Don't make the same mistake twice! If you overlooked the original you *cannot* overlook Trouble in Paradise!

User Rating: 9 | Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise X360
Under-appreciated. That is how I would describe Viva Pinata. It was the game that everyone judged by its cover and for those of us who decided to give it a go we were treated to one of the best kept secrets of 2006.

2008 sees the sequel hit the shelves and I have to say that it has been well worth the wait. There is so much to like about Trouble in Paradise it is hard to summarise in anything less than a full blown write up but I will highlight a few of the things that impressed me:

Quick access to your seeds and fertilizer via the seed bag/fertilizer bag shortcut(d-pad left a few times).

Pengums! (Penguins rock - it is common knowledge!)

Much more challenging mating maze mini-game.

Region-free!

If you didn't pick up VP1 then you have got to pick up VP2! It offers the same deep, captivating gameplay of the original with a ton of extra content and improvements making Trouble in Paradise a definite keeper.
