It's not as good as the first game, but LM3 is a fun experience. The game is much, much better as a couch co-op game than it is as a single player game. It loses some of the charm of the first game, and at times I deeply miss the charm of the first. Little actions like using the Gameboy as a camera and seeing the ghost profiles in your little ghost pokedex after you catch them.

Still LM3 is great fun and Gooigi controls just as well as Luigi. I'm actually surprised the game even has a single player design because co-op felt much much much more natural
