| | Pikmin 2 Review for GameCube - Gaming Age |
| | Pikmin 2 is one of those rare games where the entire package comes together so well that it creates such a fun and memorable experience that you never want the game to end. | | | Pikmin 2 plays almost identically to the first game with a few new twists. | | | For those that haven’t played Pikmin before, it’s a difficult game to categorize, but it’s somewhat similar to a real-time strategy game with more focus on exploring and solving puzzles. |

| | Pikmin 2 is one of those games, along with a host of others released around the same time, which will be completely ignored while people play through the several ultra-popular, mainstream games released in late 2004. | | | Pikmin 2 also adds a 2-player mode, which is very fun if you can manage to find anyone else who plays the game. | | | Pikmin 2 ends up playing like a real-time-strategy puzzle game, and the goal is to explore the planet and collect enough treasure to get your company out of debt. |

| | Pikmin 2 - GameCritics.com |
| | The pikmin's strengths and weaknesses vary depending on their colors, and the goal is to strategically utilize a combination of 100 Pikmin to defeat as many enemies and accomplish as many goals as possible in a day (15 minutes of game time). | | | These new pikmin are limited in number so it's usually wise to only bring a few of each, although this will vary depending on the player's personal style. | | | For those unfamiliar with the first Pikmin game, the gameplay consists of leading a large group of tiny humanoid plant-people called pikmin across a vast and dangerous landscape. |

| | If you played the original Pikmin you may be wondering how you are going to be able to command two sets of Pikmin and still finish a level in the time limit given. | | | Pikmin 2 expands on the original game by adding a new main character to help Olimar, new Pikmin, and a new two-player mode. | | | Controlling the crew of different Pikmin to do your dirty work was the object of the game. |

| | Pikmin 2 (cube: 2004): Reviews |
| | Pikmin 2 is one of thse experiences that leave you hooked the short amount of time you play. | | | Pikmin 2 not only improves upon the foundation laid by its predecessor, but wraps strategy, action and puzzle elements into one highly addictive and enjoyable experience that it seems only Nintendo are capable of. | | | While Pikmin 2 may be more of a hybrid remake/expansion pack than a sequel, it's still funny, fun, brilliant, and more daringly weird than what comes out of 95 percent of most major game studios. |

| | Team Fremont: Pikmin 2 Review |
| | Pikmin 2 is a game that uses an ambient soundtrack pretty much throughout never intruding on the gameplay but perfectly complimenting it. | | | A good example is that when you get a group of 20+ Pikmin, when you walk around for a while they'll start humming the Pikmin theme from the first game. | | | Another big change to the way the game is played is the removal of the 30 day time limit. |

| | Pikmin 2 picks up right where the ending sequence of the first title left off only Captain Olimar has returned home not to praise and rejoicing, but to the news that the company he works for is going bankrupt and in serious need of some quick cash. | | | Welcome are the familiar play mechanics that gave players intuitive control over the Pikmin and Olimar at the same time, as well as a new toggling mechanic that lets players choose more easily which Pikmin is next to be tossed. | | | After all the sublevels are completed the player with the most pikmin standing wins. |

| | Pikmin 2 review |
| | The first Pikmin game was relatively skin and bones as far as features go, but Pikmin 2 can run circles around most any Nintendo game as far as the number of modes is concerned. | | | The number of Pikmin born of each color, number of Pikmin lost to each death cause, game time, and number of days taken are tracked here with interesting artwork to go along with each statistic. | | | Though the opportunities of controlling two people do not immediately present themselves, especially since a second player cannot join in during the normal game, they will become clearer as the game grows in difficulty. |

| | Review - Pikmin 2 // Gamecube /// Eurogamer |
| | Purple Pikmin are much bulkier than regular breeds, and count for ten regular Pikmin when it comes to lifting objects or knocking things down, while the white strain are actually poisonous, which allows them to roam through noxious gases and destroy poisonous obstructions, and kill anything that tries to eat them. | | | Otherwise, just about anybody can pick up and play Pikmin 2 and enjoy it, and that even counts for people who don't get on with strategy games. | | | There were different sorts of Pikmin with particular abilities, and each of the game's levels was filled with ingenious challenges that encouraged forethought and lateral thinking. |

| | GameSpy: Pikmin 2 Review |
| | Pikmin 2 is one of the slickest gaming experiences of the year, and Olimar is rapidly becoming my favorite Nintendo character. | | | For those of you new to Pikmin 2 the premise of the game is to command an army of small plant-like creatures to carry out your orders. | | | The usual lack of online play; tiny bits of slowdown here and there; Pikmin sometimes get left behind. |

| | Pikmin 2 GameCube Preview from GMR |
| | There are enough gameplay complexities to keep things challenging, and the time limit of the first Pikmin game has been tossed, allowing you to take as long as you need to experiment and explore. | | | But to focus on the bizarre concept of tiny, servile, flower-topped beings is to ignore how ingenious it was to incorporate army-based tactics into a game without the dull and depressing trappings of a war game. | | | As you get deeper into the game, there are further intricacies—for example, you can collect berries to acquire a potion that you can spray on pikmin to make them feistier. |

| | Pikmin, the original, is easier and its challenge mode more suitable for younger players. | | | Now, you have three types of Pikmin to work with (but you don't know this at the beginning of the game). | | | There is also significantly more to do in Pikmin 2 than in the original and the strategy necessary will require you to deftly maneuver Olivar and Louie as separate individuals leading Pikmin. |

| | Pikmin 2 Review - Gamecube Review - Australia's PAL Gaming Network |
| | Rushing into combat is ill-advised, and having watched scores of Pikmin being electrocuted/rolled over/set on fire in one clean swoop, PALGN quickly learned that taking a few seconds to observe the behaviour of each new enemy was beneficial, certainly moreso than in the first game. | | | Upto one hundred Pikmin can be guided around the screen at any one time, with excess numbers of Pikmin waiting snugly in the curious pod homes where your army of little plant men sleeps each night. | | | Thus, selecting which Pikmin to take underground becomes a strategic decision, with different enemies requiring different types of Pikmin to be overcome. |

| | But soon I learned that that isn't the case at all, because the majority of the game takes place underground and when there, time on the surface is mysteriously stopped. | | | To get an 8-day completion you only need the proper overworld strategies, and since the first 2 days are basically game tutorials there's only 6 days worth of work. | | | I figure if the game is going to forcefully save after every level, I might as well use it to optimize my run. |

| | The pikmin are inarguably cute; the game really knows how to tug at your heart strings. | | | In addition to the main single-player game, Pikmin 2 offers a new two-player competitive mode, which does away with the more complicated points of the game like the multiple colors. | | | If a few pikmin manage to jump on your opponent, they’ll grab on with their tiny pikmin claws and wail away. |

| | In microcosm, this is a strategy game, but there's more to it than that: although there are strategic and puzzle elements, the overriding theme is one of action, which makes for an equally exciting and challenging game. | | | With no time limit, new colours of Pikmin and two-player cooperative play, Pikmin 2 improves on the original in every way. | | | Captain Olimar, the astronaut hero of the original game, makes a welcome return and sets about clearing some bad debts with the aid of the titular Pikmin, which grow from the soil when planted. |
