Review of Pikmin (GameCube) by kappaslappa

Advantages: Hours of Great fun
Disadvantages: Very addictive

...would be Pikmin. Why? Well Pikmin is one of those addictive games that you just have play because they are cute, you get involved and the bad guys are really irritating you so much that you just have to kill them. The brains behind Pikmin is the same person who brought you Super Mario World and Zelda, he is Shigeryu Miyamoto and when you begin to play Pikmin you can see similarities with all the games. The concept of the game is really simple, ... Read review

Wooo-oooo-ooo-ooooo!
Review of Pikmin (GameCube) by donnabroom

Advantages: Super Cute, Great Fun, Nice Sound Effects, I could go on and on...
Disadvantages: I could go on and on!

...you already owned), as playing Pikmin REALLY made me want a Gamecube! In Pikmin you play the part of Olimar, an astronaut who has crashed on a strange planet with an atmosphere of poisonous oxygen. His space suit can only sustain him for a short while so he needs to find the missing ship parts and repair his ship ASAP. Very shortly after you begin you will spot a strange looking red thing that looks a bit like a giant red onion with legs which ... Read review

Grow, Pick, Work
Review of Pikmin (GameCube) by Rickoss

Advantages: Outstanding Gameplay
Disadvantages: Short Lifespan and Terrible Camera Angles

Pikmin never really made much anticipation for itself; maybe this was because people were so excited about Smash Bros. Melee that they just seemed to ignore it, or maybe it was because Nintendo's last 'Short 'n' Sweet' title had so much anticipation from 'Hidden Mansion', and didn't really deliver, that people tried not to think about it. But whatever anyone says, it was never looked at to be Nintendo's game of the year. There was a lot of speculation ... Read review

In Three Flavours
Review of Pikmin (GameCube) by 3rdRockSatan

Advantages: Addictive | Fun | They're so cute!
Disadvantages: Short | They're so cute!

Pikmin are cute. Too cute. There I’ve said it. When playing this game you will become attached to each and everyone of your Pikmin, unless you have a heart of stone that is. You will feel sorry for each one of the little guys that gets eaten, drowns or gets left behind. We have the now legendary Shigeru Miyamoto to thank for this. He is the man behind such gaming icons like Donkey Kong, Link and, of course, our favourite fat plumber Mario. Pikmin ... Read review

Pick Pikmin
Review of Pikmin (GameCube) by Fury

Advantages: Stunning graphics and engrossing gameplay
Disadvantages: Doesn't last quite long enough

...different types of Pikmin, red Pikmin which have great strength and are not hurt by fire. Blue Pikmin which can travel through water and yellow Pikmin which can carry bombs. These Pikmin are pulled from the ground like plants and are planted into the ground either as seeds from flowers around the worlds or from the bodies of dead enemies. The enemies are another major point in the game; they are scattered all around and must be defeated to get ... Read review

Pikmin
Review of Pikmin (GameCube) by joedark

Advantages: Excellent, addictive, fun game
Disadvantages: Far too short

...you have 30 days of. Pikmin are small creatures that come in different types, Bud, Leaf and Flower. They are also sorted into three different colours, red, blue and yellow. Red Pikmin, these are the first Pikmin that you’ll meet in the game, they are great at fighting and are invulnerable to fire, useful against the fire-breathing bad guys. Blue Pikmin, these are the weakest in battle but unlike the others they don’t drown and die in water. Yellow ... Read review

All computer games should be this cute
Review of Pikmin (GameCube) by Traxia

Advantages: Addictive and has a huge aww factor
Disadvantages: short and of the complete once variety

...being able to grow red pikmin (aka the fighters and flame retardant kind) but soon you get the yellow (the fling further and carry exploding kind) and the blue (the water tolerant and that's about it kind). Don't get the first two kinds in the water or they'll drown and don't get the last two kinds in the fire or they'll burn but most importantly don't leave anyone behind or they get eaten by the bugs and that's the cruelest fate of them all. The ... Read review

PICKMIN MANIA
Review of Pikmin (GameCube) by fabdreams

Advantages: Can play this game again and again and again and again......
Disadvantages: None

This is the only game that I have ever come across that I've played over and over again. There is so much to do and all in only 30 days! You are Captain Olimar and have collided with a meteor and crash-landed on a planet inhabited with Pickmin. These are helpful creatures who, with guidance from you will help to collect your space ships parts. You have 30 pieces and 30 days to collect them in before your air supply runs out. A fantastic game ... Read review

Short but sweet
Review of Pikmin (GameCube) by Phil_Drysdale

Advantages: Great fun and good graphics
Disadvantages: Little replay value and very short

...garden (apparently) Even with 100 pikmin on screen at once, and the huge enemies that frequent the world, there is no visible slowdown or popup. Like most 3D games, the camera can sometimes be in the wrong position, but this is easily resolved with a push of either L,R or Z to rotate, zoom or toggle between overhead and 3rd person views respectively. Sound Audibly the game doesn't fail to impress either, with wonderful sound effects like the ... Read review
