The other kind of special piñata is a baby piñata. To me, capturing piñatas in the other terrains didn't feel as fun or natural as luring piñata to your garden, and I never enjoyed capturing them quite as much as discovering a way to attract new piñatas in the garden. It really isn't difficult to pick up, but the ability to travel to new locations helps to keep Trouble in Paradise feeling fresh. In addition to the other requirements used to keep a piñata in your garden, you may actually end up converting part of your garden into a desert or snowfield in order to keep these exotic piñatas happy. Some of the rarest piñatas are so picky that you'll have to do a boatload of work to get them into your trap, and once you have them trapped, the game is only half over.ĭesert and arctic piñatas generally don't want to live in the lush green grasses of your garden, so once you've trapped them, they won't agree to stay without a bit of extra motivation. Luring piñatas isn't too tough you simply have to discover what makes them tick and set a proper trap with the proper bait. In order to find these rare piñatas, you'll have to travel to the desert or the arctic with traps and bait. While many of the 100+ piñatas in the game are found in or around your garden, some of the most in-demand piñatas can only be found elsewhere in the world. New to Trouble in Paradise is the addition of alternate habitat piñatas. Some piñatas will hang out if your garden contains specific things, others will need you to give them specific treats before they're willing to stay, and some disturbing examples will only join your garden if you feed them other piñatas. Once you do, you can fulfill it in order to make the piñata feel favorable toward your garden. Once they've been lured out, you still have to find a way to make them want to stay, which also involves discovering that piñata's particular desire. Some will be attracted by beautiful flowers, the presence of certain other piñatas, or only come out at a certain time of the day. Each of the 100+ piñatas in the game have its own unique set of requirements that you must fulfill before they'll come out of hiding and be attracted to your garden. Before you can even begin raising them, you have to lure a piñata into your garden. Your primary goal in Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise is to raise some of these adorable creations of candy and papier-mâché to meet the demands of people around the world. As you can imagine, this makes them rather in high demand, and there are people who create piñata gardens to raise these poor little creatures for parties and other gatherings. They just happen to be made of construction paper materials, and their natural processes fill them with candy. They live and breathe, eat and sleep, and love and die. The concept of Viva Piñata is that these toys are not actually made in a factory, but bred and raised like any other animal in the world.
Kids are blindfolded and take turns whacking the piñata with a stick, trying to break it open and unleash the delicious swarm of candy inside. They are animal-shaped papier-mâché creations with hollow innards that are promptly filled with various kinds of candy.
While the sequel Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise doesn't stray from this roots, it certainly provides more of the same all-ages gameplay that the Xbox 360 so desperately needs.įor those not aware of the concept, piñatas are a popular party toy in certain areas. Yet, despite its well-received ratings and general popularity, most people passed off Viva Piñata as "a kiddie game" due to its bright colors and general lack of violence. Perhaps the biggest exception to this was Viva Piñata, an odd little title from Rare that managed to provide a surprisingly fun experience that bridged the age gap and garnered fans from many age groups. It has the occasional licensed Disney tie-in game, but most of the 360's big titles tend to be rated "T" at minimum and involve space marines and shotguns. The Xbox 360 isn't exactly a kid-friendly system.
