Pikmin 3 is fun, and gorgeous game that is very different from most other Wii U titles you will find.
Story
The story in Pikmin 3 is interesting, and has a good backdrop to it but its unfortunate that the hunt for Cpt. Olimar doesn't dive deeper into the mysterious planet that they land on.
Gameplay
The strategy involved in Pikmin 3 is what drew me to it and, that mixed with the puzzle like approach to areas, which you will be able to unlock over time once you discover more Pikmin species, is a very fun and rewarding process, and its nice to be able to go back to locations you visited and discover new items, and areas. Managing your Pikmin, and resources is the key to the game and it works well cycling through them to fight enemies, I only wish the game pad controls were a little less wonky, which they could be at times.
Graphics/Presentation
This is probably one of the prettiest games i have played on the Wii U, specifically in terms of the lighting effects, and level of detail put into the world. The game as expected from Nintendo runs very smooth, and I experienced no slowdowns or hiccups throughout my play-through.
Overall Pikmin 3 is a must buy for Wii U owners, and is a very unique game to the platform. The strategic element to the game works well, and it is such a delight to play and explore its world.
