Has anyone noticed the "Games for Windows Live" version of this game is only $10.24 on Amazon? That's marked down from $39.99!!

Totally worth it. And more points to boot!

Just 10 bucks
im getting it now

I can't recommend it. I'm a big fan of Rare, so I picked up this one for $20 a long time ago, and I was pretty disappointed. The game is freaking stressful as heck. Also, when I played, I always got the feeling that I couldn't stop because there was still so much to do all the time, so I'd end up playing much longer than I wanted to and man... this game was wrecking my life! Plus I hated that you can't have one totally huge garden with all kinds of different terrain and all the pinatas. Instead you need to make multiple small gardens if you want to have them all. I guess I understand considering that these pinatas don't live so peacefully together on your own and would probably just all kill each other if you weren't there to constantly try to manage them. I'd like to finish the game, but man, at this point, I'd need to use a guide because I am struggling.
 
But you know, $10 is quite a steal for any decent game, so if any of you buy it, it won't be the worst purchase of your life by any stretch. However, don't go into it expecting a fun, soothing, relaxing little game to play on the weekends, like I did. It can be very stressful and frustrating, and you'll probably be running around like a chicken with it's head cut off most of the time.
