I find it better than the original in almost every way really. Yes, the first game had a spookier, darker atmosphere, but I'm having so much fun that I honestly don't miss it much. Although the ghosts are fought and re-fought again, I don't find them becoming boring because they're always changing up their motives. Sure, you see Greenies all the time, but when one pops out, you're always wondering "Well, what's he going to do this time? Will there be sunglasses, swords and shields?" etc. For generic, standardized enemies, the ghosts in Dark Moon ooze personality out of their (non-existent) ears. The portrait ghosts and backstories of the first game are kind of missed a little bit and it seems like the developers maybe thought about putting them in at some point, since one mini-boss fight in particular was reminiscent of them, but all in all, it's not a big enough issue to detract from this awesome, fun little game.
I'll go ahead and state my opinions on the game so far, compared to the original.
Like others, the original game is very close to being my favorite game ever; so it's natural for me to be extra critical against the sequel. I didn't necessarily have high expectations going into this though, as I assumed I would end up liking the original better anyways. There are certain things from the original I wish were still a part of this game, such as portrait ghosts. I'm also not much of a fan of the level system, I don't think it suits this type of game- at least, the type of game the original built a foundation for.
The game just 'feels' different, which is good since I didn't buy this to have the exact same experience as the original. Yet there's still that something that feels missing.
In its own regard, so far, I think this is a great game. Compared to the original, I can't say it as much improves over the original as much as it just adds more content to it.
I kind of look at it as a slightly different approach to what the original was about. The core mechanics are there, but I do feel this game varies from it enough to be more of an addition to the original rather than an improvement.
I'm only on the second mansion though, so my impressions may change.
Has any one had coins get stuck in furniture. Happened to me a couple times and once a gold bar was stuck under a table and i was not able to vacuum it in.Gets real annoying after a while

Thanks! It was my first time on it and it was really fun. If you ever want to again (or anybody else) just ask. I'll be playing all week.

I think a few times I've gotten gold bars stuck in another room! -_-
I actually don't think I've gotten any stuck in furniture, although I believe I've gotten money stuck behind garden walls, but Luigi can actually grab them through those.
@Emaan I'm getting a sense of déjà vu from your post.
I would have never guessed Weezing was so useful until I played a HeartGold Nuzlocke! My YouTube Channel! Video game related, of course! My Pushmo Levels
