 Fun family game January 13, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this for our family for family game night. We all enjoy it and have fun. Our children find it very entertaining. Easy for my 5 year old. Sometimes he wins even though we're "not letting him win". It's also pretty funny. Children find it amusing to throw a dart on the donkey-like pinata's behind and several other minigames. My 2 year old loves watching as well as playing a couple of the easy games such as an apple eating game and anything that requires only pushing buttons. This game is fun for all ages!!!!
 Great potential, but big flaws December 11, 2007

A mini-game tournament starring the Viva Pinata characters is a cool concept. Too bad the execution failed.
1) The mini-games that you want to play cannot be played at any time. You have to be lucky that the tournament selection will pick that mini-game in some long sequence of mini-games. They focus around racing tracks too much. These are fine by themselves, but it would have been nice to have a choice of not including them. What is really needed is to customize your own tournament line-up! Even allow duplication of your favorites.
2) They should have allowed the users to pick any animal -- not just four.
3) The voice commentary is really bad. They are depressing (as if they know this game is bad) and very repetitive.
Pinata fun ala Mario Party! November 18, 2007

If you are familar with the Mario Party concept, you are familar with this game! If not, here you go: it is basically a set of head-to-head minigames. The concept is pretty simple. You start off with a race (there are seven different courses) and then you can play between one to three mini games (your choice) after each race. You can also choose the number of times you race, etc. There is a large number of mini games: more and more are unlocked as you play the game. Up to four people can play at a time.
As to the game, I will let my ten year old daughter take over: "This game is really fun. Because they have some funny comments and funny mini games. After each race, two pinates say funny jokes and the pinatas have funny dances and say funny things when they win. I think this game is good for kids between 6 and 13. My dad thinks it is fun too and he is forty something."
I should add that this game is entirely appropiate for any age range. If your kids like Viva Pinata, they will also like this game. Enjoy!
Kids Love It! November 3, 2007

Great fun! But very different from the original. This is a bunch of mini competitions. The kids love playing against eachother. The graphics are good. My only complaint is there is too much talking in between the games and the pinata's don't always do what your controller is telling it to. But other than that i would reccomend it. My kids 4-10 love it!
