| Gah. I bought the game yesterday, and play it... Well, not nonstop, but I play it a fair bit, and it's fun. I'm rather surprised there's no thread on it now... Just completed the White Flower Garden. | |||

| From what I've seen when my bro played it. That it was different from the first one even though I've never seen or played the first Pikmin. There's two captains now and two different Pikmin added in along with the orginals. Also, different missions to do and that's about all to my knowledge. | |||

| No time limit is one of the major things. Time still passes and you gotta get in at night and everything, but you don't have a 30 day cap or whatever. That's what I heard. I haven't played it though. I really want this game, but I don't really want to drop fifty bucks on it. =( |

Here is my thoughts since none of you really know too much about it.... Ho kay, Well it is different. The no 30 day limit is kinda hard to even see... I mean I beat most of the game in only 15 days. The two new pikmin:white and purple, are odd. The white ones are poisonous and can withstand poison along to being super fast(Use these for carrying it goes faster).The purple one are slow as fuck but strong as hell(Use these for carrying too, only takes 10 to carry almost all parts). The only downside to these crazy pikmin is that5 they have no onions. Now you might be thinking "NO ONIONS?!?!11 HOW THE FUCK DO YOU GET THEM THEN?!?!?111", well you have to use the candypop buds that are now only underground for each color. The first 3 still get onions. But these game gets fusterating VERY fast. Most of the game takes place in the caves which means when a pikmin dies in the cave you have to wait about 15 minutes to be able to get more of them. But the white and purple are so rare that when they die you are screwed. I lost like 70 pikmin when I got raped by an eletric beatle. There are also no more bombrocks.  Well none that you can caryy anyways....There is also sooo much honey it's hard to not have flowers.I don't like it as much as the first....OH WAIT. The two captians... no point doesn';t help anything but the crappy story... |

| Actually I've heard there was a 2-player mode in Pikmin 2, where the 2nd player controls the other captain. Is it, like, vs. mode or something? Or am I just wrong altogether? | |||

| After having the game for a good deal of time and not being able to play it, I've finally got a good look at it. One of my favorite aspects of the game is that the pikmin are smarter. Seriously, I walked across three bridges with a squad of 100 without doing anything fancy and only one drowned. They bunch up behind you before they hit the bridge, so you don't have to use the C stick to line them up nicely and avoid killing four or five. Some of the new enemies are pretty cool, like the electric beetles, red cannon beetle larva, and that freaky crested snagret or whatever it was called. There's a new feature that gives you information about enemies and lets you throw carrots at them, which I think is pretty neato. I've also noticed a few little differences from their old versions, too. Burrowing snagrets can't be horribly abused the same way as before (you could fan your pikmin out and swamp them as they came up, stopping them from attacking and doing tripple damage - they don't stop there and act like they're waiting for you to do that now), for example. The extra captain is occasionally usefull, though usually you just drag him along and enjoy the increased picking speed. Gathering treasures instead of parts isn't as fun. There's less of a sense of accomplishment with the treasures, really. The new pikmin types are more balenced than you'd think, thanks to the lack of numbers and onions. White pikmin move faster (not that big of a deal due to small numbers and lack of need for celerity), survive poison (it's just like red pikmin and their flame resistance), find burried treasure (no big deal, just another little ability, but not one that can be made part of a puzzle like some others), and poison things that eat them for some pretty good damage (yeah, that's cool, but you don't have enough of them to enjoy that). Purple pikmin move slower (that's a bit of a pain) and lift 10 times as much as the others (not as usefull as you'd think, unless you're really going for speed). Overall, it's a nice game. I can't really call it one of those games that everyone just has to play, as nothing is as unique as the first one anymore, but it's still worth playing. |
