Gameplay:
Basically, the gameplay has not changed much, but there are a few elements that enhance the gameplay. So you control 3 characters at the same time, so that the tag can be put to good use and meets every different tasks at the same time. There are two other Pikmin varieties, which have been very well implemented. So the stone Pikmin are able to smash glass walls and can not be crushed. The Wing Pikmin can hover above the water and carry objects in the air. Instead of multiple bulbs now has only one available, but this is much better, because you can then call the Pikmin better.
Graphics:
It looks as if the game "only" 720p, which is upscaled 1080p, but that does not bother me. Pikmin 3 looks much better than its predecessor and the environment is very beautiful in scene. There is always something going on, you feel as if you really play in a piece of nature. See the whole effects but fabulous from. The bosses look impressive from leaves move, and especially the fruits are made very pretty. In particular, the Kiwi I found beautiful. :)
Control:
There are several control options, I myself have used the gamepad, so my judgment about it. The controls are pretty sensitive, so is that you do fast something you really do not want. But it's just matter of habit. I had only a few problems with the Boss opponents, because you can use the pipe throughout the environment and that is not very practical. In normal activities but that's no problem. In particular, the map was very helpful! With this you can look at where you want to go, you can send other crew members to different places, looking for missing Pikmin, and thereby save a lot of time (which is very precious). Normally I turn the gamepad prefer from, but in this game, I am very satisfied about the screen of the gamepad. Would recommend as it is perhaps awkward, every time when you use the Wii Remote or the Pro Controller, having to switch. The map you need very often!
Scope:
Unfortunately, the scope of which is a bit too short. The game I had been through after almost 7 hours. All fruits are collected, flattened all the bosses and the story with the best evaluations. Then you can still collect a few notes (but especially the secret notes that result in a code) to play and the other two modes, but that's about it for now. Although there are already DLCs been announced, but the extent to which look like no one knows. Probably there will be more missions. The to-find code varies from game to game, I'm assuming that you can get with this exclusive DLC.
For the multiplayer I can not comment yet, but I think that the mission mode and the bingo duel are very funny. ;)
Anyway, Pikmin 3 is a great game. Part 1 was too stressful for me, part 2 was optimal, Part 3 is aimed a little more at part 1 but not too extreme, so that although the time pressure is still felt, but not as bad as in Part 1. I can play for recommend all WiiU owner and would it even be called must-have. There was a lot of fun, but there were minor flaws (some Pikmin sometimes just stand somewhere, so they die at the end), but there can be overlooked. Just be aware spend more. : D
