    Advantages Advantages Fun, addictive, cute graphics.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Could have better XBOX LIVE features.

    At first the colorful visuals and cute graphics make it seem like Viva Pinata is a game designed exclusively for children... wrong!.

    Advantages Advantages Longevity, fun and bright.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Too Addictive!

    Viva Piñata. Xbox 360 When I purchased my Xbox 360 it came with a couple of games in the bundle including Viva Piñata. From looking at the box I would say this is not the kind of game I would usually purchase, however it was a freebie so I gave it ago and I was pleasantly surprised. Viva Piñata comes in a normal green Xbox 360 box, the size of a DVD case, contained inside the box is a game disc along with an instruction manual for the game. The game instruction manual is written in English and is very clear and simple to follow. The game is based in a garden setting which you must look after ... more

    Advantages Advantages Stunning Graphics, Customise Everything, Interact with friends using Xbox Live

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can Feel Childish

    I am not ashamed to admit that Kameo is my favourite Xbox 360 game, I believe that it showed of the capabilities of the Xbox 360 right from the start and it still is in my opinion a very beautiful game, so you can imagine how eager I was then to get my hands on Rare's latest wonder that is Viva Piñata and while it isn't quite what I was expecting, I was certainly surprised with what I saw. To explain this game to people who don't know, basically you are given a patch of land which you must make into a garden which is unique and colourful enough to attract the wild roaming piñatas and make them ... more
