Microsoft and Rare released an "interactive video" of Viva Pinata on the Marketplace. The interactivity is limited to choosing a character between 2 three times, so in the end we get 1+6 videos showing some gameplay I've assembled in one.
For me, Viva Pinata is one of the most anticipated games in a very long time. I have followed its development since announcement and I think it looks and plays fantastic. I see a lot of people negging about this game on forums. Things like "This is childish" and "Rare has lost their skills". Its most individual what games you like. Some of you want to kill stuff, some of you want to micromanage, some of you want to cry over a RPG. Maybe a combination.
I think that Viva Pinata has a very interesting gameplay and the graphics looks just stunning. If you think this is a childish game I say you are prejudice. Well now I have said mine. Guess you have to be European to like these kind of games. You americans just want to kill and destroy. (prejudice)
I'm definitely buying this game. It strikes at the core of what makes Nintendo's games so fun.
They don't take themselves too seriously, but there is a deeper aspect to the game for people that wish to go that path. I think this is a really good game and the closest to a Unique Nintendo like game as we'll get on the 360.
I wouldn't be too surprised if this game is a hit during the holiday season.
It looks very nice and fun to play, just to bad the kids in my country (Netherlands) don't even know what a Pinata is.. Will probably only sell well in countries that do have that culture (Mexico, USA etc).. But maybe I'm wrong and it will also sell overhere..
i got to play this one yesterday for quite a long time and have access to it for about a week and i enjoyed it. there were very few women around yesterday at this event, but they almost all congregated around the viva pinata consoles and played that, more than even the casual games.
i really enjoyed it and Gears of War.
i could make some videos but the quality wouldn't match blimblims and i'm not sure i could get to a point to show you anything that isn't in all the other videos.
