  • Summary: Viva Piñata is a wacky, zany, and anything-can-happen comedy series that answers the question, for the first time ever, “Where do Piñatas come from?” In a lush environment on Piñata Island, a multitude of happy, colorful Piñatas live the sweet life, frolicking, dancing and filling themselvesemselves up with the most delicious goodies a child could ever want! Then they eagerly await the glorious day when they are ‘chosen’ by the Piñata Factory to attend birthday parties, and special celebrations all over the world, bringing joy, treats and tons o’ fun to kids of all ages. It’s no wonder that wherever the Piñatas go, they’re the life of the party. Viva Piñata is a window to fantastical world full of wild-roaming Piñata. Players choose from hundreds of elements to customize heir world in order to attract piñatas, foster good relationships among the 60+ piñata, and navigate the conflicts and dangers that threaten to break them open.

    The game is so charming that the gameplay doesn’t feel particularly repetitive. The visual style is gorgeous, the ‘romance dance’ for each type of piñata is clever and imaginative, and there’s some great music here too, in a range of styles that won’t have you reaching for the mute button any time soon.

    Viva Pinata is a very deep and rich game. This review has touched on only small parts of the overall experience.

    It might not be as grandiose a job other things that sim fans may have had experience with, but it's a unique change of pace that they may want to try out.

    Crashes booted me to the desktop a dozen times. And a save corruption resulted in the loss of a level-17 garden and my last shred of patience. [Feb 2008, p.83]

    This is kind of a failed LocoRoco/Patapon/LittleBigPlanet, which all have FUN childish gameplay, but this game just sucks if you ask me. the only funny thing is the idea...… Collapse
