I think that this game was a decent rent. Don't be fooled by the kiddish look and plain stupid look, this game is pretty fun. Though I didn't play this game long because for some reason my save didn't work so I didn't bother to start a new one I still got a good idea of the game.

This game is just like the older version, but with new pinata, features, plants and others. The game was pretty fun, definitely something to rent, not buy. I say this because you will have fun with it for a week or two, but you will get bored of it fast because after a while you will find that the game is kind of like a cycle.

You see a new amazing, exotic, etc. pinata. You follow all the procedures to get it sucking up your time. And you finally get it and romance it to make money. You then save up for something and get it. And it just goes on for a while until you start to get tired of it. Don't get me wrong though, this game is more fun than the above makes it sound, but when you look back you realize its all the same.

It is pretty addicting and will steal your time before you know it. So if you liked the old one, then I would recomend this one and if you haven't tried it, just go for it and see what you get out of it.

This isn't realy a reveiw just my personal experience. Your play time will most likely be diffrent then mine. Overall an engaging game that will have you sucked in for awhile.

I must say I like these types of games. (The sims, animal crossing, ect) I like games that have no real end to them. You make your own goals and the more you play the game the more outrageous your goals become. After awhile I strived for the perfect garden. Filled with my favorite cutesy pinatas, trees, and flowers.

After getting to level 41 you stop unlocking new items in the stores and are giving the title of Ultimate Gardener. There were still pinata to be discovered but I began to lose focus in the game. I had made my "perfect garden" and felt I was done with the game. There was still alot to do, But after reaching this far into the game it just felt too shallow. My interest in continuing was lost. My total time with the game was atleast a dozen hours. It's an enjoyable game for almost anyone. Deffently worth a rent.

Honestly I did actually like this game, I played it for about a day and enjoyed it but in the long run isn't my type of game. I had no desire to play it again not because it was bad, but because that gameplay didn't interest me. You raise these Pinata's, you catch them, feed them, build more land for more of them, etc. It was fun in all but I couldn't see myself putting any more time into it then a test run.

I reccomend this for the Casual Gamer, For Kids, SERIOUSLY PARENTS! Keep away the Call of Duty and Gears of War 2 away from your 9 year old, and get them this.
