Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

I love this game. Everything about it is remarkably addictive, though, so the only way I can retain sanity is the following formula:

1. Add it to my queue
2. Receive it and play it for two or three days.
3. Send it back in.
4. Repeat Step 1.

Yes, I literally have to do it that way. Otherwise I find myself staying up past reasonable hours, justifying it as "I really need to reach Master Romancer for Flapyak!" or some other silliness.

The art is stunning, really, and I love the addition of tricks. I am thrilled whenever I manage to hatch a wild card or twins, and I have fun just fillin' up my garden.

The game is also incredibly relaxing. I live in a city apartment, so I don't have any way to garden in real life - it's fun to raise my crops in game.

Okay. WAY too complicating for a kid. I'm 19 and this game baffled me. It had TOO many instructions, too much to remember and in the first level, became overwhelming. It's as cute as it can be, but being cute doesn't help play a game. One level, a critter that wasn't mine yet got sick on my property... you can't do anything with critters that aren't yours.. he just stayed in my way the entire level. If there was a way, I couldn't figure it out for anything. I gave it a 1 out of 10, 1 being worst. But that's only because I was going for a simple minded kids game.... I play too many stratigic shooter games. I reccomend this game for a little genius kid.
