I think Pikmin 2 is 5 stars so I think this is 5 stars.
This is really neat package. Not too expensive and has a couple of great games that you'll certainly get your moneys worth from. I prefer the more rigid survival structure of the first game. However I still had a great time playing the second game, but that was a little too chaotic overall.
It's nice to have a complete series on the same console now. I hope we get a few more treated like this, too (we won't).

A great port and the best way to get into the series. Love these Gamecube ports Nintendo does I'll buy them all
Honestly do not gaf that this is 50$ cause if they didnt release this i would have probably never played them. This is not like when sony releases tlou for the 25th time on a console that is fully capable of playing the other 24 versions
It was fun to look back at the franchise's origins. But I'm thankful the series has improved so much since then. It felt like a step back, especially after playing Pikmin 3 and 4 right before it.
I had the first game when I was a kid, and the time limit used to really stress me out. I was so afraid to mess up that I never actually ended up beating the game.
After having completed 4, I decided to go back and buy this bundle, and finally get my revenge on Pikmin 1.
It ended up being pretty straighforward and I beat it in basically one day, with more than half of the in-game days left to spare.
Really shows how 20 years of life and playong games chamges you and your perspective on games.
The next day, I booted up Pikmin 2, and oh boy, it is a very different beast. I think one my friends had lent it to me as a kid, and one of the only things I remembered from it is how I disliked being only able to get purple and white Pikmin from caves (I think as a kid, I was so afraid to lose Pikmin that I spent days farming them, so having such a strong restriction in 2 bothered me).
I feel like the target audience for Pikmin 1 and 2 are pretty different :
1 is fairly chill after all, even if it is horryfing to see your Pikmin be eaten, drown or fall to their death.
2 is overtly trolling you at points. While you progress in caves, bombs or ennemies will sometimes drop on you from litteraly nowhere, and the design of the ennemies in conjuction with the randomly-generated level layouts can be very frustrating. I think back of it with a chuckle now, but on my first playthrough, I was definitely not laughing.
Nonetheless, both games are little gems, but the second one took me at least 4 times longer to beat than the second. Even though they look very similar, what they achieve is very different, and I ened up warming up to Pikmin 2's tough love after all.
Give them a try !
