Not as great as 2, but I adored it. The extra mechanics of gathering tile, plus the use of the flying Pikmin made it a more than welcome addition to the Pikmin series. I did appreciating having Olimar and Louie be part of the story, instead of them being completely removed. Plus having the Plasm Wraith stalk you and hunt you down during the final boss made for an incredibly tense and scary experience. What I did find odd is that this game has achievements. Is that something Nintendo doesn't normally do with their games? It's got me curious.

I hope we keep these little prey at the top of the food chain once again. And considering this is the best selling Pikmin game, I hope that that future isn't too far away.
