Came in great condition sealed in plastic. The kids just love the book. It really helps in figuring out the game and more details on all the Pinatas.
Some guide books can ruin the experience of a game by providing you every step that you should be taking, this book on the other hand becomes that ultimate game manual that you never had. You can easily glance through the book and if you see a piñata you like, you can see all the prerequisites that go into attracting it and getting them to stay, plus any of the extra color variations of them you can obtain. The book also makes it a whole lot easier to go buy items when you can look right in the book and know the cost and variations before you even head to the village to shop. As far as game guides go this is one of the most complete I have encountered. So grab yourself the Piñata bible and go out there and get gardening. It's not laid out as a walkthrough, but rather as an encyclopedia of sorts. It makes a great book to have handy when you are sitting there and playing. Because Viva Piñata is so open-ended, it makes this layout the best method.
You control the pets, take care of them and protect them from the bad pinatas in hopes of creating secret pets and luring newer and better pets in to your gardens. A cut scene shows the pinatas do a variety of world dances to the appropriate music. It has it's childish moments, it's bright colors, cute little pinatas running around and funny noises; but there really is no substitute to the kind of gaming enjoyment this game will provide.
Basically two pinatas are looking for love, you get them together, play a mini game. I only mention this because I don't want parents complaining that no one warned them that the game may cause little Timmy or Janie to ask questions about where babies come from. Upon successful completion of the mini game the pinatas do a dance.literally.
But found that this game is fun for all ages. I wouldn't feel bad recommending this game to my friends or allowing my 5 year old child to play.The only thing I would like to warn the parents about that may be thinking about giving this to their kids is the pets are able to reproduce and create little pinatas that are delivered as eggs to the loving parent pinatas. Regardless of that, I'd recommend this game for all ages.
It's kind of a SIMS crossed with the original cartoon. The features and pretty abundant and all add to the variety of game play allowed.
My son has been playing it for a while now and the progress has been steady, but slow. I was blown away by how much of this game is revealed, new challenged uncovered and objectives to look forward to.And Unlike the reviewer who thought this came out late.
It will add so much more replay value, renew interest in a game, almost removing a shroud. I think all Strategy Guides should come out a year or more post game release.
I will keep this review short and sweet. The first ever guide i get for any game (I'm 36 and i've been gaming since i was 6).Man did it change his life.
Interest in a game would be prolonged.And, as a bonus, my kid is actually forcing himself to read through the book, page by page.That alone is worth 5*s Many have covered the basics.Viva Pinata is not new.
I felt that he is starting to loose interest or at least, I'm starting to feel useless.So i decided to get this guide.
While a lot of this information is freely available on the web, I find having a book to flip through, more practical while playing the game. One can get quite far in the game by just paying attention, experimenting and luck; however, sometimes it's nice to have a reference when you want to attract a particular Pinata or produce a particular variation.
