When a game grabs you so well you can't put it down you know you are playing something quality. I did not think I would enjoy Viva Pinata as much as I have, being a Gears of War, blood loving, hardcore gamer. But the way they pull the gamer into the word is unheard of in "E" rated games these days. In most cases publishers rely on getting Spong-Bob to make their games attractive to younger players, or using some other silly character. There is no licensing in Pinatas which is why the game plays so much better than those "other" titles. If you like a good solid game and don't mind "cute" little animals, give Viva Pinata a try.
