Honestly, I think it doesn't even feel like the same game. Respawns sorta kill the desperate survival factor that makes the game feel so damn cool in the first place. Annex isn't a bad game mode, it just doesn't fit right with the Gears experience. That being said, however, I would rather have it in there than not.
Let's not drag the laws of physics into a game where 250+ lb men in 100+ lb armor slide 10 feet across concrete to plaster to objects in order to evade shotgun blasts that would somehow explode them and their armor into hundreds of little gooey bits.
Viva offers just enough challenge to keep you interested, but not so much as to be frustrating. I love shooters, but goshdammit sometimes I just need some good colorful fun to balance it out. Viva Pinata is just the game for that.
