Pikmin

Tom's Review: I'm on record as a Miyamoto fanboy, so why don't I like this game more? Perhaps because it's essentially Lemmings: solve a handful of puzzles in a 3D world with little red, yellow, and blue pikmin. Perhaps because most of the challenge is the time limit. Perhaps because it's surprisingly short and small. Perhaps because personality can only get you so far. Perhaps because the last thing I need after Molyneux's Black & White is Miyamoto's Red, Yellow, & Blue.
