Captain Olimar is now joined by larrikin Louie - a clever addition that allows efficient multi-tasking, more complex puzzles and absorbing two-player action.

A wholly enjoyable follow-up to the original and manages to keep things fun for a long, long time with its lengthier single-player adventure, host of streamlined gameplay additions, and extensive multi-player modes.
Nintendo has really stepped up to the plate on this one and hit a homerun. If you like the original Pikmin, you'll pee in your pants with delight when you play Pikmin 2.
With tons of new levels, characters, and treasures, this game will have you coming back for more, even after you've paid off that debt. They've taken everything that we've held dear about the original, and expanded it throughout, making a more complete game and creating something that is a pleasure to play.
Take the excellent formula to the original Pikmin and combine it with new Pikmin colors, a new character and a versus mode and you've obviously got a great game. Still, I found the sublevels and the limitations on being able to collect the white and purple Pikmin pretty tedious.
I can’t decide if this or Pikmin 4 are better. Either way, legendary game! Must play.

The Good
• The Pikmin AI has been vastly improved from Pikmin 1.
• The quality of life added to throwing is really nice. Should be noted that it was added to Pikmin 1 as well in its ports.
The Bad
• Pikmin 2’s balance is bad. It gets way too difficult once you get past the 10000 Poko objective and a lot of the game's faults are related to that
• The Doomsday Apparatus single-handedly makes Purple Pikmin a nightmare to deal with, as you need 100 Purple Pikmin to carry the Doomsday Apparatus. This means both wanting to reset upon a loss of a Purple Pikmin, and having to grind for them.
• The game is mostly caves which is a problem because they aren’t really good. They’re randomly generated and are way too hard by the end.
Overall
Pikmin 2 is I can't imagine myself coming back to, at least not often.
The poor balancing ends up spreading to the entire game and horribly messing things up.

Summary Captain Olimar has returned to the planet where the Pikmin live, and he's all business this time. The company he works for is going bankrupt, so to save it, Olimar must salvage the treasure buried all over the planet. Of course, he'll need the help of the Pikmin to do that--he can't do anything by himself. Control one of two main char...
