Now that I think about and play Ocarina of Time along with this, this is much like Zelda in many
ways, only you're not armed with a sword and shield.You're equipped with Pikmin, adorable plant/mammal creatures.And you have to pay off a debt, not save a magical kingdom. Nevertheless, there are some much
commons to Zelda.
For instance, the layout is quite similar. There are small caves that you commonly enter in order to collect all those darn treasures. They're similar to the dungeons in Zelda.You can't find very many treasures on the overworld,so it has less signifigance than the overworld in Zelda, and you access dungeons a lot less frequently than the caves.And it takes you a looong time to
completely beat the game. I've had this game for
a year, and I still haven't beaten it,
contrast to Sonic Heroes and Super Mario Sunshine,which I just completed the story in a matter of months.And SA2B only took from Christmas to late January,or maybe even shorter.
The graphics are still as eye-shocking and wondrous as the Zelda series,but they're better.
OoT had several rips in the graphics,and WW pertained too much to cel-shading.But Pikmin 2
outdoes them by having a magical enviroment like
Star Fox Adventures. It processes as slow like KH, but that speed is just fine. Now that I'm thinking about it,I play more games with average
movement than blazing-fast,eye bending Sonic.
Pikmin 2 is a classic game,just like their ancestor. It closes to Zelda more than Virtua
Quest,which is a hybrid of its own magic,Zelda,&
modern Sonic. It may not be a Player's Choice, but it's
still a recommended buy. Who says a game's gotta
be a Player's Choice to be good?
When I first played it, it took me 86 days to clear the first half. The second time, however,I
did better,and finished the first half in 32 days
flat!And guess what?I lost NO Pikmin to fire,and
less than ten to poision!And I birthed over 1000
Pikmin!
