So there I was, leading my faithful Pikmin to victory after a glorious crusade through The Cave of Beasts, when we finally came to the exit in a room that contained a giant sleeping catapillar type creature. Feeling empowered from the amount of ar*e kicking undertaken in my name, I decided to launch an attack on the filthy beast's face.
At first it went well, as the giant remained asleep after several poundings, but then it woke up and...and..they were..all gone...
It was over in just 7 seconds, it stretched out and rolled across the cavern twice, flattening 69 of my 70 strong army. I was sure we could have taken it, 45 red Pikmin and 25 of the mega buff purple Pikmin. Desperate to save my remaining purple Pikmin, affectionatly named "Lil' Ed", I whistled him over and tried to coordinate the attack as best I could. Amazingly, Lil' Ed (no doubt enraged from the death of his comrades) beat away a semi-circle of the maggot's health, but then he got squished on the wall.
At that point I ran off to the bathroom to cry, returning only to give you this warning: when you are playing Pikmin 2; beware the giant catapilliar maggot type thing.

CLUSTER MISSILES!!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Holy ******* ****
Stupid maggot is nothing compared to this beast, it's a bloody machine! 100 Pikmin reduced to 13 in about 15 seconds. It fires cluster missiles!! It has a machine gun!!
WTF!!!!?!?!?!?!

Pikmin 2 is already out?
Huh.
Huh.
Hehe!
I'm living off a student loan and am refusing to work until the summer.
And even then I might decide that money can't buy free time in the sun.
*Remembering the days when mum used to plead me to stop playing Perfect Dark and get just 10 minutes of fresh air*
Not quite the dedicated gamer of old, am I? :-D

So that'll be about another year?
Try the january sales instead.

Sounds fantastic.
One for second hand shopping in the summer. :-)

Sounds good fun.
Hmmm, may get it then.
I've been sorely missing a good strategy game.
And a good turn-based RPG.
I'd love to play through Skies again, but it keep crashing, which sucks.
Boo.

The single player isn't that much longer than the original, but there's more stuff and it's more intersting, plus the cave sections are randomly generated.
They also put a lot more effort in challenge mode and the 2p mode.
