definitely still one of the best GameCube games ever made, and the fact that after 20 years it still impresses me the way it did when it first released, is a testament to the game design. Glad you enjoyed the review!

    Looks like a fun game! This was an awesome review to watch since I did play the second and the third games and never had a chance to play this first game. The graphics looks really really good for it’s time especially on the “GameCube Horror” which I thought was a super creative idea for this game which to me looked super cool. Awesome review once again and after watching this I hope to get around to play this game some day as I am a big fan of this series!

    They only started my favourite console ever with the best sub series of the most iconic video game mascots. Every game in the series is slightly flawed in some way, yet Nintendo magic at its finest. If 3 was in 3ds 3d on Switch OLED format... No game would ever beat how visually pleasing the result would be.

    • @GameCubeGalaxy
      @GameCubeGalaxy  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Luigi’s Mansion really was a fantastic and unique way to kick off the GameCube. I’m so glad this series got to see 2 sequels over the course of the years, and the first game was appreciated more after people looked past the “it’s not a traditional Mario launch title” aspect. Thanks for checking out the review!

    Such a great game! A good one for hardcore horror fans and for family friendly style video game players. This series is one of those series that did the “Leash” style mechanic right. The graphics def hold up til this day! You’re right the pacing is perfect for this game. The bosses are really creative for the time. My issues with the game was the currency. Instead have having money effect end game I though they missed out on using it for in game things. Maybe more power ups or upgrades for the Poltergust. Awesome review man! You hit all the points right on the head!

    • @GameCubeGalaxy
      @GameCubeGalaxy  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That’s a good point about the currency! It would’ve been cool (or more incentivizing) to get items and upgrades from it. I love the game’s pacing! It’s perfect in my opinion and just the right length. I also agree that all the bosses were very creative! Glad you enjoyed the review man!

      I’d say watching your brother play it gives you a good way to experience it, but man, it holds up so well all these years later. Replaying it for this review, I had a hard time putting it down. Thanks for checking out the review!

    • @GameCubeGalaxy
      @GameCubeGalaxy  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Agreed 100%. I feel like back in the day, people would give it a hard time for not being a “traditional Mario launch title”. I always viewed it as an introduction to survival horror, but for all audiences. Glad you enjoyed the review man!
