    Viva Piñata Review

    It's sad to say it, but this game is addicting as hell. However, that's coming from a person who's played a lot of Sims games.
    Viva Piñata is basically a simulation game based off of what I think is some kind of cartoon. You take care of a garden and try to attract many forms of animal-like piñatas. At the same time, you must keep track of how much space you have in your garden and what type of things you need in it. While this is going on, evil piñata creatures invade your garden and can cause sickness(or/and death) to your thriving piñata habitat.
    In some moments of the game, some weird piñata killer guy(haven't played in a while, can't remember what they called him) will come out and try to cause harm to your piñatas. Unfortunately, this is unavoidable.
    Unlike the evil piñata this guy will not stop to harm your piñatas.
    Raising population and getting many different species of piñatas will help you get upgrades for the garden and your shovel(you have to buy upgrades for the grass and water).
    This is a great example of a game to play when bored or when waiting for something to be released. For me, the gameplay never really got repetitive, and I think I should get back to playing the game again.

Believe me, they don’t even come close. I admit the little creatures from Pikmin are quite cute, but the animals in Viva Piñata are so adorable that even the most hardened criminal who registers as a level 22 on Dr. Stones Scale of Evil wouldn’t disagree.The gameplay can be compared to that of the Sims in the sense that you a...

      Viva Piñata is a completely original game; it just can't be classified into the same genre as any 'pet' or 'gardening' game that has come before it. The game starts with you receiving a small, run-down patch of land which you will turn into your garden and as you'd expect as the game goes on you'll gain access to more space and various other things to help make your dream garden. You'll be able to grow grass, care for plants and trees, make ponds, fill your garden with all sorts of objects, make...
