Rocks :D

Seriously, it does. But what happened to the 2-Player co-op? I can only find a battle mode. Or isn't there a co-op mode?

I thought there was.

Anyhoo, this game is fantastic. Still keeps the charm of the original, but with the addition of cool new Pikmin races and loss of time limit. The controls seem a little easier too.

Shame on those of you waiting for the UK release - IMPORT IT!!

OK then, tell me what it really is?
I mean if that's not what you're doing in the game, then no wonder I had no idea why it was supposed to be good, I was obviously doing the wrong thing.

There are bomb rocks, but you can't pick them up anymore.

But you're obviously forgetting that you're a t*at, and you're wrong.

Then by your hard definition, there are probably only about 8 original ideas for games, and everything made after 1990 has just been a copy.

Dringo, you obviously jsut have a short memory span and that's why you can't remember taht Pikmin was an average game.
I mean, you thik that I'm the only person that doesn't like it, desopite that 2 pages back Mav was arguing with you that it was crap also - that's why i joined in.

Miyamoto just took a bunch of ideas from other games and put them together.
Stuff about Pikmin doing things to help other Pikmin is just bits from Lemmings, the only difference is you can control groups of them.
Flower upgrades? That's just becoming a Veteran/Elite in Command And Conquer.

They're stolen ideas brought together to make a game which some may find fun, but it definately isn't original.

As great as both Pikmins are, was there any specific reason why the Yellow Pikmin's bombs are not included in 2?
