OMG This game is the greatest. Seriously, it is amazing. So much replay value...so many things to do...it really is a game no 360 owner should be without. The achievements are good, the sound is sublime and the graphics..woah. Check amazon 4 some amazing prices guys! I've also found pinataisland.info which is a site dedicated to VP (A very good site, as well) which has RARE employees on it regularly. … Expand

This game is unique and cute. The things to do around the garden can get boring at times but the experience is very rewarding in the end.

Without a doubt one of my favorite Xbox 360 games.

I got it for my kids... And have hardly stopped playing since friday night. No other 360 game has ever done that to me.

The game is not perfect, but it is absolutely brilliant, Rare's best since the original Perfect Dark. The characterisation of the Pinatas, the control scheme, the voice acting, the animation, the learning curve... it's all top-notch. This deserves to sell by the truckload. The only faults are an occassionally cumbersome interface, and play area that can grow too small too quickly (presumably so younger players don't get too swamped). Overall: buy it!… Expand

It is to complicated and difficult to be considered a "Childs game", go ahead, try to get 50/59 achievements, you will see how serious this game can become. It is all great fun though, the great thing about the game is, it always gives you something to do. It might seem overwhelming at first, but if you give it time, it'll reward you with one of the better games of its year.

I had my doubts about this game, but it's totally deep and worth trying. I found myself playing for hours without realizing it. A very well done game.

Not a bad title at all, it's pretty much like playing the sims. The visuals are excellent and the mechanics are easy to follow and use. The piñatas don

This is an amazing game. The Pinatas are just so colorful and fit in with the environment. I personally like this game and give it a 9/10.

Absolutely briliant! Compelling, unique gameplay, gorgeous stylised graphics!

Viva Pinata is one of the most visually effective games that I have ever seen. There aren't really much mapping and stuff, but it simply looks beautiful, its like watching a pre-rendered cartoon yourself. This is the kind of utilisation of system compabilities that developers should be aiming for, effective and simply. The controls could use some tweaking though and the need to go through a short loading screen to read your encyclopedia or buy some seeds is really quite irritating. The concept of the game is really excellent, and for what it is trying to accomplish, is already doing a very good job. Come up with a sequel! Improve the controls and get rid of loading screens and I bet gaming sites will be giving it 9.5-10s!… Expand

Beautiful and brutal, exhausting and exhilirating. Cute, sweet, sour. The deepest gameplay this side of Oblivion. Perfect.

The mark of a truly great game is its ability to make you enjoy a genre you normally wouldn't go near. Viva Pinata has a completely addicting combination of laid-back gameplay and beyond bizarre visual elements. It's a very original game, and one that keeps you coming back just to see what wackiness awaits. Minus 1 point for a slightly clunky control scheme, otherwise it's perfect.

I was joking about how dumb this game looked and joked about her getting it, but my sister took it seriously, and I laughed my a** off when she brought it home but when i started playing it, I realized that it wasnt that bad, and it is kinda cute. Anyone who likes animals, stuffed animals, and stuff like "the sims" has to play this game.

Its genius! and so unique! Thats a good game!!

This game is genius. You'dx think it would be bad, but it's really not. It's fun, rewarding, and can be challenging. Don't be fooled. This is a brilliant game and i reccomend it.

It's so addictive I can hardly believe it .While hardly my usual type of game I struggled to put the controller down every time I played it.Amazing...

A surprisingly fantastic game. Lot's of fun, truly a great, hidden gem. I went in expecting nothing, I came out with a relaxing game full of depth. Great to play between intense games to reset your brain, just saying. :P

Viva Pinata is possibly the best, if not one of the best, life simulation games of all times. Conjuring up cuteness that The Sims could never handle, the graphics and animations are fluid and vibrant, and the mating dance is always a spectacle. The controls are simple and easy to use, but hard to master. Combine that with some helpful tips and a range of pinatas to bring into your garden, and you end up with a gem of a video game. If you're sick of all the shooters and hack-n-slash games, and you feel the need for some relaxing, full of depth gameplay, purchase this video game.… Expand
