    See, I love games like Animal Crossing, Sims, Sim City, and each game alike.

    I even love the look of Viva Pinata.

    There's just something I can't get into. I mean, I've only tried it for a few hours, but I just can't get hooked.

    Maybe it's the pacing, I don't know.

    When did you get hooked?

    The Pinata games suffer from what I have termed "The Reverse Too Human Syndrome" in which a shitty game recieves high scores from reviewers for no reason, with the possible exception  that they hate us, the general videogame-playing public, and want us to suffer through terrible games for their own grotesque source of sub-human amusement.  As far as I can tell.

    Game is fine, its just harder than it appears, causing you to make dumb decisions and ruin the game for yourself.

    Like when all of your pinata's start destroying each other and you cant afford to send them to a doctor because you have no coins.

    Try looking up some guides and getting some tips to a successful garden.

    Or maybe its just not for you.

    That's fun, I like to watch the Pinata's suffer..

    Might just not be your game. Try leaving it and playing it another time, see if that helps spark an interest in it

    I found it disturbing as fuck. My once peaceful garden laden with sick pinata's making dying sounds, while the pinata's still alive hung around like vultures waiting to feast on their sweet, sweet insides.

    i didnt like it at first, but once the rare pinata's start showing up the game becomes awesome.

    at first getting birds and worms feel like a chore, but once the more advanced ones start coming out its almost like you have a mission to get all the requirements to get them. and then you try to evolve them. and then the old pokemon, "Gotta catchem all" feel sinks in.  its a time sink, but its worth it.

    Btw, go for some these secret achievements while playing, they're like mini side quests, http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=90213

    This chocodile made my viva pinata time worth while.
