I thought the game was for kids, and that it belonged on the Wii. I dont know how anyone who is a 360 owner can actually like that crap. I mean the TV show is on YTV for Buddha's sake.

i didnt like the game, until i suffered through about 10 horus of it. its one of those games i keep just for the 15-20 minute waits for the wife, and sometimes i have found myself playing for 4 hours. i either love it or hate it depending on my mood. it is definately not for everyone as it is really shildish. especially the mating games....blah so lame. but it still has that underlying fun once in awhile.

Because, for once, it doesn't contain blood gore and violence it immediatly is a childish game?
Ever heard of the term'for everyone'?

I didnt dislike it because it seemed childish, I just disliked it because ofthe pace and there didnt seem to be any substance to what I was doing. :P

Viva Pinata was great! I can't believe that you dislike a game because it's not an adult game.

It is not that I disliked it but it does lead you to frustration sometimes. There is some repetitive moments throughout the game. But it is a satisfying game for younger ones and games like this are needed to calm the many violent games on the market. Each has it place.

i didn't like it for 3 reasons. too repetitive, seemed frustrating, and the fact that it's a money maker based (or created, i'm not sure) off a kids tv show. who else is sick of cgi animal stories?

Well I bought the game because it looked stupid!!! I though it would be funny to see the reaction of people on my Live list look at my tag like I am crazy. Me and another friend of mine did this then it turned out to be addictive and fun to some degree. I'm more into hack and slash games but it is nice to have something that my nephews and neices can play along with me and feel like I will be raising an axe murderer.

Care to explain the logic behind that?

[sarcasm] There's no blood so it's a kids game,heaven forbid that microsoft have any family based game on their console.[/sarcasm]

Anyway, I liked itbecause it's well made, and just differant to anything else available.

I have two games that I am trying/did try to play;Viva Pinata and Bioshock. I saw great qualities in both games, but just can't seem to get myself involved.

Yep, he's right. He's the definition of an xbox owner so none of us can like Viva Pinata.

Its not bad but the controls are hopeless the garden (even the largest) is too small, and the Pinatas just constantly at each others throats. And the Ruffians are so damn annoying! I made all my money growing weeds though :D

VP didn't do for me either. I tried really hard to like it and spent a good 20 hours on itbut Icouldn't take it anymore. To me it's really geared towards females.

The game was for kids SO it belonged on the Wii... Talk about a narrowminded person.

I really enjoyed the game, it was something different, no shooting, no blood, just some little gore. The visuals were pretty fun , and the upgrades and new foes always kept me interested.

It's not for Super Macho, Tough A$$, Hardcore, Violence Addicted people though.

Aside from there being no violence swearing or blood, the other elements that make it a kids game is that DUUUUH its based on a childrens TV SHOW! Or how about the fact that your a friggin cutesy animal PINATA throughout the friggin game making friends with other pinatas.

The game is obviously for everyone no doubt, but its generally targeted towards kid. From a marketing logic, the creators of the CHILDRENS TV SHOW thought there would be money to make off of it's viewers had they released a video game version of it. Were they wrong? Obviously not, so don't go all crazy just because the truth hurts.

Ok, now it's obvious that you, LivingReceiver, are FULL OF IT because you NEVER PLAYED THE GAME. I've read carefully because I have some misgivings about the game too, but you have not once mentioned any GAMEPLAY aspect of the game, just what you think it is.

As someone that has played the game for a decent amount of time, I, a 33 year old MAN, have found that the game is far, FAR too difficult for 'children'. Sure, it's marketed to them like you stated, but its also FAR deeper than I ever imagined. In fact, I've taken a recent break from it (called Halo 3) because when I thought I was doing good and getting far, I hadn't scraped the surface of it.

Truth is the game is truly for EVERYONE (meaning all ages) because it has a different appeal for kids (characters and colorful look; TV show) and adults (deeeeeep gameplay and challenge). The sad part is that you, most likely still a 'kid' yourself, are so judgmental about something you know so little about that you feel you'd have to come on this board and attack it the way you have. That's just not M for Mature ...

I might've liked it if I hadnt seen the TV show first. The showis so annoying that I couldnt possibly bring myself to play the game even though I only heard good things about it.

i think the game in the later parts are a little difficult for small children. there are some tougher achievements. ANd the fact is, is that there are ALOT more older people playing this game then little kiddies.

dont make up facts cause you were wrong, and the Truth is hurting you.

Game was amazing, The only really bad thing about Viva Pinata is there does not seem there will be a sequal that will improve on the game.

The game only has a bad reputation because all these men who just are not secure enough to play a colorful fun game they think is for girls and guys. It is the same guys who refuse to wear pink even though I know many women who like men wearing pink shows confidance and it is a good light color to wear.

Anways poor little pinata no expasion no sequal. So no pinata sharks or penguins in my near future it seems.

Viva Pinata is a great game and ingenious in a lot of ways.

I go through spurts when it comes to Viva. I'll play it intensly for 3 days, but stop and play Gears, Halo, BioShock, or Orange box for the next 3 months. Then play Viva intensely for 3 days. etc...

It's a great game, but it gets over-shadowed by some of the other ones out there.

it was extremely addictive at first but it does become repetitive and it's a bit mundane keeping your pinatas happy, it's not really my cup of tea but it's a well executed game nonetheless.

I think it is quite fun for short periods of time, also when I first got it and it was just something new and awesome. I wouldn't want to spend $60 on it (I got it for $20) ,but it is still something new and fun. I'm more of a shooter/action/rpg guy. Can't wait for Lego SW: The Complete Saga though I loved the first two. Also looking forward to Mass Effect and Assassin's Creed they all look soooo good. I :D November!!!

The question is who liked Vive Pinata

I loved it see above for my full comments on it. Though I respect if it is just not the game for you I mean at times I get to mad at it from my pinata's eating each other or similar such things killing my pinata's.

However I hate when people are just judging it because it is a childs game(To stressful to be for a kid I think), or a girls game, did not know girls had there own genre,Time to get to work on a new campaign of Womens suffrage for video games it seems like then.

Although true, doesn't change the fact that it's a stupid book. It's just a twist on The Sims. Targeted to children & deserving of the Wii. To each his own.

I have to disagree with TC. I love Viva Pinata. It is well made, fun and terribly addictive. I logged over sixty hours on my garden. The only shortfall of the game is that it is too complicated for the casual gamer to have a successful garden - that's why my wife never got into it. Perhaps they could have had a mode with a less complex hierarchy or requirement system.

Something different you automatically hate it. Viva Pinata was a fun and simple game. Didnt need twitch relexes didnt need to kill anything besides ruffians lol. I found it a very relaxing and fun game. It gave me a break from all the high action and such games i play. I dont regret buying it at all. Viva Pinata is definetly a gem and sticks out in my collection and i am proud.
