 Pikmin 2 > Review
The Pikmin (which Olimar named after a brand of carrots) look like half-ant, half-plant creatures, coming in multiple varieties, with different kinds touting unique traits (red ones are fire-resistant, blue ones can survive water, etc.).

In Pikmin 2, players control Olimar and Louie, switching between them to do multiple tasks at once, a new feature that, while a simple idea, comes as a stroke of genius, letting one character manage supply-gathering at home while the other explores or fights monsters, or combining their efforts to solve puzzles.
