Pikmin is a great game, but I am not a fan of the new control scheme.

It's easier and quicker to aim with the pointer, but the tradeoff is that aiming is much less precise. Swarming awkwardly uses the pointer when it used to be controlled independently of the cursor.

On top of the control issues, you can now rewind to any previous day, cutting any sort of real tension the original had. Some sound effects were mistakenly sped up and sound too high-pitched. There are additional glitches as well.

I can't recommend a shoddy port like this, you're better off playing the GameCube version.
