I didn't mind the mission-based structure, and I liked revisiting levels multiple times to see what changed. The controls are a massive improvement over the original, which I often found frustrating to play. The environments are charming and fun to look at, being one of only a handful of games to make really good use of the handheld's 3D effect. There's a lot of cute characters, fun puzzles, and the boss fights were more interesting than I expected. I'd definitely recommend this game to anyone that had issues with the original Luigi's Mansion.
