As much as any game should, Pikmin 3 did a great job of expanding and improving on the stuff that was done well in Pikmin 1 and 2 and it ditched some not great stuff as well. No more godly Purple Pikmin or purple potion, nor do we have the rogue-like dungeon crawling of Pikmin 2. Pikmin 3 has amazingly gorgeous environments that do a splendid job of giving us the view of something the size of an ant. The new Pikmin types, three captains, interesting puzzles and bosses make this game a very fun game to play the first time through.
