A sweet snack to pass the time
I'd like to start by saying however your friends might disagree this game is a fun energetic game that any gamer should not fell ashamed to play while on xbox live.
The game has some of the best graphics currently on the xbox, from the nice water engine to the draw distance the game is incredibly inviting to the eye. The core game play does have flaws but game is still a deep and rewarding experience that gets me all giddy inside trying to get that darn chewnicorn. There is a great variety of animals with creative puns on names which are always good and keeps you hooked trying to find out what you'll see next. The romance games are fun for a time and every pinata has a unique to it's own.
The lack of multi player is very disappointing, while you can send things to each other's garden over xbox live. Restricting the garden to a some what small area does not allow for any one garden to hold all the pinata you want. but eh lack of restricting any pinata can get your garden stuffed pretty full in no time with pinata you don't want. Controlling some of the animals can be bothersome and finding them can be beyond frustrating when they are in a tree or on a house you can not reach.
In review Viva Pinata is a fun family friendly game with surprisingly deep game play, while not the best party game it is a excellent one player game to help past the summer time. All in all this is a excellent game that is worth every penny, if you can find it at a discount.
