    Pikmin 2

    On December 2001, Nintendo Miyamato (The Legend behind Mario and Zelda) made a game about kiddy aliens. What we didn't know was that their destination point is our world, and they're extremely tiny! Another fact is that this was set in his own Garden! Pikmin 2 sets off after the first Pikmin. After escaping from the strange planet, we call Earth; Captain Olimar goes back to his home planet. When he lands there, he discovers that his planet is in major debt. One of the bottle caps he used for the ship is worth 100 coins. Knowing this, Olimar must go back and bring 10,000 coins to save his planet. This time you're not alone... You've got Louie, Olimar's assistant.

    Once you go to "Earth" you discover that its winter and you lost your mate, Louie. You've got to find Louie and return to save your planet. You get attacked by an ant. Luckily, you’re local Pikmin save the day. Now you've got to control Louie and get him to where Olimar is. While you're going you bump into an Onion, where the Pikmin live. Gathering Mushrooms, you can make more Pikmin. After that you're joined with Olimar. Together you've got to use strategies to make 10,000 coins!

    You can zoom in while you're playing the game, so it's easier to play. You've got a whistle to control the Pikmin, and you can use the C-Stick to make them form shapes. You can throw them by pressing A, and they attack enemies in sight. If they get in your way you can press Y to regroup them. This game fixes all the loose ends with the first one, making a kick ass, fun game, which is funny too!

       Pikmin 2 plants the seeds for a new game in Shigeru Miyamoto’s original real-time strategy series.  Growing out of the design of the first game, Pikmin 2 now features 2 new types of Pikmin, expanded Pikmin abilities, 2 playable characters, a new 2-player competitive mode, the addition of underground caves, and no 30 day time-limit.  In addition, though this feature has no gameplay function, they’ve added the Piklopedia; a veritable encyclopedia of all the different treasures and alien species O...

      One Of The Most Innovative Game I've Ever Played 0

      Pikmin 2 is a game that makes you think. Whether it's figuring out how to get your cute but dangerous little buddies across a lake without them drowning, or how to get to a treasure seemingly out of reach you are always thinking about what to do next.I'm sure this game isn't for everyone but I for one loved it! The Pikmin themselves look like cute little pets but when you send them after an enemy they turn into bloodthirsty little creatures that are capable of knocking down sold walls and things...
