with infinite playability, over 200+ items to collect, and a good storyline, this is probably one of the best gc games.

User Rating: 10 | Pikmin 2 GC
this game is incredible! i am a huge fan of the pikmin series, and i know pikmin 3 is coming out, but if you need something to understand the basics of pikmin, get the first game. if you want to expand, get this game.it's infinitely playable, 300 items to collect, and all the bad guys to topple, this is worth your while.

pros: infinitely playable
addictive gameplay
immersible storyline
feels like you have an army at your command. it's basically a strategy game for younger kids.
fun multi-player

cons: difficulty may be more than you bargained for
easy to lose pikmin
waiting too long can cause difficulty to get harder.

the only problem is the difficulty. if you or your kids aren't adjusted to hard or challenging games, don't get it yet. but if they have the experience, its for them.
i also reccomend this for hardcore gamers. the difficulty is for you, even if it looks casual.
