Viva Piñata (Platinum Family Hits)

At first, I was quickly getting tired of this game. Now I am hopelessly addicted! It's a surprisingly complicated family-friendly game. This is a game where you must plan and set up the perfect environment for a particular Piñata species, and then move on to the next. This is an Xbox 360 game from 2006, and the graphics hold up surprisingly well. The soundtrack is also really nice. I recommend getting the guide since this game is pretty complicated and there are a lot of secrets.

I originally purchased this game when it was first released for the Xbox 360. At the time the only games in my household were FPS and I really wanted a FAMILY game. Turned out that I was the only one playing it at the time since everyone thought it was too childish at the time. Seriously who harvested a garden of pinatas? I didn't listen to them and continued playing, I would play once I got home from work and sometimes usually until after midnight. Took me a lot of hours but I was able to get all the pinatas and beat the game 100% and become a level 80 something gardener. Now fast forward almost 5 years later and my 16yr old daughter who is a tried and true Call of Duty fan picked up the game and started playing and also got addicted. My now 7 year old who plays family games saw her playing and wanted to play as well. Thus the reason for another purchase. Since I still have it on my profile I was able to send the kids tons of cash and even seeds and animals to help out with their garden.The game is totally addicting once you start playing. It's a 2 player game but the 2nd player is just a helper and not the main gardener. Its a great family game and I'd recommend you keep this one in your collection.

Excellent 2 player 10 and under game for kids. Good role play and easy to use fun for entertainment with lots of easy gardening tips and tricks for young who don't have actual garden skills. I found it amusing for my grand daughter and I to compete with our gardens.. saved each time she visited she wanted to play with this game. Great colors and well thought out Game of strategy and even a 3 year old could have fun on this game. EASY GAME. The SOUNDS ARE EXCELLENT and cute critter sounds too! I highly recommend this game for kids unless you don't like the idea of animals or bugs dying .. it does require skills and knowledge of mating, animal carnivore and purchasing power to make the level of the game increase in challenge. But if you don't like these kinds of ideas for kids then you might not like this game. Very innocent type of violence to swat a predatory critter.

I bought this game in like new condition and it arrived on time and as expected. The game runs well on my Xbox 360 and I am back to playing one of my favorite games. I could not ask for anything more.

I was a little concerned this would be too young but when it arrived, my kids weren't home so I tried it myself. At first my fears were realized, as it has a very young feel to it, but once I started working on my garden I really enjoyed it and played for hours. My kids arrived home and soon each had created their own garden. They will play for ages. The graphics are very good and the effects - like a drop of water on the camera lens are really cute. There is skill in keeping a good garden, free of pests and the kids learn they have to work to attract exotic pinatas to their garden. I gave it a 4 because I am now a little bored with it myself and for a 5 it would have to keep me entertained too [smile] but since the kids still love it, it is well worth the $20.

I am 20 years old, and this game still amazes me. I finally bought it from Amazon after constant badgering from friends, and I am very pleased with it.The game has wonderful graphics, crisp and clean images (even on a standard-definition TV) and a bright and cheerful environment (most of the time, sometimes it rains - that's life!).If you have an Xbox 360 and younger childeren, this is a must have. There is a ton of fun to be had while building and bettering your garden, attracting and naming pinata-animals, constucting homes, and more. There is even some strategy involved (If you want it) as it is important to use your garden space to create value efficiently.A quick note - Dont let your kids (or yourself) get to attatched to the animals in your garden, because they will be, occasionally, broken apart and/or eaten (Its all just part of the circle of life!!)Great fun that never runs out and is suitable for the whole family.

This game is really funky. I bought this game to my little brother and he loved it. It may not be the most action packed game but its curious and fun in a addicting kinda of way. You start out as a gardner raising pinatas and move up to being a master gardner. The reason its addicting is when you start making the pinatas "romance" which is really funny you get into it and can't really stop. Overall this game is fun, but its not action every second and has sorta of a storyline, so anyone looking for a game for kids or just an easy game (which gets pretty hard actually) this is the game for you.

Wasn't expecting much for how cheap it was, maybe just a disk in an envelope. Seller included original case, plastic sleeve, instructions, and even bonus disk that was originally sold together. Totally shocked and worthy of my review. Will definitely recommend purchasing from this seller

one of my all time favorite games.. i love it so much, i bought this one as a "back up copy" ;)
