This game is very addicting. Once you start you have to beat your records. There is a start mode (other words adventure mode) or a challenge mode. In the adventure mode you look for parts of your ship. In the challenge mode you see how many pikmin you can get in one day (pikmin days not real days). You get more guys by killing these bug looking guys and taking them back to the pikmins onions. Or by doing other things. This game is the best because it is so addicting. This is a must for people who like adventures and have a gamecube. Try it you will simplie love it period.

Great!

This game is great! It's very different and there's no other game like it. It's pretty hard at first and then you start to get the hang of it and then it's pretty fun.

SOooooooooooooooo Cute!

They did a great job on this creation! When you see how cute it is, you think it will be easy, but oh no and oh yes. It is incredibly fun to play (even if you never master it), but difficult to master. I bought the GameCube just for this game and it is worth it.

This is the third game I bought for my nieces since Christmas, and they totally love the little Pikmin. Buy it now because your kids will have fun with the little Pikmin.

Shigeru Miyamoto continues to solidify his status as the Beethoven of video games. Pikmin is pure genius. I only have two complaints with my pikmin experience. 1. It was over too soon and 2. Now I have to go back to playing lesser games until Mario Sunshine comes out.

What sets Pikmin apart from so many other games is little touches like Pikmins digging up nectar under the grass and getting so drunk off it they want even look at you. There is also a huge array of other little critters that will manage to frustrate and challenge even good gamers.

I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a break from the typical shootemups that are so popular right now.

GOOD GAME

Good Game, but rather short

Pikmin is an excellent strategy game, however it is rather short. To get all of the pieces I only had to play a second time, in which I beat it in 21 days (not even requiring all 30 days) After you've done that, there's not much replay value left in the game.

I recommend renting the game or borrowing it. It is a fun game to play, but it will probably end up sitting on your shelf collecting dust in a couple weeks.

Definately a welcome addition to the gamecube

Let me start off by saying that Pikmin is not only for little kids. It is directed towards kids, but can be fun for anyone who likes strategy games. The object of the game is to find all 30 parts of your battered spaceship within a 30 day (each day is roughly 15 minutres long) time limit. You must use each pikmin's abilities to their fullest to do this such as using yellow pikmin to reach really high places and red pikmin to carry parts over flames. While it seems simple enough, it can be quite challenging to get all 30 parts. The enemies of the levels can completely devastate your pikmin population if you send them into dangerous situations without orders. This game uses a new approach to strategy, and it is by far one of the best games on the gamecube.

NOTE: this game needs 19 blocks of memory to save

I must start by first saying that I've been hooked on Video and computer games since long before Pong and I've owned almost every game system ever produced. This is the first game that kept me amused and interested for months. I started playing it in January and have played it for at least an hour a day ever since (sometimes for even up to 8 hours!). I even bought a mobile screen so I could play it while we drove across the country! It's a mind challenge to get through the 30 days better and better everytime (not cheating and just nuking the day and restarting). There are so many variables that you can take into account. Striving to achieve all the tasks in the minimum number of days while losing the least number of Pikmin is fun. Or playing any of the world challenge modes for variety and how many Pikmin you can generate in a limited game.

If you like a game that requires a little brain power instead of manual dexterity in performing repetitive moves over and over again, then this is the game for you.

BRING on PIKMIN TWO!
