Pikmin 2 is totally rad!

Pikmin 2 has excited me ever since I ripped off the plastic covering. You control Olimar and Louie, two cadets sent from a far away planet to a planet much like Earth to salvage objects to pay a debt on your home world. Shortly after landing on this strange planet, you happen upon some very peculiar plant-like creatures called Pikmin.
Pikmin come in as many as 5 colors: red, yellow, blue, white and purple. Each color of Pikmin have their own attributes which you must find out along the way. The Pikmin help you find, dig up and carry various "treasures" and carry them back to your ship for them to be analyzed and stored. Many obstacles and enemies block Olimar and Louie from the treasure. Luckily the Pikmin have leafy heads with which to batter the obstacles and defeat the enemies.
Call upon the Pikmin with your whistle, they will follow you. Throw the Pikmin at enemies or do a swarm attack. Command them to pick up the treasure. Olimar and Louie can be separated to do different tasks.
But how do you get more Pikmin? Easy! Just kill some flowers and enemies and have the Pikmin take them back to their ships. The ships will consume them and shoot out some Pikmin seedlings. Have Olimar and Louie pick them out of the ground and you will have more.
Your time on the planet is short. Olimar and Louie can only be on the planet during the day. When night comes gather all your Pikmin and store them on board their ships and take off into an orbit around the planet. Any Pikmin left behind will be eaten by the creatures that come out at night.
How many days it takes for you to pay off your debt is up to you. Take your time and have fun. There are so many different things do to, it is almost too much. There is so much more I want to say about this fantastic game, but you'll just have to find out for yourself.
