10 Worst Video Game Heroes Of All Time
1. Luigi (Luigi’s Mansion)
Worst Offence: Scared of his own shadow. And everyone else’s shadow.
We like Luigi. We like his extravagant moustache and his commitment to green issues (specifically, his clothing). What we don’t like, though, is his sheer cowardice. Don't get us wrong, if we were in a haunted mansion, we'd be terrified too, but hey, that's why we play games - because video game heroes are supposed to be braver than we are in real life.
Luigi’s Mansion is insanely enjoyable. Luigi in Luigi’s Mansion, on the other hand, is all over-the-top squeals and Hanna-Barbera-ish animation that renders him totally annoying.
He slows to a crawl, teeth chattering, in the face of danger, because gamers love being told they’re moving way too fast. Apparently. If that’s not bad enough, his irritating yelps remind us of those yappy dogs old ladies insist on taking on the bus.
Spend too long with Luigi and he’ll have you wishing you were playing as Baby Mario, it really is that bad.
