After playing Pikmin 2 this one feels easier as everyone says but I don't think that's a negative thing, it's more like a breath of fresh air. Although the control is clunky sometimes I really enjoyed it and the graphics are prettier! I love that there's a camera mode to take photos (but I wish you could move freely while doing so). Also there's the bingo!! If only Nintendo would make it online...

I have yet to complete the side missions but my only complaint is not having purple and white pikmin in the story mode.
