Viva Pinata is a surprisingly good game based on tending a garden so that you can collect and breed different types of Pinata. A bit slow at first, it basically becomes a "romancing" fest to get points. You can breed the first type of Pinata over and over again and complete the game in 5-12 hours, depending on how much you breed.
It becomes a bit more fun when you try to collect all the Pinatas in the game, taking an additional 10 hours. After a while the game becomes seriously repetitive and boring. The multiplayer is nothing to shout about either, allowing 2 or more people to control the same cursor, inevitably causing arguments.
Overall, its a cute and colourful game that gives well over 1000 gamerpoints but lets down due to its short game span and crap multiplayer.
