I bought the game and played it almost all the way through before I even looked at the review. That’s how fun this game was and still is. I played it through again for a few hours each day this week, and I have deemed this as a classic. Gamespot missed on this one. Its not your regular platformer, but this has to be one of my favorite. Many people wanted a Mario game when the GameCube launched, but I went with the Luigi theme, and loved it.

Now on to the graphics. I was wowed when I saw this in 2001, and still, its held up to the times like so many other games have not. It really had its own style, and still is one of the coolest.

Sound has a bit to be desired. I wish there was different music to each hallway or area of the house. It would help. Its nice that each boss fight has its owns sound and music, but when playing the game in the regular rooms, it’s the same. That’s the only thing I can really complain about four sound, otherwise everything else is great. Although the orchestra was pretty neat the way that it would play the original Mario Bros. theme.

And finally value. You will want to play this game over and over. I have played this well over 3 times through. Its just one of those games that’s just pure fun to just go back and play whenever, even if its only for 15 minutes at a time!
