Average Mario adventure: Yippie got to defeat the big bad in this cute world! Average Luigi adventure: OMG THE DEAD HAS RISEN AND MY FREINDS ARE BOND TO PAINTING, THIS IS MY LITERAL NIGHTMARE. Other then being shocked over the Luigi's cardiovascular health, to not have died of a heart attack during these games, I actually did quite enjoy Dark Moon. The art style holds up well compared to the first, and feels more fun and Nintendo like, gameplay additions and tweaks make controlling the Poltergust much more enjoyable and functional, and the overall feeling and tone of the game are well polished. If anything I have to knock Dark Moon for having a very iffy difficulty curve; as in while it was overall on the easier side, it never felt consistent. This combined with the occasional performance issues work to lessen what could have easily been a 4.5 or closer to 5 rated game. Still great though, definitely worth a play some goofy Luigi fun!
