This game looked really silly to me and I wasn't sure why we even decided to rent it, but we ended up becoming addicted and buying it.

Don't be fooled by this game, it's actually a really good game and my husband and I both are addicted to it.. in fact he's playing it right now.

I mean, come on. You can do better than that.

Nintendo did a horrible job on this game. I don't mean that the graphics are bad or anything. I mean the fact that this game is timed! I mean, I am the kind of kid that likes to look around and explore, and you can't do that when every second = an hour and there are only 24 hours! What the heck! I also hate this game because the Pikmin are so incredibly dumb! There is no dynamics to how each part is carried back to the ship. Even if there is a Giant Crabdog blocking their path, they insist on taking the route closest to that, which is hugging right up against the crabdog and resuming course when they have gotten past the Crabdog. AKA waking up the Crabdog, which is deadly to your Pikmin because Giant Crabdogs are both deadly and impossible to kill.

Great Game!

When you start the game it's tough, but, it gets really fun. It's also very challenging. I got it [six months ago] and I'm only on the second-last level with 12 parts! This game has amazing graphics. It's a very good game!

Pikmin is an "Off the wall," inovative adventure game that you wont be able to stop playing. You have wrecked your spaceship in a strange land and meet a species of "happy doodle" creatures that you will call "Pikmin" They will assist you in finding your spaceship parts so you can fly home, and many will sacrifice there lives for your well-being. They are determined little followers and they WILL do what you say. There is 3 different colors of these little obedient creatures all having different abilities, which will work its way into the puzzles of the game. You will only get to enjoy your little strange looking servants for 30 days however, so dont get too carried away enjoying the scenery or the power drive you get from commanding hundreds of nearly mindless, hand picked creatures . Just make them do all of the dirty work for you, your their commander and provider, for without you they are dumb. Take advantage of them for your wife and son are kind of missing you. Now go pik..min and get home to your family!

A waste of my money!

I think this game is cool but the fact that the camera is really annoying. Also I hate being timed. I am agamer that likes to take my time and time runs out really quickly so I find myself struggling on the second level! I want to find a place to trade this in for Sonic.

Ok, I bought this game, and I was impressed. The graphics are incredible, the story is original (if juvenile), and it was all around amusing...for a good ten minutes. Pikmin then begins to devolve into something little more than brainless drivel. The concept seems fairly difficult before you play the game, forcing you to control not only the half-inch Capitain Olivar, but an army of quarter-inch centurions. After playing the game, you realize how infantile the gameplay actually is. Great gift for small children, great to rent if you're bored, but don't make the same mistake I did...don't waste fifty dollars on this game.

Not quite cutting it

This game is very disappointing. Here's the storyline: A midget hero trying to fight giant birds and animals and gather ship parts with "people" even smaller. C'mon!!! The creators could have done a lot better than that, although I can't argue its originality. It starts out pretty fun, but gets old, fast. Unfortuneatly, the game seemed more of a task, than as entertainment, and thus was not very fun. Furthermore, I never was motivated to beat the game, and resent wasting my money. I advise you to keep your money, but if you ever find it on a $5 rack at some garage sale, who knows, you might enjoy it.

boring

This game looked interesting at first.....before I saw behind the cover. The only slightly interesting part is the beginning, When you round up your squad. Then it gets boring. Controling the Pikmin is a never-ending job and seems to go on and on. I could of beat the game in a day if there wasn't so much talking and stops. Over all the fighting gets repetitive and wears you out.

GAME REALLY DOWNSIZED

REALLY CHEESY. GIVES ME A HEADACHE JUST THINKING ABOUT THE PIKMIN RUNNING ABOUT. THIS GAME ISNT VERY GOOD IN FACT I WOULD HAVE NEVER CONSIDERED BUYING THIS GAME. THE GRAPHICS ARE GOOD BUT THE FIGHTING IS THE WORST IVE SEEN IN MY YEARS AS A GAMER(11). iT IS REALLY ADDICTIVE DESPITE MY RATINGS. THIS IS WHAT PIKMIN DESERVES:

GRAPHICS 5/5
MUSIC 0/5
FIGHTING -1/5
