Your Viva Pinata experience?

BUY IT.  Basically, you start out with a rundown garden full of junk and you need to fix it up to attract pinata.  It's very easy to play and it is paced perfectly.  It starts out kind of holding your hand and eventually lets you go and do what you want with the garden, and the overall experience becomes extremely addictive.  The art-style/graphics are great (some of the best on the 360 IMO), the music is very good, and the gameplay is a whole lot of fun.  I say buy it.
 

lol. I'd so hit all the pinatas with a baseball bat or something. Smack the candy out of them. XD

Seriously, there's a good chance I might kill someone if the Chewnicorn doesn't become a resident, cheeky B***** eats about 10 gems then leaves, comes back and does it again meaning the resident requirements aren't filled!TarmacChris

no its worse you have to be a master horstacio breeder and you have to have a gem tree, and the only way i know to get it from mining it. then it has to eat 10 gems... a big feat

I'm kinda interested in the building of the garden part.  Is it like SimCity where you lay down where you want things?  Brown52

Porbably.. I went to best buy wanting to play the Viva Pinata demo, but I found out it was just some interactive borefest, and not "actual demo".. Do I want this guy to talk or this guy, NO I WANT TO PLAY THE GAME XDArisShadows

Don't worry, the eating builds.  It doesn't have to happen in one go.

Is Viva Pinata worth a buy?  Please only respond if you've actually played it.  I'm only skeptical because I worry that the game wont have the depth that I'm hoping it will.  Can someone give me a general run down on the gameplay and if its deep enough to keep me playing for a few weeks?

If you like Animal Crossing or the Sims, then sure.

It has that whole "Playing House" with Video game characters....also, if you like dolls.

I think it's okay, but my GIRL likes it a bit more. Still, I don't like those kind of THE SIMS and Animal Crossing gameplay, to each his own. 

Bill Gates said the game was for GIRLS also, just so you know. I mean we knew, but he confirmed it for those that didn't figure it out, I suppose.

It's kiddy and lacks depth.SolidTy

It was alright for me to rent, but I don't think I will buy it.JamesHirst

Too late.

The OP already did buy it.

HE was craving a good single player game and he owns a 360, so yeah, he was starved.

HE seems pleased though, as the bar he was looking for to be topped was 360 ONLY.

[QUOTE="SolidTy"]It's kiddy and lacks depth.bluebrad1974

Well, it is for girls, so I guess I didn't dig that OR the slow, slow pace.

Hehehe.

That was for comedic purposes.

It is honestly a great game for what it sets out to be, just not my style.

The whole Popular Animal Crossing thing I didn't like either, nor do I like THE Sims, or the Sims 2, but I know those are million sellers, so I know that they aren't bad games, just not for me.

I dig stuff like Okami, Zelda, ZOE, Onimusha, Gears, Lunar Knights, Resistance, Metal Gear, Final Fantasy, KOTOR, etc.

Hold it. It doesnt matter what Billy Gates says or what other people think of you. The game might be "girly" int he sense that it was aimed at a female population. However, playing it doesnt make you any less of a man. and the fact that it is intended for females doesnt mean you cannot like it. Now that we are clear. I understand that you didnt like it just by seeing your list of favorite games. I do like Viva, and I had never played a game like that before. So I guess now I am gonna try to broad my horizons and see if there are other things that I was afraid to try that I might end up liking. But yeah, I like playing Viva with my gf as much as I do it alone. Next time she offers me to read one of her horrible drama books, I will make it to chapter 2 before droping it.

I didnt want to try it after I saw that terrible cartoon but now I'm intrigued.

That cartoon was for marketing, but Micorsoft got too greedy and didn't hire good enough talent.I saw it too, it was lame.

the game is good, even if it is for girls though.

Bill gates is a girly man, and he thinks it's for girls, so what does that make me? Well, I have always been more sensitive to my sisters and mom's feelings, so that does make sense.
