    The game is so charming that the gameplay doesn’t feel particularly repetitive. The visual style is gorgeous, the ‘romance dance’ for each type of piñata is clever and imaginative, and there’s some great music here too, in a range of styles that won’t have you reaching for the mute button any time soon.

    While the Windows for Live process has been poorly implemented across the board for these new Microsoft PC titles, the addictive nature of Viva Piñata will delight people of all ages and keep you pecking away at the keyboard to mate your newly acquired species of Piñata.

    The overriding feeling you'll get from Viva Piñata is one of depth.

    The PC version of Viva Piñata is every bit as enjoyable as the Xbox 360 original, assuming your system is one that it chooses to run on.

    Crashes booted me to the desktop a dozen times. And a save corruption resulted in the loss of a level-17 garden and my last shred of patience. [Feb 2008, p.83]

    Piękna grafika mino półtorej dekady na karku, wciągająca i specyficzna rozgrywka, uroczy świat pełen szczegółów. Ta gra to świetny klasyk.

    This game is really relaxing, has a ton of stuff to discover and looks plain beautifui.
    I hope they make another one, it's been too long.
