Viva Pinata (Limited Edition) Xbox 360 Viva Pinata Is Overall Quite A Good Game As Long As You Dont Over Play It , My Neice Had The Game For 4 Days Before She Became Fed Up Of The Game And Decided To Trade It In; However That Does Not Mean That The Game Was Over In That Time As There Is So Much To Do And Lots Of Species O Pinata To Collect.

Viva Piñata is a game for the Xbox 360, which despite its child like appearance and silly concept in fact caters for a wide audience, something which I experience first-hand.
