This is a Japanese import review from NGamer Magazine Issue 33, on sale now
It's a game based on a bizarre daydream Shigeru Miyamoto once had while pottering around in his garden. What if there were little vegetable-based aliens down there in the grass? What if you were stranded in their world? What if you could raise an army of them and battle fierce creatures while planning your escape?
There are three types of veggie Pikmin to control. Red ones are immune to fire, yellow ones can pick up the explosive volcanic rocks you'll find hidden in dark corners and blue ones can wade through the water that causes the others to drown slowly and horribly.
You can have a total of 100 out in the game world at any time, and they scamper along behind the spaceman hero, Olimar, until you fling them towards an object or creature you want them to interact with. If it needs killing, they'll kill it first - taking heavy casualties if you don't direct them carefully towards the animal's weak spot - and take its carcass back home to be processed into more vegetable brothers and sisters.
