Viva Pinata - Trouble in Paradise

As usual, I spent my hard earned wages on video games that came out this Friday, those games being Infinite Undiscovery, and the long awaited (by me at least) sequel to Viva Pinata - Trouble in Paradise.

Now, as much as I would love to tell you that I have played Infinite Undiscover, I actually found myself playing Viva Pinata until the early morning, and never really got to touch the recent Square-Enix release.

As always, I endeavour to give you an honest opinion of the game, and that is that this game is just as fantastic as its predecessor. All the original Pinatas are there for us to coo over and admire, and now there are tons of other Pinatas for you to love and care for. My personal favourite of the new breed of Pinatas is the Jeli. It is a huge Yeti that can be found in the Snow area of the game.

Which brings me onto another subject. There are two areas where you can capture Pinatas for your garden, the Pentarctic and the Dessert Desert. Here you can find multiple new breeds (and old) of Pinatas that you can capture using traps and baits. Much like Pokeballs in Pokemon, these traps are not always successful, but it is a nice little quirk to the game.

There are also more Ruffians and Sour pinatas ready to wreck your garden. In fact, there are so many new things in the game that they could have just released the game with all the new things and I would have been satisfied. There are new plants, items, pinatas, ruffians and sour pinatas, that the game keeps its game playing ability for HOURS!

However, as with every game there are so flaws. For example, it is ridiculously difficult to get the new rare Chocolodocus...in fact, the only reason I know how to get it is because I was sad enough to buy the walk through guide to the game...but that is beside the point.

Also, and I am unsure if this is a fault with my game, or if it is a general fault with all of them, but for the 30 hours that I have been playing the game (in total...not in one sitting) the weather has done nothing but rain, that is, the in-game weather...although weather in the UK has been similar from the past...year. See, its not so much an issue as it means I don't have to water all the plants, however, my Pinata keep getting depressed by the terrible weather...and nothing tugs at your heart strings than watching a Redhot cry with tears falling from its eyes.

I know I am sad, but I really love this game. It looks like a child's game, but I can assure you that this game appeals to people of all ages. All my friends (aged between 22-30) play this game and love it so if you are looking for something new, don't be put off by the game's girly appearance, it is a brilliant play, and the fun lasts for many hours!
