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 10X their own size. I also like how the creaters brought about how to make new Pikmin with onions or by throwing them into flowers. You can also let them drink nectar or spray them for more power.
The treasure system is also very well done, giving common househeld items strange names to make them more intersting (And Olimar or Louie also make a little diary entry for every treausre you find), Some treasures are buried underground where only your white Pikmins can find them, and some of them are in the water where only your blue's can get them.
The creatures are also creative and very well down and you need a certain strategy to kill most of them.
I'd just like to say I've never played the priginal Pikin and Overall Pikmin 2 isn't a game for everyone and there are some minor flaws but it isn't enough to stop me from giving this game a good review.
