I would only recommend this game if you really like Pikmin or if you never played it before. In this version there is nothing new just that its easier to point and shoot your Pikmin around. Other than that the graphics are the same and so is everything else.

Pikmin, a Gamecube title about a stranded astro-man named Olimar who, with the help of his Pikmin (tiny multi-colored creatures with different strengths and weaknesses), must recover the pieces of his spaceship. Now with Wii controls, in this case pointing where you want your Pikmin to be thrown, Pikmin is better than ever!
(Note: If you are sensitive to tiny animals getting eaten, I do not recommend this title for you. If this is not the case, give it a try.)

Fun fun fun! The Pikmin are so cute and the game is EXTREMELY challenging so you have to be patient! But it is such a fun game.

I really like the storyline and the game play. It requires some strategy and figuring out but fun throughout the whole way. I just couldn't put it down! My 6 year old daughter didn't like it because of the strategy portion of it. I think it's more for teens and adults. I give this game an Excellent rating because of the storyline, the game play, and even the quality of the visual art was great.

In-Depth, Addictive and fun game playThe original Pikmin was an underrated game on The GameCube back in 2001. Now it seems to be suffering the same fate. The title and cover suggest a cutesy and shallow game experience for the very young ones only. However this is an in-depth real time strategy game that is a lot of fun and I'm a big fan of games like Starcraft and even Warcraft 3! It is certainly far from shallow! The Wii controls on this game work perfectly and complement the game well. Overall If you missed it on Gamecube (or finished it back in 2001 like me) this is your chance to enjoy an amazing game experience and at this price, it's a steal!
Actually when I passed this version a couple weeks ago I immediately started playing it again from the beginning, no breaks with other games, and then I passed it and immediately started playing it again, each time passing it at a better time. You won't want to put it down! I know I sure didn't. Now I can't wait until they release Pikmin 2 for the "New Play Control" series!

A Gamecube classic, but is it worth the price?Review created: 08/10/09(updated 08/10/09)

) Firstly, know that if you've already played Pikmin for the Gamecube there's not much new here, except for the controls. I would have preferred if Nintendo put both Pikmin and Pikmin 2 on the disc. I certainly would not have paid the full $30 for this game (which is why I bought it on ebay). But I suppose they will release Pikmin 2 with new play control later to make more money, since leeching the pockets of loyal fans is Nintendo's new business model.
That said, Pikmin is still a great game, and as an RTS game the point-and-click interface works wonderfully with the Wii's controls (which makes you wonder where Pikmin 3 is). And although the game is fairly linear with a 30 "day" (basically a fifteen minute mission) time constraint, there is some replay value as its always fun to go back and try to beat your best time.
For those who never played Pikmin on Gamecube, I'd give this a 5/5 excellent. If you've already played the game however, I can't recommend it unless you find a good deal on a used copy. Nothing new here to justify the $30, in my opinion.
