Before I had finished the game, I rated it a 4.5. Once I completed it, I had to push it to a perfect score. Once you complete the main story, the game expands in a way I really did not expect. Fans of Pikmin 1 will be very pleased as well as completionists will be met with the hardest content the game has to offer. This truly is the best Pikmin game and one of the greatest Nintendo games ever published.
