Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon

Ok, I know this game came out last month on the 24th, but I just finished beating the game with my friend. I don't own the game, but since my friend does I just played along with her. I feel like I'm ready to finally talk about it. This game... is amazing. It's the perfect sequel to the first Luigi's mansion. It's easier in terms of finding items (no weird furniture humping... LOL), the boos don't try to escape into different rooms when you try to catch them (however, you do need to use the dark light [a new function of the flashlight] to find them within the room), and the controls are easier and really comfortable. Each ghost has different abilities, the red ghost will try to beat you to a pulp, the pink ghost will scare you and disappear a lot, and the green ghost will use items to block your flashlight so you can't stun them. These are some of the elements that gives the game a challenge. There are going to be moments when you actually jump while playing the game, so don't be ashamed. Now, as awesome as this game is THE GAME IS A TROLL. I'll give you a good example. Me and my friend are playing the clock  towers boss. When we finish, our stats were TERRIBLE. Like, really, really, bad. Guess what ranking we got. That's right.... a gold rank. NOW, SOMEONE TELL ME HOW THAT IS POSSIBLE?! I 'm still trying to figure it out. There's also the loveable, but really annoying, polterpup. This cute ghost dog will steal your key to move on in the story A LOT! You have to constantly use the dark light to follow his paw prints so you can find him and get the key back. However, even when you find him, the dog runs away and you have to start the search over again. There's also the fact that at the end of the mission, polterpup escapes your poltergust and you'll have to face him again in the next mansion. There's also the toads. OMG they are scared of the stupidest thing. Example: Ice level mansion; mission: rescue toad; what is toad afraid of: ICE... =_= WTF! Okay, enough about me ranting about the game being a major troll. I love how for this game we actually go to different mansion and are not stuck in one mansion. It gives the feel of an actual adventure game. The non-y ghost enemies were very helpful throughout the game by giving you health and money, which are VERY important in the game. Money gives you upgrades and health keeps you alive. The puzzles are easy, but also pose as a challenge and give entertainment. The boss fights can be very entertaining as well as hard as hell. This game is basically for those who loved the first Luigi's Mansion and/or want to give Luigi the hero credit he deserves. I feel like Nintendo gave a great start to the Year of Luigi. I can't wait to see what Mario's younger brother does next. Maybe we'll finally know what he did during Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door (I'm really hoping so. That was a major tease). I hope you all have a great Year of Luigi.


By the way, if your curious on what me and my friend's stats were for the clock towers boss, here they are:
Time: 12:20
Ghost: 35
Health Loss: 224
Treasure: 410
Rank: GOLD

KINGDOM HEARTS DREAM DROP DISTANCE SECRET ENDING RANT

Ok, by now everyone should know about the secret ending to KH: Dream Drop Distance. So, I think it is an approiate time to rant about it. Don't get me wrong, I love every hint the ending gives to us about Kingdom Hearts III. My problem is: WHY THE HECK IS KAIRI THERE?!!!!!! I mean seriously?! Kairi is all of a sudden important?! She hasn't been important since the first game! Why is she all of a sudden a very important character according to the secret ending?! Kairi is the most useless character in the game! Sure, she can weild a keyblade, but she CAN'T FIGHT FOR CRAP!! We've seen her fight in KH II. She swings it around like a toy. She served her purpose as a damsel in distress. In all honesty, I forgot Kairi even existed after the first game. Every time she popped up in the other games is the only time I remembered her. I know I'm Kairi bashing, but you have to admit it is true. Kairi is the princess peach of Kingdom Hearts and we ALL know how "useful" princess peach was. Square Enix is going to have to try REALLY HARD to make me think Kairi is going to be useful in KH III. *sigh* I guess we'll see what happens when Kingdom Hearts III comes out in 2014 (my estimated year. The probability of this being true in my opinion is 95% since KH 1.5 in coming out Fall of this year). Tell me what you guys think of Kairi. Do you think she will be useless like always OR finally become useful in the series? For I am only one fan. I can't really speak for all fans. I'm still thinking about doing those vlogs btw.Those are my thoughts. Voice of a Gamer signing out.
The only reason I put this here is because it's so cute :3
In my world: useless
