Pikmin (GC) Reviews

Pikmin is a very simple game but as with all games its simplicity is its strength not its weakness. Pikmin was one of the first hits for the then new game console GameCube which I had for about 5 years. GameCubes as a concept I always found to be generally looked down by the serious players who owned XBoxes but it was what it was, its games tended ...  Read the complete review

First Impressions At the beginning when this game was first released I was not so keen to get it as it was a brand new idea and I was used to seeing and purchasing games under the titles of Mario, Zelda, Metroid and Pokémon. In the big picture about 60% of games produced for the gamecube were utter tripe so it was no wonder I was ...  Read the complete review

Pikmin is great, fun, cute and good fun. It has the sense of achievement that makes game play good. It is also strangely sadistic but more on that later. Captain Olimar crashes to a planet where his ship parts have been scattered. Whilst there the microscopic astronaut stumbles across the strange pikmin breed. He also encounters some ...  Read the complete review

I first played Pikmin, (a super cute Gamecube game), at a close friends house years ago, (it must have been 2002ish). I really loved it at the time and I've wanted a Gamecube ever since but for one reason or another I never got one. So imagine my surprise on Christmas morning when I one of my presents and it's a Gamecube. The same friends who ...  Read the complete review

This is a really quite outstanding game actually, with a... different storyline than most other games, with no "big bad guy" or anything. In fact, the main enemies are welll... ladybugs. But dont take this the wrong ay, cause this is one hell of a game, it starts of with Captain Olimar riding round on his ship, in space. however, he ...  Read the complete review

If there was a game I could sit and play for hours on end, over and over again and never get bored it would be Pikmin. Why?

The brains behind ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

In the game you come across round disks with numbers on the number is how ...  Read the complete review

The fifth Nintendo game to be released, and the last one until September and so, is Pikmin as good as it is supposed to be? You play Captain Olimar (anagram of Mario bar the L) and after stupidly colliding with an asteroid our bowl headed hero crashes on an unknown planet and his ship parts have gone flying and are scattered around various ...  Read the complete review

Notice the reference to Popstars tagline? My humour really is wasted..... Ever since I saw a few pictures of this game last year, I was drooling in anticipation and that was just at the sight of something that may not of been. It's release in Japan was a huge success, quickly being heralded as a classic. The mastermind behind ...  Read the complete review

Well good or bad I will say that this game is guaranteed to be unlike anything you have played or even seen before. The game was created by Nintendo’s in house genius Shigeru Miyamoto who was apparently ...  Read the complete review
