Pikmin

"Anyone hungering for the best of the GameCube should try Pikmin. It might not be flashy enough to be called a system-seller, but it’s among the most original games in years."

"Probably the oddest and most distinct title recently launched for any system, and that's a good thing. Addictive to the point of obsession, and deeper as a strategy game than you might think."

"Pikmin is a creative, original take on console strategy gaming. Not everyone may take to the strategic undercurrent, but as it stands, this Pikmin has already fixed its roots deep in my jaded gamer's heart."

"It’s hard to put across just how inventive, original and amazing this game is, you really do have to play it in order to see what all the fuss is about. Its length is a slightly worrying factor but it’s not that bad, after all its quality not quantity and this game is quality in leaps and bounds. Yet another master piece from the creative, yet crazy mind of Mr. Miyamoto himself. We salute you! "

"It is not everyday that you come across a title for console that uses the planning of resources and the careful study of the environments as key elements of the game, and at the same time it doesn’t turn its nose up at a certain degree of action and charm (especially as far as the style of graphics is concerned)."
