Never played it. I heard good things though, but none of my friends played it.

I played the first one and enjoyed it. Looking to buy Pikmin 2 when the bank account can handle a game purchase. Actually looking forward to buying lots of games but me gots no money.

Loved the first! And everything I disliked about it seems to be corrected in the sequel. I'll definately buy this!

I just bought this. I really, really like it.. I started playing it this afternoon and just stopped now at 10 pm. Great game, and I've only put 10 days into it. I really like the cave system and the old nostalgic items you can get. And the Piklopedia is FUN! I love throwing Pikpik carrots at monsters; some of their reactions are just funny.

I think im going to be getting this one soon, since I just got paid yesterday.

Got it, and I must say, im impressed. Im not all that far into it, but I just love how its so much more relaxed than the other. With the 30 day time limit, you didnt have any time whatsoever to just appreciate things and explore at your own pace. It just feels right now that its gone. A question to those who have it...do you play with deflicker on or off? I found that If I turned it off, my eyes would start to hurt a little after I played for an hour or so...maybe this has something to do with me running it in Progressive scan, Im not sure. Im thinking maybe they were expecting this kind of thing, especially with that warning that is displayed when you first boot it up.

I'm playing Deflicker with S-videos and I can only see a little bit of difference. Doesn't really hurt my eyes.
