I feel...a little empty after playing this game. Hands down, this is the best Pikmin game ever and one of the best video games I have ever played, but...
I feel like there could have been more. That might just be me in the "new game" phase still, but I felt like the game should have been a bit longer. Maybe it was because the bestiary was not as wide as the previous two.
I definitely do believe that the boss battles were epic, and this game had the best plotline as well as a continuous plot that had a few side plots along the way, rather than "get treasure" or "get ship parts".
And to those that complained about the ground texture, I'm pretty sure that in the Quaggled Mireclops battle that the muddy ground was not flat. I just love the graphics of the game, and I love all the Pikmin. I definitely agree with Miyamoto that this was the game that really made Pikmin feel like it should be.
