Viva Pinata addictive!

[Steven W]

It's getting serious, the missus is loving this far too much, but so am I! Now it's causing a few problems over who owns the garden and whose turn it is next.

We'll have a review up tomorrow, but I guess you already know my opinion!

[SmileyUK]

at least you get a turn

i must admit, its a very clever little game

[Parm]

I can't wait to get my hands on this one!

[Digerati]

Not had chance to play it yet - but everyone i speak to is ranting and raving about it!
360 Really does have some good games out now

[steve threlfall]

I want this one. The e3 trailer looked great. So many great games now

I had a dabble of this game the other day @ Carl's and it is bizarrely really addictive.

This game is awesome!

Limited edition game is a bit lame though, packaging looks cheap compared to the normal packaging! The extras are sparse too, just a few demos. Luckily, I got it cheaper than it would've cost me to get the normal game

lol i really want the game after reading that good review.

Have to ask tho, isnt it a wrong to sell babies on the black market so you can buy a new bench or plant?!?!

must...stop...playing

This is the first day I've had this game and I've almost got the 10 hour achievement already! :S

Discovered a bit of an annoying achievement bug though, instead of buying the tin watering can I went straight for the gold one, and after buying the glass one from the beggar (I'm assuming this one is the best one since it seems to have infinite water) I got no achievment, and can't go back and buy the tin one as it's sold out :S

Ahh, that explains that then. I think the same happened for me, I wondered why i didn't get the achievement. I presumed there must be one that is better than the gold one?

How much money have you had to give teh beggar before he turns into a trader?

[Veles]

Ah I've just found out the one I've got isn't the top watering can. Theres the two available from Costalot, then the Beggar sells 3 more as you get higher ranks. The first Beggar can has an infinte supply of water, the second one of his will put the flower at optimium water-level with one sprinkle (you can keep sprinkling it and it will never drown), and I think the third one, you sprinkle a plant once and you'll never have to water it again.

To get the beggar to turn into a trader you need to give him 1000 coins in one go (not added up with previous donations). Hes got some really nice stuff on him at higher levels so it's deffinitely worth it.

The graphics on this game are just stunning, all of the pinatas are really bright and vibrant, and art style of the landscape, scenery and characters is just awesome IMO. Really loving this game ATM.

BTW have you learnt the trick of having more than one garden at once? Since some pinatas don't get along together and always fight, it's a good idea to split them up between gardens (when you start a new one you retain all of your ranks and stuff) and then mail stuff between yourself as you need it.

I saw this advertised somewhere, and was instantly put off by the childish looking title and screenies without even knowing what the gameplay was about. After reading the review, I shouldn't judge a book by its cover! Strikes me as a Wii-esque games that I can just pick up and play, just what I'm after!
