Pikmin (GC) Reviews

Pikmin, a game I owned a few years back now on the Nintendo GameCube, is the invention of Shigeru Miyamoto, the same guy who came up with the Mario, Legend of Zelda, and Donkey Kong games. This is a great strategy game that combines those into Lemmings which was also very popular back in the day. So many games nowadays are so ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  Read the complete review
