To me, an RPG is where you do about as much talking as you do fighting, and fighting is turn-based and you level up to get better. You might say the Zelda games are RPGs because you always get more and more health, or not because you fight on the overworld. Does Luigi's Mansion qualify as an RPG? I barely think so, but I've read somewhere about it being almost one. You don't level up, but you do talk quite a bit, and you have to find special items in order to progress.

Absolutely not.
That was a joke.

RPG's are more of collecting items and fighting and talking.

I hate to say it, but LM is an Adventure, not an RPG. RPG's are like.....building your character and living life. That's why they're called RPG's.

Yeah, that's what I thought. I didn't come up with the idea. Somewhere I read something along the lines of "Luigi's Mansion is almost an RPG, but still almost an adventure game." I thought it was crap.

Do we have to slam everything into a genre? Luigi's Mansion is a pretty unique game. I don't think it deserves one. It's definitely not an adventure (Zork, Myst, Secret of Monkey Island).

Too loud, sir. LM is neither turn-based or stat-building.

No sir, it is not. It's lacking a turn based battle system.
As a game that requires six friends, an HDTV, and skill, I can see why the majority of TMK is going to hate on it hard.

Would you happen to remember where you read this?

I've never heard anyone call that an RPG, though.
