General Commentary and Game Overview
This is a generic minigame where Luigi gets bombarded by Phantos, and you have to survive as long as possible using power-ups. There are also global highscores, so you can see how you stack up to other people that have downloaded this game.
 
Pros + Global highscores
+ OGG music
+ A variety of enemies to dodge and power-ups to collect
 
Cons - Looks crappy in full screen
- After the first minute-and-a-half of this, it gets pretty repetitive
 
Impressions
Gameplay
6 / 10
It's a top-down game where you simply have to move Luigi out of the way of oncoming Phantos. I'm sorry, but this game got repetitive and a little boring after the first 90 seconds that I've played it. Normally I would give this a 5, but since you have global highscores--which actually motivated me to KEEP playing--I'm rating it a 6.
 
Graphics
5 / 10
I have a very big problem with graphics clashing in games. So when I saw SMB2 Luigi and Phantos against a SMW background with a SMG(?) life counter, I wasn't exactly fond of the result. Maybe having a more SMAS-ish background may help--such as the SMB2 castle.
 
Sound
7 / 10
The sound was definitely the high point of the game. It captured the general spooky alert feel, and this was paired up with modern day NSMBW sound effects.
 
Replay
5 / 10
You run around, trying to beat your best and the ridiculous global highscore of over 4000.

That's pretty much it.
 
Final Words
6 / 10
If you don't have anything else to do, play this game. If you have something else to do, do it.
