When I first saw a video about viva pinata game. I thought it's a joke, it looked too for kids and boring. Year later, when I got my 360(this december :D) I got the bundle what had viva pinata+forza 2+racing wheel in it. When I started playing, I couldn't stop playing, it was too addictive! You start in a viva garden what is full of junk and no grass. You'll meet with a lot of characters like Leafos( the character who gives the shovel and grass grover), shop seller, guy who gives seeds, builder and so on. When you play for some time, you will have a lot of pinatas roaming around your garden. Eventually there will come bad pinatas who eat and attack your pinatas, and there will be pinatas who will come or become residents when they eat a certain pinata. You will unlock bigger gardens, shovel upgrades and get more chapters about the best pinata gardener.
Graphics are really really good, pinatas look great, backround looks great, you will see seed guy or pinatas on backround, moving.
