(More customer reviews)The most oft-repeated phrase in any review for "Viva Pinata" is that it's "not just for kids." This is not without good reason. While the packaging and overall feel of the game is as bright and shiny as a candied marble and is specifically designed to draw kids in, the gameply is consistently entertaining and is challenging enough to daunt any experienced adult gamer...
I'd even go so far as to say that this is one of the most original and interesting games to come along in years. It's rare that I become so engrossed in what's going on in a given game that hours pass, seemingly, with speed of a blink of an eye- but such has been the case, since I installed Viva Pinata.
Now- a word of caution: I'm running the game on a dual 3.1 GHZ system with a Radeon 512 MB 3d accellerator, and the game automatically put my graphic preferences at the lowest level, when I started it up. I manually changed things to medium, which resulted in a very pleasing improvement in graphics. However, my system now routinely ratchets up to overdrive, during play. One can only assume that you need a pretty hot system to view the game in its full glory. That having been said, the game plays smoothly as silk, and lacks the lags during autosave that have been a bane to Xbox gamers.
In closing, I heartily reccommend VP. To those gamers who reject this game because of the "cute factor," I can only say:
It must suck to be you...
