Okay, they took the good bits from Pimin 1, and rebalanced it, added new bits and made it a lot longer.It takes elements of a real time strategy game, but to label it just as an RTS seems... unfair. It is loads more.The game is cutesy violent, and well polished. Little things like the evil wasp things rubbish it's hands with mallace while wandering around a map... the new perspective on our own world from a very small perspective.If I had kids, it would be one of those games I could play with them and keep the controller moving between us. It is real family entertainment - and a socialable game. People whom watch are compelled to warn you of danger, or laugh at some of the rich dynamics in the game.For instance, there's a big red bug that rolls bolders at you. In other games, perhaps the enemies wouldn't get hurt by them. Not in this one! You can try and lead it in to other enemies or even back at itself! Discoveries and rewards like this delight players and spectators alike.You find yourself getting attached to the little guys, and when you loose some it is sad to see there little ghost rise up and disappear. You also feel great pride when your team takes down something hundreds of times bigger then themselves!The game as I said at the begining is rebalanced... instead of yellows throwing bombrocks (I found them quite difficult in the first one) they are elemental like the others... yellows don't get hurt by electricity. Reds are fierce and impervious to fire. Blue can't get hurt by water, and so on. There are at least 2 more pikmin types you discover during the game - and other suprises along the way.Higely satisfying and dare I say addictive - this is one of those innovative games you just don't find outside Nintendo consoles. If you have the first (or don't), I can tell you this one is a huge improvement and would be a decent addition to your collection.

I'm obsessed with the first Pikmin game, to the point where I fall asleep at night wondering about how to get as many parts in one day as possible. The good thing about the original was its urgency - it encourages the player to keep doing better, and to constantly break their own records.Pikmin 2 has no time limits however, allowing more freedom to explore the gorgeous, seasonal landscapes; inhabited by swarms of beasties. The creature design of Pikmin was a definite highlight of that experience, so its good to see that the artists pulled out all the stops. There must be thrice as many enemy types this time around, all of them hellbent on making the pikmin's lives as hard as possible.The graphics are also more polished, and the new cave-exploration mechanics are fantastic, as they allow you to test your survival skills without worrying about the time limits of the surface world; usually ending on an epic bossfight (though some are just scaled-down versions of Pikmin enemies).The main goal here is to collect waste (you know what they say about trash and treasure), including branded items like Duracell batteries, Danone yogurt pots and even old Nintendo gadgets, to make 10,000 pokos of cash. The main campaign is over in about 8-12 hours, but there's a whole other area to explore once the credits have rolled, and even the other places should have stuff left to find in them.Overall, I didn't like Pikmin 2 as much as the first, but as sequels go it's still a fantastic game. The stuff it adds to the existing lore (2 pikmin types, the aforementioned caves, and a 2-player mode) makes it worth doing the whole collectathon thing a second go around, and I'm sure I'll love Pikmin 3 just as much.

One day i went onto amazon i saw pikmin 2. it looked great so i read the reveiws. i read them and this weirdo matthew from reading berkshire said it was no good. Later i got nintendo magazines and they said that it is far better than the first one. ok so 2 new pikmin doesnt sound that much different but there are new dungeons with toxic gas the white pikmin can do this no bother they also fart in enemies mouths to make them choke. the purple ones are nearly as scary as the purple ones for they screech and stomp the ground (handy for moving platforms). these are the 2 new pikmin and this is all i know the new ones can do but the yellow ones can now walk through electricity.so if there are people who think this is no different to the first one think again because a 2 player battle mode and 60 new enemies like totally amazing dont you think?

pikmin was an all time classinc.using small creatures called pikmin to find the parts to fix olimar's ship. along the way you had to fight bosses and all types of creatures.the problem was you could complete it too easily!that is where pikmin 2 c omes in. olimar is back with a friendand this time he wants money!?you use your intellagence to find over 50 different items to sell for money. this involves making the most of your pikmin's special abilities.(red can pass through fire ect.)plus two new pikmin have been added. purple: can lift 10 pikmin worth of stuff.and white:poison and can run faster than a cheetah strapped to firework!pik2 is greatA MUST BUY

This game is brilliant. The new additions of the white and purple pikmin are very welcome and add a bit more stratergy. Do you kill enemies quicker by using the super strong purple pikmin or do you poison your foes with the whites. also the addition of another person is fantastic you can now send two squads of pikmin to do different tasks (who said we men can't multi task) for example you can have one squad of pikmin taking down a wall and the other collecting treasure. This sequel has all the good points of the first, adding extra and getting rid of the time limit (yay) well woth £29.99

A game that truly appeals to all age-groups! At 26 I can quite comfortably sit down and play this game for hours on end. Although it does become a little repetitive in places, there are very few games out there that don't!Let's be honest, there aren't all that many games out for the Gamecube over here in the UK and only a very small handful could you consider 'quality' games. For me, this game can quite comfortably sit on the Mario Sunshine, Metroid Prime, Resident Evil 4 & Paper Mario shelf!

Eons ago, i picked up the original pikmin in a store and had a look at it. it seemed ever such a strange game. anyway, i bought it recently and played it to death. the little things make me grin when i throw them at bad guys. after reading around about pikmin 2, and admiring matthew's amazing sense of nonsense, the pikmins on pikmin 2 are sure going to take over my life! 60 new bad things to throw pikmins at! randomized levels! perhaps i will buy two copies so i can eat the first one.

Two years ago we stumbled upon pikmin1. We are still playing the chalange mode. Pikmin 2 manages to be better. People from 6 to 76 have played this and it is challanging and fun at all levels. The new game has much improved chalange modes and two player action. racing each other to collect and beat the same baddies. I just love the exploding spiders and wooly beasties!I have had the game two weeks and spent 45 hours on it.. Must dash... underground caverns to clear!

I was very impressed with Pikmin, however Pikmin 2 simply takes enjoyable gameplay 1 step further. Using the 5 coloured Pikmin all with different strengths and weaknesses the puzzles test the mind with a logic, often leaving the player thinking ... why didn't I think of that earlier. Simply good clean fun with cracking graphics, cheery audio and puzzling but logical gameplay. A true gem of a sequal!

If you loved Pikmin then you are going to love Pikmin 2 quite simply. I am reviewing this now after obtaining a copy to play on my Wii. Its very hard to get hold of nowadays. I love the fact there are the new colours\types of Pikmin as they are great! it adds another dimension to the game. Oh please let there be a Wii version coming this way!

Who said you can't beat the original because this game is allot better then the first one.There are even more enemies to kill and there is also a new character that you can play as.There are even more pikmin including purple and white ones.This is a must get for Gamecube fans.

Great game, came complete. The only gripe I have is that the plastic on the case had peeled off in one corner and the item was advertised as undamaged. Other than this I have no complaints.

This has timed days but there is no time limit. You can spend as many days as you want growing your Pikmin and searching the destinations.Worth ago.
