Anyone beat Luigi's Mansion yet?
I blew through the game and though it's a lot of fun it is short. However, the final boss is tough. Anybody beat
yet. He takes off so much of my energy so fast that I can't last long enough to even take even half of his.

I finally beat the game. I will put the details below in spoiler tags.
A nice game that I really enjoyed, but very short. It's at least worth a rental. I played for about 11-12 hours total and caught all 50 Boos. I needed no hints or help until the final boss. Just examine everthing, remember the clues and you will find the two hidden treasure rooms and defeat the ghosts without too many problems. I will probably play the hidden mansion at some point, but right now I'm going back to Golden Sun.

I also beat it very recently and recieving a *ahem* rank e lol but anyways it was the most fun with video games I've had in a while, albeit too short but fun nonetheless and I can see revisiting it later on in the Gamecube's life! Now back to Rogue Leader and try to get all gold medals *snicker*

My friend got GC the day it came out, he didn't have a lot of cash on him so he bought just one game (Lugis Mansion). He said he liked it a lot for about a week. The next week he was really mad that he wasted his money on a game that is sooooo easy he was done in 10 days. I have never played the game fully. Although I have tryed it and it seemed really good, but easy.

Wow! You guys have already beaten this game and found it easy? I wish I had that problem. I find this game infuriatingly difficult because I never know what to do. I've defeated the first boss, but now I'm just roaming through the house endlessly looking for any kind of clue as to what to do next. I've sucked up lots of mice and bats and opened every drawer and closet I can, but I'm clueless as to what comes next. I found the ballroom but can't seem to clear the room of those pesky ghosts with pitchforks and masks. What's up with them?

I got stuck a couple times because I missed something hidden in a mirror or just not obvious what to do next.

I just beat it an hour ago... took me 5 tries to beat the boss... pretty simple if you get a groove going.
I ranked "C"... my bro and I did it in about 20 +/- hours... great graphics, great enviroments, great overall game style...
the hardest ghost...
oh and...
... and here's a tip...

I didn't beat it fast but took my time and explored every nook and cranny. Ended up with an A rating and played it through again in the second mansion which really is the same thing only a little harder. I bought it from half for 40 and then sold it on ebay for 38 so I sure got my money's worth. Sure was a lot of fun!

I beat it in about 12 or so hours, loved it, sure it was a little easy, but tons of great tricks and stuff, great graphics.
Get all the $$ you can, and your payoff at the end will be better.

I think I ended up with a D rating. I was pretty disappointed because I thought I did a good job collecting money. I definitely have to play through the game again and do a better job. What's different the 2nd time through?

Questions:
1.) Do you get to see a different ending if you get a A rank?
2.) Is the ending different with the hidden mansion?
Thanks!
