Luigi’s Mansion 3 in the Test
Twice already, Marios larger, but younger twin brother was as involuntary as the Ghost hunter, in use: Once on the Nintendo GameCube and twice on the 3DS (Remake of the original plus sequel). After a long break and Skipping both Wii as well as Wii-U, he must attack now to Switch back to vacuum cleaner and flashlight and prove that he Ekes out partially, wrongly, the existence in the shadow of his little big brother.
“Cordial congratulations, you’ve won, won big prize”
What should you of Mails or letters with a similar subject is no secret. In the Mario universe, but there is seemingly no Spam Filter or the residents are just too trusting. As Luigi and his friends are invited by an Unknown – even if in correct German – a free stay in a luxury Hotel, you think nothing of it further. Luigi, Mario, Princess Peach, and three Toads to pack your bags and go to the secluded hotel grounds. There you will be welcomed as the only guests in the huge Hotel skyscrapers of the hotel owner, Sarah Schreck, personally and in their individual room to themselves after the exhausting journey only once to rest. The friend’s clan should know by now is actually better: What seems too good to be true, etc., It comes, as it must, and Luigi wakes up in the middle of the night in an eerily transformed hotel room. In search of his brother, and their friends, he encounters a suddenly very different looking Sarah Schreck. It turns out that the invitation was a trap, and Mrs. Schreck only wants to impress the revered – and in the meantime, of your freed – king Buu Huu. This has imprisoned Mario and his friends are already in the supernatural portraits, and another frame is ready for its arch-enemy of Luigi. But it can escape at the last Moment by a (more panicky than brave) jump in the Laundry chute for the time being.
Rudely in the first cellar, landed in the basement, he finds in the Garage oddly enough, his old Ghost hunting equipment. With this against ghosts prepared, makes Luigi timidly the way back to the Hotel Lobby. Because even though he would have after his last two adventures actually slow in the Supernatural to get used to, he is still extremely timid and is frightened, even if its in part 2 of adopted Ghost dog Stag Pinscher suddenly appears. The doors of the Hotels are boarded up, the help of outside leaves get so. In the mezzanine, he finds at least one explanation for the unexpected technical tool in the Ghost hunting. Professor I. Gidd, the somewhat quirky Explorer of the Paranormal, is the previous king Buu Huu and his admirer into the grid (or portrait) and is now hanging (on the wall). Thanks to the gloomy lamp mode of the found flashlight – makes the invisible visible and brings people and objects from their two-dimensional paintings prisons – is exempt from the quirky scientist soon and Luigi to at least a supporter of rich. Hesitates too long, and a mobile lab in the Garage is. The leg work must, of course, make Luigi, but the common goal is clear: König Buu Huu and his ghostly capture of the likes of again, and by the way, Luigi’s family and friends to save!
Who you gonna call? Luigi! (Sure?)
A successful Ghost hunt is a multi-step process. Especially, if a bore-up flashlight necessary to replace the proton pack and a converted vacuum cleaner, the spirit of the event. With a flash strobo flash the flashlight on ghosts to be paralyzed first, and vulnerable made. With the of Professor I. Gidd developed Schreckweg FL-U, you the only short-defenseless mind to absorb. This is going to be very enthusiastic and try to escape. Similar to the fish, it’s in the right dimensions to hold, and the spirit slowly, his numerical shown the power to suck. You hold it for a while successfully on a vacuum cleaner pipe, you must spin it with the press of a button, even a few Times against the ground – that costs a tidy energy and weakens even hit ghosts.
Real Ghost does not want to be only learned once much more extensive, the Action component of the game is but also. Luigi can jump nor crawl or Crouch, a real platformer is the title so at any time. Even the so – called print Romper – a fierce air emissions of the vacuum cleaner, the Luigi briefly in the shoot-doesn’t change anything. Instead, you have to find with a sharp eye, and sometimes a little brains, the secrets, and in the future. Just hidden things the great Hotel is really a lot of. On each level are in addition to oodles of cash in the Form of notes and coins in hidden also five jewels. Sometimes they are easy to find and it is sufficient, for example, to suck a carpet from the wall, or to amass by reversing the suction power – for example, Sand, a ramp. Other times you have to do a little more and about a number of hidden objects in a room, switch in the correct sequence of keys or the rotary switch is in part, at the same time manipulate.
My friend the Blob
At the same time, how is this possible? Well, Luigi is not quite as alone as you suspected at first. Professor Gidd has developed in the course of his research, namely, apart from a jelly like substance, which can be controlled by Luigi quasi-telepathically at a distance. He leaves the Schreckweg FL-U-bearing green Jell-o, forming his alter-Ego “Fluigi”. The can do (almost) everything, what can Luigi and also make the grid, ventilation shafts but also deadly sting is no obstacle for his fluids, the body is falling. His only Nemesis is any type of liquid, because of this is deprived of its cohesion. Except in Co-op mode – Yes, you can play the Story to the second – you can always just use one of the two taxes, the other is in a kind of Trance. BUT the last action – the sucking of the spirit or obstacle, the Turning of a fan with reverse suction performance, etc. – will continue anyway. Only certain Puzzles to solve, enemies to defeat, or secrets to uncover – and of course tons of money “suction”.
Help, I’m rich!
What do you do with all this found money? In fact, very little. The cash can be in Professor E. Gadd’s laboratory in a Shop and invest in the selection, however, is strongly limited. Life in the Form of a Golden bone, you can buy there. One of these Stag Pinscher holt, in the case of our impending death, before he wakes us again. Otherwise, you can only purchase the card tips for the already mentioned jewels and also everywhere hidden Buu-Huus (smaller versions of the king Buu Huu). Collecting of these jewels and ghosts brings at least a little? A matter of opinion. All together, there is a small visual reward that brings playful, but no benefits. Personally, I find that you can dispense with the ghosts in any case, your hunting is slow, a little varied, and the reward is absolutely not worth it. In the case of the jewels, the reward is as worthless, but searching for them requires, at least sometimes, brains and is associated with some funny ideas and Easter Eggs.
Who feared, in principle, that the 15 floors and two basement floors of the Hotels could offer little variety, on the other hand, be reassured. The supernatural component of the hotel complex ensures a structurally not quite comprehensible spaces and floor plans, and besides, it has of well-known Las Vegas Hotels to be inspired. So, not only are there areas that you could find in many real Hotels – fitness center, concert hall, shops, etc. – but all the levels that have been tailored to a specific topic. In the “haunted castle” awaits us, for example, in addition to the medieval architecture of an Arena velvet knights play and in the “Eco-house” has ghostly green stuff taken control. In addition, a beach bar – with the cave of pirates and a real sand beach, a Museum and even a film Studio for more than enough variety.
A little damage to the uninspired English Translation is. Craft – so grammatically and spelling-technically – of course flawless, it simply listless how you translated certain things. In English it has played in the naming of things, places, and opponents are aware of: the Name of the hotel “The Last Resort” is a wordplay, because “Resort” is referred to, in English, a tourist hotel complex, “the last resort” but also “the last resort” (from a desperate Situation) can be. Also why the spirit of a great concert pianist, Amadeus wolf spirit is, it should be clear to everyone. If the Hotel in Hui-the Hotel and the Pianist button is then easy to Torsten, this is a bit of a shame. The spirit of an Egyptian (!) To name a Pharaoh, but Sandra striker but then he is English-English.
For dessert, lightweight, multi-player fare
The Story of the game is absolutely linear, and depending on the researchers ‘ urge to take care of it in about eight hours easily. In addition to the ability to pass control of Fluigi a friend, there are just a couple of Mini-Games for multi-player games. Coin hunting, Ghost hunt and cannonade be played in Teams against each other, and the Name reveals the aim of the game: Which Team can collect the most coins, will catch the most ghosts, or hits with a cannon most of the targets. Of varied the thrill tower is mode, in which you must free with up to three friends – all of Luigi’s in different colors – a five – or ten-story Mini-skyscraper of ghosts. The fight against the time, some of the special Traps and Surprises and only here-to-find special variants of certain spirits make this mode the most Interesting.
CONCLUSION:
To establish Luigi’s, the third attempt as a Ghost hunter a really nice and solid Action-Adventure. Easily in two to three days done, I get off just any replay value and the multiplayer modes seem like an afterthought. Nevertheless, a family-friendly adventure with a few nice ideas, a relaxed atmosphere and not too challenging puzzles.
