I know there is a lot of respect for the Pikmin franchise on this board, I already noticed that.
I bought myself this Friday Pikmin 2 (Europe), It's the first time I ever play the Pikmin franchise so it was my first confrontation with the pikmins. ^^
I never had the chance to play Pikmin 1 but I really wanted to play it, when Pikmin 2 came in Europa I thought it was thé moment to try the Pikmin franchise.
Anyway, I'm not that far at the moment.. I just met the yellow Pikmins in area 3, I do have respect for this franchise because Miyamoto probably knew this game wouldn't get the mainstream gamers attention because of it's "kiddy" look. (and don't get me wrong, I adore that kind of game)
Besides that the Pikmin franchise also gets my respect because of the outdoor areas where lots of atmosphere is, not to mention the detail in it: the outdoor places just feel alive.
now... like I already said I'm not that far into the game and I finished +- 4 dungeons yet, but damn I'm just disappointed in those dungeons.. they are just boring and it's always a big relief when they end. (what never can be a good thing in a game if you are happy when it's over)
Not to mention the looks of those (early) dungeons I played: they just don't have that atmosphere the outdoor areas have.
Now.. I heard that the later dungeons gets more complex and more fun, is that true?
I know that Pikmin 1 didn't have dungeons, only 5 outdoor areas what maybe is a positive thing for me because I enjoy myself more in the outdoor areas than in do in the dungeons.. (at the moment, maybe like I already said the dungeons get way better)
But if I think about the time limit in Pikmin 1: I just hate it when I feel rushed by some kind of time limit
So I was wondering, what do you guys think was the best Pikmin? if you need to give an overall critic. (+ just give an overall not to personal opinion: don't get me wrong, it's just normal if you first played Pikmin 1 you'll had more fun with it than you had with Pikmin 2 because of it's fresh feeling)
P.S: how many outdoor areas does Pikmin 2 have? I heard it has 4? Are they big?
