Quirky graphics, quirky game. ‘Viva Piñata’ is a game oriented towards kids but might just have enough quirkiness to go well with some adults too.
If you have ever played any of the ‘Sims’ games by maxis (particularly ‘Sim Safari’) you should be mildly familiar with this concept. You have a world, and you are to make it large and abundant with lots of critters.
The piñata’s are literally creatures that come visit your world, if they like what they see, they stay. There is a food chain involved (yes, apparently piñata’s eat one another), and environments that need to be considered. With 60 different piñata’s it may take a while to get them all to visit and stay.
The game may end up being too complex for kids to take full advantage of due to the many options the player has available to attract piñata’s his or her world. While it seems to be marketed so specifically at younglings it may well be the case it is a more ‘kids of all ages’ game. Well is it? Difficult to tell, all I can say so far is that it seems to be targeted solely at kids. We’ll see when it is released.
