"Just Ordered Pikmin 2"

Without ever playing a Pikmin game so it's your jobs to tell me how good it is so I can put my mind at ease. Also tell me what sort of game it is how long it lasts you know the basic stuff. Oh and include a couple of OMG IT'S REALLY GR8!!111

It was a good game while it lasted, well saying that I never did finish it. Resi4 is the only proper single player I've completed since Wind-waker. Proper multiplayer games alway seem to take precedence. I will come back to it one day, as I will Eternal Darkness!

I enjoyed both of those greatly, but I grew tired of both Pikmins very quickly.

*Agrees with Dringo*

The Piklopedia was a fun addition too.

No... way. The caves were ingenious, especially the later one such as that rolling boss cave, that was smart, and the one that required only one type of Pikmin and so forth. It was a very very smart little system.

The levels were broader, the enemies more interesting, new additions for the Pikmin were useful and the loss of the "bombs" were not missed at all.

The Pikmin swayed and sung, the collectables can be located in a seperate menu, the game was far longer and even more addictive. It was presented so well. The beginning scene where the Pikmin fell on the Nintendo sign were randomly generated too.

It was so much fun, the levels were designed so well, the game was rather amusing too and the entire thing played like a master class of Nintendo gaming.

The dual character system was useful, spending a day building an army was fun and the graphics were astonishing.

I can see how Sunshine can dissapoint some, I can see how Wind Waker wasn't what most Zelda fans wanted... but Pikmin 2 is Nintendo's biggest in house masterpiece in years.

The only reason to play it is the bosses.
The bosses were wonderful, everything else was crap.

Pikmin 1 was better - it didn't have any damn caves.

It was easy, and every level was virtually the same - boring.

I got to the castle to fight Ganondorf but then it crashed. That was 20 hours.

55!?

Munn you really do have no taste.

I mean with challenge and multiplayer added.
