Missed out on Pikmin Gamecube? Then here's your chance.
The soundtrack is one of the best in any video game. It sounds very peaceful and makes you want to just dream your worries away. The sounds that the Pikmin make are just adorable and helpful at the same time. If your far away from Pikmin that are in battle, their cries for help will remind you to save them. If a Pikmin starts to drown, it'll alert you immediately.
The gameplay is much like games like Halo Wars, only better. You can have about 100 Pikmin with you, possibly more. You can give each of them different commands, whether it's picking something up, destroying a wall, or pulverizing an enemy. You may think that throwing your Pikmin doesn't do anything, but it does. It can be an attack against an enemy, or if you throw it near an object that they can pick up,they'll immediately pick the object up an carry it to their ship, which will take the object and make Pikmin from it.
The story is actually surprisingly creative, in which you have 30 days to obtain your ship parts and meet some 3 kinds of Pikmin: Red, Yellow, and Blue. During the day, you explore the planet you have crashed on in search of ship parts, and during the night, you will get into the ship called the Dolphin, and your gathered Pikmin will get into their own ships called Onions and blast with you into the sky in wait of dawn, while the Pikmin you left behind will fight for their lives against the wild, and eventually lose them.
At first glance, this game may seem weird and strange, but that's beauty of it. It IS weird and strange, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. If you have a Wii or Gameccube, then by all means buy this game. I strongly recommend this game to anyone in search of something different in gaming.
