Pikmin 2 a month or so ago, 100%. I even got all pink flowers on the challenges. was not an easy task I tell you.
overall it was a massive improvement over the first game in every way (not saying the first game was bad by any means though). it just had much improved control and you could throw Pikmin much faster which is a major thing for me, and there was a lot more to do, the new enemies are awesome (the Waterwraith scared to bazoobles out of me when I first encountered it though), it was harder, had me coming back almost all the time until I 100%'d it, gave me reasons to go through already-beaten caves again, the existence of Purple Pikmin, which is enough of a reason in itself to call the game an improvement, required you to be very quick and crafty, and really made you think out your strategies in a vast variety of perplexing situations.
recently when I came back to replay the first game (I hadn't worked out my Pikmin fever yet cause the sequel was so amazing), I really noticed how much more difficult it is to get to grips with the physics hehe. the fact that Pikmin trip a lot more often is rather bothersome and slows you down too. but it was still awesome though. I think having just come back from the second game put a big impact on how the controls felt, that's all.
