General Commentary and Game Overview
While short and simple, Luigi: Insanity is a fun and mild horror game (I say "mild" because it's really not that scary; just slightly startling at times). Kidnapped by a ghost version of Luigi, Professor E. Gadd calls the real Luigi on his GameBoy Horror and asks him for a rescue. Luigi heads over to the mansion where E. Gadd is being held captive, and he must investigate objects in each room to get to the professor. Every once in a while (and by that, I mean twice), the ghost Luigi will start to move toward your location, and you must find a safe hiding spot and hope the ghost doesn't find you.

The game is fun, but I feel that if it were a bit longer and scarier, it could be an amazing horror game. With that said, let's proceed to the game itself.
 
Pros +Cliche story, but it works nicely for a kid-friendly horror game.

+Great music and graphics.

+Easy-to-pick-up gameplay, as simple and linear as it may be.
 
Cons -It feels a bit short; this game can easily be beaten in a matter of minutes.

-Not very scary, but maybe that's because the game needed to be kid-friendly to be accepted on the site.
 
Impressions
Gameplay
7 / 10
It's incredibly easy to get used to, as there aren't very many things you do in this game. It's also incredibly short; easily beatable in mere minutes.
 
Graphics
10 / 10
Outstanding. If you've been studying the art of sprites like I have, you can tell that most things are set to one style, while other things (like Luigi and E. Gadd, for example) are in different styles. However, this never causes any horrible clashing or anything; it looks good.
 
Sound
10 / 10
High-quality sounds and custom SMW music that fits the mood nicely? You KNOW you gotta sign me up!
 
Replay
10 / 10
I would absolutely play this again. Mildly scary games like this one remind me that horror games don't need to be pee-your-pants, jump-and-hit-your-head-on-the-ceiling, give-you-nightmares-or-make-you-afraid-of-the-dark-like-you-were-as-a-child levels of scary to be good.
 
Final Words
9 / 10
I'm not a huge fan of horror games (thanks to games like "Five Nights At Freddy's", I'm actually scared of the dark again), but this one is mild enough to be enjoyable for me. You'd be a fool not to download this game.
