Captain
Olimar has returned to the planet where Pikmin live, along with an
assistant. He needs to save his near-bankrupt business, and he
needs to marshal new Pikmin in order to erase his company's debt. Pikmin
2 features new colors of Pikmin (now Pikmin are red, blue,
yellow, white, and purple), 2-player cooperative play, and no time
limit.
We are testing the game and will
have a full review (on this page) soon.
Testers' first impressions:
The puzzles are addictively challenging, although similar to the
first Pikmin. We are pleased with the fact that the 30-day time
limit has been removed in Pikmin 2, which eliminates the
"rushed" feeling kids had with the first game. The
addition of white and purple Pikmin adds new layers of strategy to
the game because each color group possesses different
abilities. The enemies in Pikmin 2 are giant and
intimidating, at times overwhelming.
