DESCRIPTION

The world encompassing the piñata community is slowly dying, and to keep these creatures from going extinct, players must create a world where the piñata can thrive. Viva Piñata offers a place for gamers to create a lush green environment where all kinds of piñatas can live and prosper. Players have complete creative control over the neighborhoods they create, and can add grass, flowers, trees, fences, ponds, and other objects that will lure in the piñatas. Each type of piñata has different needs, such as a worm piñata's need for good earth to burrow in, and a rabbit piñata's need for long grass and carrots.

Piñatas can come in the form of customizable horses, sheep, raccoons, worms, crocodiles, or wolves, and just like in nature, some of them will not get along. Players can build fences to keep rival piñatas away from one another, and also to keep predator piñatas away from prey. Wild piñatas are red with black stripes and can cause general disorder in a garden. They are filled with bad candy that is poisonous to other piñatas, but they can be handled by asking helpers to beat them with a stick, taming them, or sending them off to pollute another player's garden.

Connecting to the Xbox Live online community opens up opportunities for item trading, player competitions, and obtaining rare objects and game currency through the Xbox Live Marketplace. ~ Gracie Leach, All Game Guide

“Great game for $20. Very entertaining as I usually end up playing very serious and gritty looking games. Good buy if you get some time to get it.”

“Sometimes you just don't feel like action or shooters. Sometimes it's just a viva pinata type of night. Hadn't played this one in years, and was kind of anoyed I had lost my previous saves. ...”

“Viva Pinata can be fun when you're trading pinatas with your friends and putting the food chain into action, but if you're not careful, you get stuck and frustrated.”

“People think this is just a kids game, but even an adult can get drawn into this colorful game. You start out with a small plot of land for gardening and as you get better and progress, you start to unlock new items and pinatas to make your garden...”
