Rock Pikmin, my beloved.
A good game on its own with breathtaking graphics, but everything else sort of had to suffer for it. A lot of useful gameplay options from Pikmin 1 and 2 have gone to make way to make the game less strategic and generally a lot easier to play. The characters are a lot more lifeless this time around which is an achivement, since besides Olimar we had a silent glutton and a greedy corporate boss. Speaking of Olimar, he is turned into the Princess Peach of the franchise here. You'll see what I mean when you get to Pikmin 4. I think you'd get the same experience watching this game that you get by playing it.
