    AWESOMENESS! Is like it was meant for the wii

    Ok so heres the rundown, this game is way better than the original. It is a hard game, you have thirty days to find all 30 ship parts,  but, the good thing is, you only have to collect 25 of the parts to complete the game *phew*. I am not far in, im on day 14 the day im writing this, i have so far collected 5 parts, and discovered the forest navel, which is a hard area, and discovered the red, yellow, and blue pikmin. The controls are excellent, the wiimote and nunchuk  work just fine, it was as if this game was made for them, you can control the camera by the d-pad: up: goe's helicopter style over olimar, left: zooms away from olimar,  right: zooms in on olimar. Ok now the moving controls: nunchuk: move olimar, sensor on wiimote: pointer for throwing pikmin, A button: throw pikmin, B button and pointer: call pikmin, hold A+B: switch out pikmin, C button: separate pikmin (the will file into four groups: red pikmin, yellow pikmin, yellow pikmin with bombs, and blue pikmin), and finnaly the Z button: move camera behind olimar. Ok now about the graphics, SECOND TO GALAXYS! im not joking, this is on wii's list of best graphics game's, and are very cute and cool ones too. Now onto the gameplay, works great (want more info? READ ABOUT THE CONTROLS YOU n00b!). Ok we have one thing left to discuss, now while your looking on the back of the box, you see the ratings say "mild violence"....... WAIT A SECOND! THIS IS PIKMIN FOR CRAP SAKE! but mothers, don't beware, this is not like the violence in halo, the violence is this, the pikmin can drown, get eaten, and get left behind and get eaten, but not trying to sound mean here but, the have the funnist death ever, there souls float in the air! OH COME ON! but anyways this is my final scor- wait, i forgot the storyline! simple, olimar was going on vacation to a planet when i astroid hit his ship, and then ends up on planet "you know who". anyways, these are my scores:
    Gameplay 5/5
    Graphics 5/5
    Controls 5/5
    Story 3.5/5
    Content 4.5/5
    Difficulty 5/5\
    Length 3/5
    Price 5/5 ($30.00 bucks? WHATTA DEAL!)
    Well i recomment this game to exploration and adventure fans, and expecially zelda fans for some of the puzzles and frustation. Well i highly recommend this game as your first 09' wii game and first new play control game, sainara peeps!

      NPC: Pikmin Review 0

      Shigeru Miyamoto. One of the most prolific and unique video game designers of all time. It's easy to think not so positively of him though, but don't be fooled. Before moving onto a questionably simple series of games known as the Wii series, he worked on some very great and influential games. The New Play Control range can now give new gamers, and gamers who just missed out on the first release, a chance to play a critically acclaimed game series called Pikmin. In Pikmin, you control Captain O...

      Still the fun, innovative game it was back in the GC days 0

      Pikmin was among the earlier GameCube titles, among others such as Super Smash Bros. Melee and Metroid Prime. Pikmin was very fresh and innovative, though, because the concept was different than your usual game, causing it to stand out a bit. Commanding an army of little creatures called Pikmin to help a very small man when he crash lands on a strange planet just hadn't really been done in games before. Pikmin sure got it right the first time, though, in a great, creative game that earned a pret...
