Rare has updated the official site with four new images of Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise, which will be released in September this year exclusively on Xbox 360.
it wasn't a commercial success, but far from a sales flop... too complex for kids to play by themselves, maybe too kiddie looking ( 4Kids TV Show & all that jazz ) for some grown-ups, i guess.
But it's easy to see why this is a cheap sequel in the production aspect.
The bases are all built, just add extra depth, content, modes & fix the rough edges and there you go. New viva piñata ... why not? It's FABOLOUS!
i tried to get into the original, but i just couldnt due to the lack of missions/goals etc, i hate that, but this adds co-op, which should make it more fun even without objectives
Never played the first one but comparing them by the pictures thisone looks like it has biger and more open environments which makes it look a bit nicer graphical.

exactly dude gamers a to old to be playin this kiddi shit i would never play any of those games and dude the ass holes who comment on this shit should be shot
People who complain about games that are "just for kids" are usually the immature ones. People who ARE mature tend to not care if a game has a childish tone. But considering the first one had a lot of ineuendo and adult humour, claiming it's a game merely meant for kids is a little ridiculous.
If you're a twelve year old Sony fanboy, may I suggest you try the Gametrailers forums? You'll feel right at home there.
It's a lot more than just an add-on, the Pinata's are a lot more interactive now, they can apparantly all interact with each other in new ways, and are a lot more interactive with the player, each one being able to learn tricks. The gardens are a lot bigger and can have themes applied now, like the pirate or grave yard ones we saw in some of the shots, and as well as the day-night cycle, there's a seasonal cycle, which includes weather effects. Oh, and of course there's drop in/drop out co-op, a free play mode, challenege mode were you have to solve a series of goals, and a camera tool for taking pictures of the pinata's and uploading them (and then hopefully exporting them onto your PC..)
A lot of the new species of Pinata's were obviously just meant to be downloadable for the first game, but there's certainly a lot more here than just an add on :)

@nostradamus: Yes, Talos Principle is one of those overlooked gems of a game. For my 2nd play through I started it in VR using my Oculus, havn't got very far. I'd highly recommend it to any puzzle fan (1 Hour ago)

something? F. right off. no can do, mein Führer. (1 Hour ago)

some pacing and life. I don't mind the puzzle zones trigger some quiet time, all fine and dandy, but the awfull back and forth in the whole island withou a melodic sound? even crafted in the game or (1 Hour ago)
nostradamus
first thing i did for the "no music" The Witness was give a middle finger to Blow, and use MP3 or youtube to stream so classic composers, and give the dull game world (every one is dead how original) (1 Hour ago)
nostradamus
and its funny as hell how thsi game has some organ/gregorian chorus (picks up in the key moments) for the soundtrack. it's sublime (these are the dudes who made sesious sam?! L.o.l.) (1 Hour ago)
nostradamus
the dev's walking sim "now you get it" to appreciate a good puzzle. Still love The Witness, but i like direct simplicity more. (2 Hours ago)
nostradamus
it even has the whole Tetronimo thingy going on. its way more barebones (mixture of its own game or a mod even) but its a breath of fresh air to take a puzzle game that doesn't make you suffer through (2 Hours ago)
