...****Viva Pinata**** I tried this game at my friends house one day and really liked it.Being skint i couldn't actually afford to buy it so imagine my delight when it appeared on my doorstep a few weeks later-my friend had bought me it!! :-) **What's it about?**** Viva Pinata is sort of like the sims -you can control what you do and in a way you are like god. At the start of the game you have a small patch of land which you have to de- junk and fix up.Once you have done this animals start to appear on your land.If you take care of their needs they might even stay and have babies. As the game progresses and you complete more tasks you get more land and more pinatas. The game has over 60 pinatas and it can be played online,where you can interact with your friends and trade pinatas(or anything else you want) This game is for 3...

Viva Elvis

Advantages: Fun, great music, easy to watch,great stars, good singing and dancing
Disadvantages: Ridiculous plot

...This year my husband has begun working with someone who remains a huge fan of Elvis Presley. This guy must have every film and recording that Elvis ever did. Hubby has been borrowing a few and this is how I came to sit down and watch Viva Las Vegas last week. I was never much of an Elvis fan when I was younger. As a teenager of the 1960's I was just a little out of his fan base's age group . For me he was too clean cut. Well it shows you how wrong you can be. However with age I find I can appreciate just how good his voice was and just how beautiful in appearance he was, at some stages of his life. I have seen Viva Las Vegas many years ago but nothing much apart from the theme tune had stayed memorable. Having said that I do not remember the theme tune music being as fast as it is. So viewing this movie about 40 years on what did I...

Viva Piñata

Advantages: Stunning Graphics, Customise Everything, Interact with friends using Xbox Live
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 become residents, as your garden improves and you attract more piñatas, you will then be awarded with different upgrades which enable you to improve your garden even more. The upgrades that you will receive include improvements to your...

  "Viva Las...Acne?!"

Advantages: The facial sauna is fantastic for cleansing your skin, especially if acne prone
Disadvantages: If you're not careful, your skin could become rather sensitive, the water does get HOT

...I don?t want anything to do with them. Out comes the facial sauna and off go the party animals of acne land... OK SO THAT WAS A PRETTY BAD METAPHOR TYPE THING. FORGET THE DISCO ? WHAT IS VIVA?S FACIAL SAUNA ALL ABOUT? Viva?s Facial Sauna is basically a device that uses steam as a way to open and cleanse your pores so that you can get rid of the grease, grime and bacteria that can ultimately cause spots. It?s very similar to what you could have done in a salon but in many ways this is more convenient and cheaper. Obviously, it?s your machine so you can use it at midnight if it suits you best and once you?ve paid for it, IT?S YOURS! Just think of it as a portable face salon thing to use in the comfort of your own home and we?re pretty much on the same level of thinking. One of the biggest advantages to the Viva Facial Sauna is...

¡Viva Viva Piñata!

Advantages: Colourful, clean fun
Disadvantages: A bit too open-ended

...Viva Piñata is a sandbox game that was released roughly a year ago, but it still hasn?t lost any of its charm. Finding a game that doesn?t involve killing someone on the Xbox 360 isn?t an easy feat, so you can imagine my delight when I saw this game! STORY You are a gardener who is put in charge of a run down plot of land and are given the objective of making it more beautiful again. As you clear up the land and add certain objects, ?piñatas? will be attracted to your garden. Other than that, the game is pretty open-ended, like many sim games. GAMEPLAY When you start to clear up the land with your trusty shovel, piñatas will be attracted to your land. There are certain requirements that will require an ?appearance?, ?visit? and for a piñata to become a ?resident?. For example, the first piñata you receive is a ?Whirlm?, which...

viva pinata is viva good!!!!

Advantages: ggod graphics good fun
Disadvantages: not many customisation options

...Viva pinata is available on Xbox 360. When i first got the game i was unsure whether it would be the sort of game that i like. Turns out its the sort of game i get addicted to!!!!!! The games is based on a land where pintats live and breed. You play as the gardener, it is your job to tend to your garden to attract pinatas first to visit and then to become residents in your garden. Once they are a resident you can then build them houses and romance them. As your experience within the game increases, you recieve awards and are able to start to purchase items for your garden such as as flowers trees and ornaments. These all add value to your garden. As you become more expereinced you also then attract more exoticpinatas to your garden, and if you have certain pinatas resident then this will also attract others. That is pretty much...

I Love Viva Pinata!

Advantages: Fun, addictive, cute graphics.
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!. This game has much more depth to it that fist appears, with a deep strategy and unfolding story line. ***Background Information*** Developed by Rare Ltd, Viva Pinata is a colorful simulation game often likend to The Sims, Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon. The original concept began as "Your Garden" in 2002, this idea then went on to evolve as Viva Pinata. Viva Pinata was officially anounced on the 15th March 2006 and later released on the 6th November 2006 with a "general audience" or "everyone" rating. ***Basic Gameplay*** In a nut shell- the aim of the viva pinata game is to create a beautiful garden that will act as a haven for pinata species. Starting out with a small neglected plot...

Viva Pinata, Filled With Fun

Advantages: Fun, unique gameplay, relaxing but engaging
Disadvantages: Controls can be awkward, especially navigating menus

...Being introduced to the concept of Viva Pinata is a weird experience. It is hard not to be sceptical about a game which is based around attracting Pinatas to your lovely garden, but this game proves why you should never judge a book by it's cover, and why you don't need to shoot anything to have fun in game. The concept is a simple one. You start with a small plot of land which you can landscape into a garden with the hopes of tempting the game's creatures, Pinatas, into your garden to raise and breed. It doesn't sound much but within minutes of playing you realise how much of your life you are going to loose trying to tempt that elusive Pinata into your garden. Graphics and Presentation Upon loading the game you are introduced to the game by colourful singing Pinatas claiming the game is 'filled with fun' which pretty...

Viva Pinata

Advantages: Addictive, fun
Disadvantages: Lots of hand-holding, too much stuff going on early in the game

...Why would a man want to go out and buy a game which feature cute little animals, gardening, and shopping for hats and jewellery? Why would an adult want to go out and buy a game which has Pokemon "gotta catch 'em all" syndrome, cartoon graphics, and a plot on a level with The Tweenies? Why would anyone at all want to go out and buy a game by Rare, who haven't created anything decent since they wrote N64 titles? The answer is, of course, because Viva Pinata is almost certainly the best game for the Xbox 360 right now. You don't even have to look past the childishness and cartoonery to see it. As soon as your first pinata visits your garden, you're hooked. Ten minutes later turns into three hours later. The game teases you by giving you a glimpse of a new pinata, and you think "oh! I'll just get that one, then turn it off", little...

Viva Pinata

Advantages: Great Game
Disadvantages: Bit Childish

...Viva Piñata Introduction Viva piñata was first introduced to the market in 2006, on the Xbox 360 platforms. After a few successes at E3, it has gone from strength to strength, and is now one of the leading family games on the market. However, do not be fooled, it is not just for children and is also for adults, I am in my mid teens and I still quite like it, but it isn't a talking point? Welcome to Piñata Island, it is now your job to become the greatest gardener the world has ever seen, grow the plants, and attract new piñata by any means necessary, and when you get a call from piñata central you know that you are well on your way. Graphics The graphics on Viva Piñata are absolutely fantastic; it incorporates the colour that would appeal to the younger genet ration, with logical colours that could be seen as educational...
