Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon

I’d been wanting to play this for such a long time, and last week’s eShop sale gave me the perfect excuse to do so. This game is just so much fun, and I’m constantly wowed by the entire presentation, particularly the sound design – it’s an absolute joy to hear Luigi hum the soundtrack, as it’s playing. The only criticism I would have is that even though the “levels” aren’t particularly long – around 20 minutes or so – if you do die near the end, it can be a bummer to have to redo the whole thing (but it does go a lot faster when you know exactly where you need to go). This is easily one of the best 3DS experiences out there, and I would rank it as my 3rd favorite game on the system (following The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds and Super Mario 3D Land).
