It may sound twee but its ability to addict is far more powerful than its cutesy graphics suggest.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eThe lowdown:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike most first party Xbox games this is not an action game, but a gentler, more family friendly, simulation in the tradition of Animal Crossing. The basic premise is that you have a plot of land that you can turn from an overgrown mess into a beautiful garden. In so doing it will attract a range of 60 different piñatas who, depending on how you treat them, will then decide to live there. For something as simple as a piñata worm you just have to have a patch of earth for them to play in but other piñatas are a lot more demanding, while others first need to be tamed from their aggressive wild state.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eMost exciting moment:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot only can you accessorise your piñatas with items bought from Xbox Live Marketplace but you can also swap items and piñatas with other friends that own the game online.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eSince you ask:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eViva Piñata has been conceived as a Pokemon style cross media franchise from the off, with all kinds of toys and merchandise already planned, as well as a new 4Kids cartoon series.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eThe bottom line:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt last there’s an Xbox 360 game the whole family can play and enjoy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eHARRISON\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDENT\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Armchair Generals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59616197869854,"sku":null,"price":180.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0773\/8166\/5054\/files\/240_1_5eb248d9-d39a-43b8-9d1d-b9ecd37d233d.jpg?v=1784038438","url":"https:\/\/armchairgenerals.co.za\/products\/viva-pinata-xbox-306","provider":"Armchair Generals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
