Pikmin

Players control a spaceman named Captain Olimar who has crash-landed on an unusual planet. The goal of the game is to help Olimar collect his vessel's lost parts, which have been scattered all over the planet. Luckily for Captain Olimar, the planet is inhabited by strange little creatures, called Pikmin. Pikmin are plant-like life forms that come in three different colours red, yellow and blue. Each type of Pikmin has unique strengths, which Olimar must use to his advantage. Red Pikmin can withstand fire, blue Pikmin can survive in water, while yellow Pikmin can destroy obstacles by using bomb-rocks. Players can control the Pikmin sprouts individually, in groups, or in one large Pikmin posse of 100 creatures. Pikmin on Wii will allow users to utilise all new controls when playing this GameCube favourite, and offering a more complete experience on the Wii. The New Play Controls have made this version of Pikmin more accessible and tighter, with the most notable difference being that Captain Olimar is now controlled with the Nunchuk's Analogue Stick while the cursor is moved with the Wii Remote's pointer.

  Boring and annoying
  
  I'm going to be the odd one out and say I didn't like this game. (Pretty much everyone here and on the net has given it 8-9 out of 10)

  Twee overload!
  
  A very quirky game indeed! And very cutesy and twee, but still relaxing and challenging.

Game: Pikmin Format: Wii Publisher: Nintendo When you first get to grips with Pikmin on the Wii, it almost feels like some kind of mean joke played on game store workers by Nintendo. Just where this game would sit amongst its fellow releases is quite impossible to predict, and it certainly wouldn’t warrant inclusion in the shooter or sport sections of a high street shop. To describe this quirky title as a gardening space exploration real-time-strategy puzzle game crossed with an... Read more
