Luigi's Mansion 2001

Is it still worth playing?

Nintendo's 2001 action adventure and a GameCube launch title. Luigi explores a haunted mansion to rescue Mario and battles ghosts with a vacuum cleaner supplied by Professor Gadd. The story takes place over four areas, sets of explorable rooms between boss fights, and between areas you can visit a training room and a gallery in the professor's laboratory. In each area you explore rooms and hunt the ghosts in them, getting keys for locked doors, and fight a boss ghost at the end. Luigi uses a flashlight, the Poltergust 3000 vacuum cleaner and the Game Boy Horror, a mobile device. To capture a ghost you stun it with the flashlight to reveal its heart, then suck it up. Three elemental medals let the Poltergust handle fire, water and ice ghosts. Every ghost is still a small two step puzzle, stunned with the flashlight and then sucked up.
