Features:
| Quote: | » Customizable. “Viva Piñata” allows players’ imaginations to run wild by providing them with expansive freedom and choice:
» Your world. Your choice of contents will determine which of the piñata species are attracted to your world, since they all have individual requirements. Sowing grass, digging ponds, planting flowers and growing trees all affect which of the unique piñatas you will see. It’s not just about plants, either; there is a whole range of ornaments and structures that could be decisive. Your reward for creating an appealing paradise is to watch the piñatas visit and eventually reside there, which is where the fun really starts
» Your piñatas. Once you have resident piñatas, you can begin to personalize your loyal community. Piñatas can be individually named and given their own personally designed tag to put on display as a declaration of their home turf. And the customization doesn’t end there. You can make the colorful critters more distinctive by customizing them with all kinds of costumes and accessories.
» Social. The “Viva Piñata” 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 piñata world via Xbox Live, the first and only global, unified online console games service.
» Interact with the piñatas. Getting to know and understand the personalities and requirements of your piñatas is essential if you want them to stay happy and thrive. Make your world their ideal paradise, and they’ll want to raise a family and expand your community
» 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 Piñata” is a constantly changing world where anything can and does happen |

Is this supposed to be something like Creatures, wich by the way never really worked as advertised with the whole learning experience of the norns and their AI?
Is the demo worth checking out?

It feels a lot like a blend of a real-time strategy games and The Sims, with a little Animal Crossing thrown in for good measure. - teamxbox gave it a 8.4 .

There's a demo? Cool. Might try that. The release is late.
May the NFOrce be with you always.

No don't fall for it, the demo is just an "interactive" video... just tutorials.
But yeah I can't wait for this game to get released... it's been on store shelves since 3-4 days ago, so I don't know why it's taking so long when GoW pretty much got released instantly and CoD3 was even early.
And whoKnows, the game is nothing like creatures. You don't 'teach' the animals anything, it's more of a strategy sim game.

I wish there was a realtime demo because the game is a graphical feat. Though teamxbox complained about frequent stuttering because of autosaving (damn Rare why'd ya do that!)

I hear they're not that bad really. Like reaching a checkpoint in Halo... it's only like a second anyway.

Why not? I´m 23 and i still enjoy games like Spyro, Super Mario and more. I don´t think over use of violence makes a game more mature.

if a game is good it's just good, it's easier with good games to enjoy a game that doesnt even really target your age or genre preferences.

Graphics aside, if you read the previews and reviews you'll learn that it is in fact a very deep game with tons of stuff to do.

Ditto, i still think kameo is the best launch title graphically, and gameplay wise, worth playing if you haven't already done so.

Its a pretty cool game. Certainly not for everyone but I lost 3 hours of my life to it last night. Definitely feels like a bit of Animal Crossing and a bit of Harvest Moon.
May the NFOrce be with you always.

It feels like a Dungeon Keeper for next-gen.
