Viva Pinata

Actually fun!

User Rating: 7.5 | Viva Pinata X360

When I first heard about this game, I thought it would be the single worst game on the 360. But after some good reviews I gave it a try...and I'm very glad I did.

Good:
Simple controls
Fun game play
Colorful graphics
Good sound
Freedom to do whatever in your garden

Bad:
Some pinatas are annoying
SLOW LOAD TIMES - this is a biggie with how often you will use the menus
Occasional errors that will freeze up your console, this is the only game I have that has frozen my 360...and I play a lot of games.

Overall, this is a fun game to play, and a good game when you get frustrated with some other particularly difficult game (or for me, when I am on a loosing streak in Halo 3)
