A bit short and a bit easy, but a fun pikmin game. A nice way to start with the series I'd say.
The environnements look very pretty in HD, and the rainy days are a nice addition. Collecting fruits feels like a logical follow-up to the previous games, and seeing the juice flowing at the end of each day is kinda satisfying. Also it's nice to see Olimar and Louie again, and the whole misunderstanding surrounding them was fun.
Gameplay-wise, the two new pikmin types are nice; having three captains works quite well and is better implemented than in Pikmin 2. Locking the camera on the ennemy can be pretty useful, but the "charge" is not as practical as the "swarm" mechanic (although I've heard they changed it a bit in the deluxe version).
Also the lack of Piklopedia is sad. The game has quite the bestiary and they're all so well rendered, I would have love to have a place to watch them do their life and learn about them and about this world. The creatures just feel less important here ...
