First off, I would like to say I give this game a 2 1/2 (Not a 2 You can't choose 1/2's on ratings) Second off, before you even you read my review, I just want to make one thing clear: Don't BUY this game. Let me emphesis BUY. I mean do not purchase this game for keeps. I would reccomend renting it, or possibly playing it at some other kids house.
This concept of "Pikmin" is amazing. It's a cross between Warcraft and Kirby 64. You control an army of tiny little red, blue, and yellow creatures, while you lead them across vast and magical places. You're ship has crashed, and with the help of your pikmin to find missing parts, you can come home again.
What's so horrible about this game? It has every element of difficulty.
You are timed, and to make matters worse you must do entire missions over if you don't succeed. Once it has been 12 hours (which is more like 5 mins in pikmin land) you must get all of your pikmin back in the spaceship. If you don't, you lose them.
Your pikmin are S-T-U-P...um...oh yeah...I-D. This one time I had a Grub Dog (A monster in the pikmin world) eat 40 of my pikmin. I told them to get a part, so they did. Then on the way back, they walked right into a grub dog. I could've named at least 4 alternate routes! He woke up and started eating all the pikmin. They didn't fight back right away and I had to tell them too! Second, red and yellow pikmin (who cannot swim, only blue can) will constantly fall into the water. It's almost funny how dumb they are when you watch them just walk in the water.
Your Pikmin don't exactly follow orders. I will by walking along, and all of a sudden they will decide they'll going to attack a flower that hasn't bloomed. (Which works againts you because bloomed flowers provide more pikmin) Or once I saw 3 of them run off to attack a baby grub dog, who were all immediatly killed.
Replay .... WRONG! Once you played it, you played it. I wouldn't spend hours playing the exact same thing i played before, would you?
Lastly, By the third level the enemies are 10x stronger! They will things on fire and the mindless pikmin will just go into it.

Renting it: fine. Go ahead. You'll some fun. Buying: Only if you plan you get rid of it in a week.

When I heard gamecube was going to be oriented towards kids, I didn't think it would be this bad. The game takes elements of strategy games, but totally dumbs them down to make a more child-friendly game. It looks great and is fun for a few hours, but by then you've beaten it. Like the rest of Nintendo's launch games (other than star wars, but thats not a console-selling game), it doesn't offer enough playing time to warrant buying it. Do yourself a favor and just rent it to save yourself the agony...

NO!

... I rented this game because of other reviews but the graphics aren't that great. The graphics are like Super Mario 64. The buttons are so darn confusing. Once I tried to seperate my pikmin in colours and they all ran away. The Game is to short it's a game that most people would beat in one day. The story line is Your rocket gets hit by an asteroid and you land on a weird planet. Your oxygen supplie will only last you 30 pikmin days. You lost thirty parts of your ship that spread out all over the pikmin world. One pikmin day is like 15 minutes so that means you only get 450 minutes of gameplay! One other thing If you use all 30 days and you've only found 29 or less parts you die and have to start a new game. You don't even fight you don't controll the pikmin. You just stand there while they kill the bad guy ( boring ). If you don't believe me still don't buy the game just rent it you'll see.

A Little Too Tough......

For the gamer that loves a challenge, this is for you!!!
I am an adventure type game lover and like most any game with a good plot (purrty graphics don't amuse me much) but Pikmin didn't catch my eye. The only reason I rented it was because everyone I know said it looked awesome. I decided to try it myself. The first part of it was alright. Getting the first part of your broken-down ship. Once you get into the next level, it just went downhill.

We have the time problem wich goes way to fast. Since you have 30 days to reassemble your "Dolphin" (the spacecraft's name) and there are 30 parts of your ship missing. It takes me 2 days to actually find 1 piece for me.

Then there are the enemies. Say there are 5 Pikmin in the front of the bad guy. One swipe or chomp...BAM!!! You have 5 less Pikmin. If they had life, it would be a little more interesting.

This is my opinion. Other people may like it. I personaly find it too dang hard!I like challenge but not this much.

boooooooooooring

When I first bought Pikmin I thought it was going to be a pre-school type game, but when I started to play Pikmin, I WAS JUST BLOWN AWAY. This game was sooooooo cool. It was like controling my own army. This game packs 2 of the best qualities for games; strategies, and just deminating and destroying a world that you don't even care about.

BUY THIS GAME YOU WILL NOT REGRATE IT. IT WAS THE BIGGEST SUPPRISE I HAVE EXPERENCED IN GAMING.
