    Its keeps all of its colorfulness and charm from the 360, There a

    Viva Pinata first came out on the 360 a year or two and a little later found its way to the PC. The PC verison is one of a few titles that actully uses the game of windows features which add all the thing like achievements and so on. Mark my words when i say this just cause the game looks a little kiddy should not turn you away. Viva Pinata is one of the most enjoyable and frustrating games out on the market today.

    When you start your giving a patch of land where u have to turn it into a place where these creatures called Pinatas can live. As you progress in the game
    more Pinata will turn up looking for a place to stay. To actually get them to stay will require you to do tasks such as have a certain amount of water in your garden or even eating another Pinata. This is where you see how deep Viva Pinata really is. Much of your time willactually be drawn to growing plants and trees and other such tasks in order to get the Pinata. Infact i was pretty surprised that the rating was only a 3+ as there a few things in here that seem maybe a higher rating might have been an idea. As i said thought even thought the is great fun it can get very repetitive at times. trying to get Pinata may require you to do a long process maybe two of three times. Also there a lot of grinding in the game and it does get boring.

    Viva Pinata is a stunning looking game due to its art design and its just colorful look. The great part is that its system specs are also quite low as well. The actually Pinata really add to the games look thought. There some fantastic designs, great background and just so colorful the screen is busting with life. Even so at times the graphics due tend to look a little blockly a times.

    What to say about the sounds. Well for starters it a has a great intro. Also when you Romance your Pinata each do a different dance with different music which just adds to its colorful andquick feel.

    There are major Flaws and bugs thought in the PC verison that really do let it down. And its a case of will it been nice enough to work on my comp with no problems. Even thought it will run on a low spec PC I don't recommend it as there more chance of it lagging like hell or it won't run at all. Even thought I warn for low spec PCs this did happen on mine and it was a pain to fix. I really recommend Viva Pinata but its really a game you have to put a lot of care and time into but this is a game where you will keep coming back. If you have a 360 thought irecommend sticking with that verison due to the temperament of the PC version. All in all its a great colorful but time consuming game that you really do have to a bit quite a bit of effort into but you do feel like you get rewarded for that time and effort which is always a good feeling.
