... 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.
This game is not worth playing.

I heard this game was alot of fun, but to be safe I rented it. Man am I glad I did because Its not what they say it is. The game was mildly entertaining at first but after I played it awhile it got boring. Im 15 and it's not that it's to easy but the gameplay is dumb. The gameplay is what makes a game worth playing so why bore yourself with this game.
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.
too much to do, to little time, awful game

This game is stupid and childish If your like Michael Heim Grow up nintendo is for babys and mommas boys get the PS2 or Xbox Those have better games.
P.S dont you notice how 99.9% of all the games for the GCN are rated E and only one good game is rated M get the picture boys grow up.

I got this game because i thought it looked fun, with the whole concept and stuff. I started playing and i got to the 2nd level. Once I got to the 3rd level it became impossible - it was pointless! Enemies atacking from ever where and the instruction booklet tells you almost nothing :(
So... this game is boring, pointless, overly hard, stupid and a down right rip-off and I've had it for a year and I still cant understand why they put this game on the market!!!!
PIKMIN SUCKS!!

When I first purchased Pikmin, I thought it would be a fun game. I was wrong. The first thing wrong was the time limit. Each day was only fifteen minutes. The second thing wrong was that if you went into water, all of the pikmin drowned. The overall gameplay was boring. It seemed like you spent so much time fighting the big bosses and then trying to rebuild to the number of pikmin you had so you could fight again. Maybe younger gamers will enjoy this game, but older ones, be warned, stay away.
What is this?

Nintendo has been a fantastic company but it is killing itself with these kinda games. I try to find a way where I would be excited about gamecube but every game I look at it's made for a 5 year old. C'mon nintendo, I know you can do better than this. Lets see some RPG's and Shooters! No Pikmin (...)!
