Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: As Pikmin's stranded, miniature spaceperson Olimar, you must find the missing 30 parts your spaceship needs to get you back home; these parts are scattered across a forested area that is crowded with giant (when compared to our hero's size) animals and other hazards. Olimar stumbles across the part animal, part plant, all bizarre creatures he names Pikmin, and will have to learn how to lead the Pikmin around the forest as he uses the abilities of the different coloured creatures to overcome the many obstacles in his path. Learning when and how to make the best use of your Pikmin's skills and traits is the essence of the game. You can control up to 100 Pikmin at a time while figuring out which are best suited for a particular task. Some are better fighters, while others can survive in water or handle explosive bomb rocks. However, even the best Pikmin herder will have to sacrifice a few of the plant-headed beasts for the greater good. It's this constant need to refine and create strategies to minimise losses that makes Pikmin challenging and always fun. For a first generation GameCube title, the graphics, sounds, and music are fantastic and show an awesome amount of detail. Though it's no Pokémon, this game should an appeal to wide-eyed younger gamers as well as seasoned veterans. The controls are intuitive and feel perfect for the standard GameCube controller; however, learning to position the camera can be a tad frustrating during some of the more tense moments, as it has only a few magnification levels and needs constant adjustment. The biggest obstacle you face is time; you have only 30 days (each day is about 15 minutes in real time) in which to find the necessary parts. While this keeps the pace of the game up, some may find such limits to be somewhat frustrating, as it means there will be a lot of repetition and rethinking of strategy. It also means that diligent gamers may find Pikmin to be rather a short game. At the end of your gaming day, though, Pikmin is one of the best games the GameCube will have for quite some time. --Mark Brooks Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - One of the only games i will rate 5 stars for!This game IS what the gamecube is remembered for! and now it has the chance of a second lease of life from people playing in on the Wii. I have never come across a game like this before. The graphics are fantastic and i love the little touches with the Pikmin noises! although the noise they make as they drown or get burnt by fire is a little heartbreaking!. At times it can be frustrating as you realise you have navigated your way across a tough terrian to find one of the ships parts but havent got enough Pikmin to carry it back! *whoomph* thats the sound of throwing the controller on the floor!. You HAVE to try this game out. Its cute, clever and crazy! you will fall in love with the little Pikmins as they follow you round wide eyed and theres ...

It is so addictive i got Pikmin 2 straight after i finished it. it has a lovely story and stuff to collect so that you can take off in your damaged space ship again. It really gets your brain working too as all the pikmin work together and you have to keep them safe. The best gamecube game that i have ever played! Rating:  - Pikmin is fantastic.Pikmin should be the saviour of Nintendo. While games like this are being produced, I see no reason not to support them. Pikmin is fun, engaging, and easy to play, without being overly simple. The graphics, creatures, and puzzles are practically flawless, and my only qualm with the game is it's perhaps lack of longevity. There is limited replay value (although there is some) and the career does not take a particularly long time to figure out. Challenge mode is a welcome addition, although by no means the best thing about this game. However, for the amount of enjoyment you will receive from playing, Pikmin is a worthy investment, as is its sequel. I'd probably give it 90%, for the innate fun of playing this game, but no more because ... Read More: Rating: - Amazing classic by nintendo!Pikmin. Pikmin is a great game which i got a long time ago and i still havnt got bored of it.I love this game because of the fantastic storyline and because of the great about of play value.I realy love this game and i think its well worth the money! *************************buy it!************************* Rating: - You'll Need More Than A Brain To Complete This Strategy Game!!I first rented this game for a week back in February 2003, only for the fact that I wanted to get game data so that I could get the Captain Olimar Trophy in Super Smash Bros Melee! But when that week passed I found out that the game was actually a little entertaining than I expected, so I decided to buy it! It was actually an interesting game because unlike certain games, you had to plan out and think of what to do step by step! It even attracted my brother's attention to getting this game for his birthday! The story is simple, but easier said than done! You are Captain Olimar and you've crashed landed on an Unknown Planet, which has a toxic gas you are allergic to codenamed... Oxygen, and your life support will only last 30 ... Read More: |
