Pikmin has become my favorite Nintendo IP. It is unique, the environments are beautifully crafted, it’s quirky and amusing, it exemplifies what I love most about Nintendo.....their creativity and willingness to think outside the box (not only hardware, but game concepts as well), and I find it to be a peaceful, relaxing RTS. Hardly a "chore", as GS puts it, I find it incredibly enjoyable to lead my own plant army and have them doing various tasks at once. There's much enjoyment to be found in allocating resources to different tasks and watch them work. It’s one of the most gratifying series of games I’ve ever played.
I can understand the 7, as Pikmin is pretty niche and has a limited appeal. But I love it, and don't care what scores it gets. It's, IMO, Miyamoto at his best. Downloading now.
