Pikmin 2, in my opinion, feels like a step down from the first one. Not only does it feel like, nothing is wrong and you have unlimited time to do everything, but you do it with the most bullshit of challenges in the dungeon system.

The nice array of Pikmin is a good change of pace and I do like having two captains, but I wish the game was more focused on getting the time limit and have that challenge vs you have all the days to get everything.
