Description
SynopsisStranded in a vast and strange world, Captain Olimar faces a daunting challenge. When he crash-landed on this alien planet, the pieces of his ship scattered far and wide, and it would be a near-impossible task to recover all of them by himself. Luckily, he has been able to befriend curious creatures he calls Pikmin. Only with their help — and your quick thinking — will he be able to collect all the pieces of his ship and finally make his way home.Action and strategy combine in fun and innovative ways in New Play Control! Pikmin. Point your Wii Remote at the screen to pluck the Pikmin and guide them in the tasks you assign them. Command up to 100 Pikmin at once to take on big jobs, including swarming predators, demolishing barriers and more, and coordinate the creatures' actions to help you find all the pieces of the ship before it's too late.

I was playing a demo of it and i liked it so i bought it.I stayed up till 1am playing .It is really fun and full of adventure.It has a cool storie line but its short.its full of exitement and suspence as you are timed 30 days to get a certin amout of ship parts.another thing thats cool is you can battle other creatures.thats what most people are looking for in a games these days.

New controls make a great game even better

While it was heralded as one of the all time greats, I skipped Pikmin the first time around due to skepticism regarding the controls. The new pointer controls were just the thing to get me to try it, and it was great.
The Real Time Strategy-esque gameplay is great and while the timer cuts the game short, it gives the game a sense of urgency and tension. It is possible that novice players may get to the end of the game without enough time to finish it. This is remedied somewhat by allowing you to go back and resuming play from any of the 30 days in the game.

Pikmin is a fun game for all ages. This game uses the Wii controls well and is challenging. Not as complex as Pikmin II, but still good.

pkimin comes back after 7 years in new and inovative way. in the new version you can go back to pervious days a redo them but all data from that point on is erased. and the cruser no longer controls olimer so he can move seperate for the cruser. the length of th game is still very short only 30 days at 20 minetues a day leaves you with only 500 min. of useable playtime. but alltogether a sweet game.
