Although it looks better on the big screen, “Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD” still has control scheme issues
“Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD” updates the visuals and some control issues of its previous iterations on the Nintendo 3DS. Everything old is new again in gaming. The industry has caught on to the idea that modernizing classics for contemporary tastes makes money. With these fresh takes on classics, developers upgrade the visuals and fine-tune the gameplay. Levels are reworked and that’s often done in service of improving the storytelling.
From there, Luigi acquires two other useful tools: the Strobulb and the Dark Light Device. The Strobulb stuns ghosts so that the Poltergust can suck them up. It also activates some of E. Gadd’s locked doors and other gadgets. Meanwhile, the Dark Light Device reveals objects hidden by Boos. If players get stuck, it’s usually because they need to cast a Dark Light on a concealed area.
In the first three mansions, the level design is basic and the developers ease players into the action. They’ll tug on levers to find secret switches or find ways to set path-blocking cobwebs ablaze. The campaign grows more difficult as players face bombs that activate when hit with Strobulb or they’ll find more subtle scenarios that require experimentation and problem-solving.
The other issue with “Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD” is that the jumps in difficult between the fourth and fifth worlds. Ghosts become harder to take down, so players need to work on their skills or they can replay old levels to gather treasure that allow E. Gadd to upgrade Luigi’s equipment.
