This review is from: Pikmin 3 Wii U Games
Pros:
If you don't hate real-time strategy games, this game is a good enough reason to own a Wii U! Or if you only hate them because they're always about warfare, then you're in luck here! This game has a delightful story mode with stunning NATIVE 1080P graphics and highly entertaining and engaging gameplay. The versus mode, Bingo Battle, is a greatly improved version of the already highly entertaining versus mode from Pikmin 2.
Cons:
The controls have a few issues. The gamepad is well integrated into the gameplay, having a map and allowing you to control multiple characters at once by sending them on a sort of auto-pilot to different areas of the map, but it can be clunky in combat because you use a joystick to target, which can be very difficult when dealing with flying enemies. You can use a Wiimote and nunchuck, which eliminates this problem entirely but then you lose the map! Not enough to lose a star, but worth noting.
The lack of online multiplayer is puzzling, if not unexpected from Nintendo. Worse is the fact that the game has enough characters in it to play up to 5 players, but the most you can play with is 2, and this only in versus or on special challenges. WHY?!?!?!
Overall Review:
The controls and lack of multiplayer are an annoyance, but not enough to lose a star. This game keeps the whole family entertained as my wife and I compete to see who can complete it first and work together to complete challenges all while the kids watch and tell us what to do.
