Description

People of all ages will enjoy the vibrant world where they can create and customize their own environment to attract, tame and nurture more than 60 species of wild pinata and make their experience uniquely their own. Packed with hundreds of personalization options, “Viva Pinata” lets people name their pinatas, choose accessories for them to wear, decide where to plant grass and flowers, and more. The colorful, fully customizable game invites people into a world with all kinds of possibilities.

“Viva Pinata” gameplay will be extended through the Xbox Live® online entertainment network. Xbox Live Gold subscribers will be able to connect with friends, family or other players from around the globe to trade items from their pinata paradise — everything from the smallest plant to the largest pi�ata. Players with the free Xbox Live Silver membership also can trade items. And Xbox Live will offer accessories for download into the game to personalize pinata collections.

Features

Social. The “Viva Pinata” community is a rewarding place to be, whether you remain within the boundaries of your own world or venture out into the real world or your friend’s pi?ata world via Xbox Live, the first and only global, unified online console games service.

Interact with the pinatas. Getting to know and understand the personalities and requirements of your pinatas is essential if you want them to stay happy and thrive.
Interact with the characters. Players decide how much help they want from the local guides, shopkeepers and work force. Go it alone or get them involved — you choose
Interact with other players online. Via the Xbox Live online community, players can contact other gamers to lend a hand, lay down a competitive challenge or trade items.

Spontaneous. “Viva Pinata” is a constantly changing world where anything can and does happen:

It’s happening outside. It’s not just new pinata species that are drawn to your world; untamed sour pinatas with bad attitudes and troublemaking ruffians do their worst to spoil your creation and must be dealt with.
It’s happening inside. Maintaining harmony within a growing community isn’t always easy when rivalries, illness, injuries and even candy-spilling fights occur. If players turn their backs, who knows what their pinatas will do?
