Luigi's Mansion

The game is a remake of the 2001 GameCube Title of the same name. This version includes multiplayer and achievements, but is poorly done, as it was not made by Nintendo or Next Level Games (the makers of Luigi's Mansion 2 and Luigi's Mansion 3). It would have been better on the Switch and made by Next Level Games. The ghosts are not that scary, and resemble traditional bed-sheet ghosts. The Portrait Ghosts (mini-bosses in this game) resemble people (or a dog in Spooky's case, or an Octopus in Jarvis' case) and require critical thinking to defeat. The controls are easy to learn. The only scary part of the game is a part when you fight the Portrait Ghost Bogmire, who represents the mansion's fear and despair. He looks very abstract and somewhat nightmarish, resembling what I think a ghost in our world would actually look like.

The gameplay can be very challenging and confusing at times. It’s best if you start playing it around 9-10.

I've seen Nintendo make some great games over the years. From Super Mario Brothers to Warioware, there has been a great selection of games. However, one has stood out among the rest. That game is Luigi's Mansion. As far as character morels go, it's pretty solid on the importance of family. I mean, Luigi, who is easily frightened by anything, is risking his life to save his brother from a haunted mansion. He truly cares for his brother and would risk everything to help him. The "violence" in this game is super mild, even by Mario's standards. The ghosts play the equivalent of small pranks on Luigi's for the majority of the game. As for consumerism, there is a small amount, but remember, this is Nintendo we are talking about. Luigi's Mansion is technically part of the Mario Brother's franchise. However, overall, this game is great and I would recommend buying it as a gift for kids.

For all of you people who think this game involves demons, don't worry. It doesn't contain any malicious content at all. The violence is nonexistent or kept at a minimum. I will note that when a ghost does enter the room, it will release a laugh that, when you aren't paying any attention to the game or if you are very jumpy, such as I am, the noise will surprise you. Otherwise, totally kid friendly.
