Surprise, Viva Pinata is actually really GOOD!

When the heck did it come out?!

Link to 1up review

Seriously, it was so quiet...from a game that MS hyped as an important one to round up its selection.

Anyway, the editor' s pretty much loved it (solid 9.0/10)

User rating is a 8.9

Basically, it fulfills what it set out to do, and people should be expecting Animal Crossing, not Halo, from it like SOME gamers it seems, insist on doing.

Also, as quoted, a return to form for Rare.

Dads are going to love this thing because, finally, we have a really good Xbox 360 game that they can play during the day, in front of the kids, without being worried about blood oozing down the screen after a juicy chainsaw kill. Microsoft and Rare may have just invented a new classification: " parent-friendly."

Apparently, ADULTS would enjoy this way more than kids?! Stranger and stranger!

Btw, the environments ARE pretty stunning I give Rare that!

Bizzare quotations (' horny' is in it!):

As you force Whirlms 27 and 28 to breed for the last time, before sacrificing them to the coffers, it dawns on you. Wait...Sparrowmints like to eat Whirlms, don' t they? So much so that it makes them horny. If you breed the little wrigglers as food, you can feed them to the birds, get them to mate and sell their offspring for three times the profit! Wait...is that evil? Who cares?!

LOL they won' t slap on a kiddie sticker on a 360 for a game like this.

Pointless now i guess.

Well finally Rare deliver i guess, When was there last bonafide hit? On the N64? Gee wiz i can' t even remember if they made GC games.

Is it good??

Hmmm. I may pick it up, only because my 6 and 5 year old cousin are constantly
over now, and I have been instructed to keep them away from the chainsaw..

Also, something for my sister to play.

There are two rules to success:

1. Never tell all you know.

Read the new quote above XD

It' s damn funny! You have to sell off your pinatas, feed off some of them; or in the case of this review-guy, he boxed up his ' Whirlms' and made them into a concentration camp to breed over and over again to sell them off; since selling Pinatas is the only source of income.

Trippy. I already asked the guy at EB Games if I could take home the gigantic talking cardboard cutout of the " Original Parr-Tayy Annnieeemalll!"

Those who have seen it will get the joke.
