Stranded in a vast and strange world, Captain Olimar faces a daunting challenge. When he crash-landed on this alien planet, the pieces of his ship scattered far and wide, and it would be a near-impossible task to recover all of them by himself. Luckily, he has been able to befriend curious creatures he calls Pikmin. Only with their help — and your quick thinking — will he be able to collect all the pieces of his ship and finally make his way home.

New Play Control! Pikmin Reviews
| 52 of 54 people found the following review helpful  Aside from new controls, nothing new to see here., By = Fun: This review is from: New Play Control! Pikmin (Video Game) If you haven't already played Pikmin on the GameCube, this game is an excellent opportunity to catch up with a great game. If you've already played this game there is literally nothing new here besides the controls. No new extra modes, no multi-player, no extra levels, no noteworthy graphical upgrades. Just new controls.For those of you who haven't played the game yet, it is a very solid game. To sum it up simply, you take control of Olimar, a diminutive space explorer that crash lands on an earth like planet filled with hostile bugs and critters. You control a small army of Pikmin that do your bidding by fighting and carrying stuff for you. Red, Yellow, and Blue Pikmin have different abilities which you must take advantage of as you traverse the terrain of each of the levels. In typical Nintendo fashion, there is a great deal of exploration where you can see an area of the game but can't get to it until you unlock new abilities which require you come back to...

Pikmin (Video Game) This is an excellent game for those who missed the game on the GameCube (Like me). People who already have it for GameCube will not find anything new here. The motion controls work really well with this game. The only thing kind of frustrating is the camera mover, but what game doesn't have that problem? Here is a rating on each area of the game on a 1-5 star rating systemGraphics: **** The graphics for this game were considered top-of-the-line 8 years ago, but are still pretty good today. Gameplay: ***** This is one of those games that are great in gameplay, superb in graphics, and suitable for kids. Controls: *** Controls were really good for Gamecube, but are kinda odd feeling for Wii, but are still easy to use. Storyline: ** This game has a good storyline, it really does, but the reason I gave it a lower rating is because it doesn't go really in-depth. Cover: ***** Yes, you read this correctly,... Read more 22 of 24 people found the following review helpful  Pikmin Is Great!, By = Fun: This review is from: New Play Control! Pikmin (Video Game) Pikmin is a remake of a game that came out way back in 2001, so if your kids played that one, there's not a lot different for them this time around.The concept is simple: A little guy has crash landed on a planet and the parts of his ship are scattered everywhere. He's about 2 inches high, so it's not like he can just walk over and pick up the pieces. The environment is like something out of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids where a small rock is a mountain of an obstacle and simple bugs are monsters. Luckily, you quickly find help in your quest, and it's what this game is all about. There's these little seed creatures that apparently think of you as their mother and will blindly follow you wherever you go. You direct them to create more creatures, tear down obstacles, and battle bugs on your hunt for parts of your ship. There are 3 different types that you can direct, each with their own capabilities and you have to figure out how to leverage them to gain access to... Read more |
