anybody played Pikmin 2?

I'm curious, I can't really get a handle on what this game is like, or if I would like it, but it seems intriguing.

1. i have, and i loved it.

my only complaint is that it's too short.

but what you do, basically, is this:

you are the two captains of a spaceship that has landed on earth, your goal is to find treasure. in the first game, you crash landed and discovered these very helpful little creatures known as Pikmin to help you carry objects. each different color pikman has a different ability. generally what you do is solve puzzles, find treasure, and pay back a loan to the company you work for. it's good, clean fun.

2. sounds like

a variation of Lemmings, in 3D, sort of. Right?

4. i've never played lemmings...

but it is in total 3d.

5. sort of, yeah, that's probably the best analogy i can think of now.

along that vein, which gave us Lost Vikings, Oddworld, etc. yeah, pretty much like lemmings in 3D.

3. I played it once at a store display.

I was quite intrigued, even though I had no clue what I was doing. I thought they were ants or something.
