Pikmin 2 manages to take everything from 1 and improve on it from the graphics to the gameplay to the pikmin themselves everything is improved. While i understand many dislike the cave system and hate the removal of the time limit i see 1 and 2 as two different gameplay styles for the series they both set out to do different things and succeed in my eyes, so while it changed alot i dont fault it for that as its not trying to be pikmin 1. With that being said the insanity of the electric hazard and how broken purple pikmin are does make the game a bit messy though regardless of that i still consider it a great game and a worth any fan’s time.
