JoeyN Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Some stuff from MS's event this week have started to leak. Teamxbox has posted Screenshots for the sequel of Viva Pinata. It will have a online co-op mode, that's all the details known so far. I know there are a lot of fans of the first game on the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camp Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Good to see it hitting this year. I really enjoyed the first game. It got really repetitive though so I hope Rare manages to make this new one a deeper game. I'd like to know more about the online mode too. With Animal Crossing Wii coming in December this one will get steamrolled if it is anything less than outstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covak Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I'm so damn excited! Just looking at those screenshots and seeing the new pinatas makes me happy And is it winter in a couple of them? Is it going to have changing seasons, with pinatas you can only attract during certain seasons?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric M Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Hopefully they will fix the issues with the first game that led to things turning invisible in your garden... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted May 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Was reading some posts in a few other forums with people who never played the game asking why they made a sequel for VP. Well the reason is world wide it's sold 1.27 million copies (yes that includes after it was discounted as well). Now don't expect a Party Animals sequel as it hasn't hit 150,000 yet , and Target already discounted it to $10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnemaEms Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Why did they make a sequel? Maybe because it is still in the Top 5 best 360 games. -Dean- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted May 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 It's in my top 15. Not 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boogieman Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Awesome. I shouldn't be this excited to see a sequel to the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnemaEms Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 More info. Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise will have gamers connecting through Xbox Live to collaborate on gardens for their living pinatas "as well as instantly introduce new pi?ata species to their garden through an innovative new feature utilizing the Xbox Live Vision Camera."

Covak Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Even if it requires the camera, I'm glad to see plans for additional content (like actual pinatas and not just accessories!) this time around. Assuming they're not just on the disc and locked until you show the cards to the camera, that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covak Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Viva Pinata is the only game I have 1000/1000 gamerscore for I'd seen the release date as Friday, but now it looks like it's shipping Tuesday like most games, so I hope to be diving in Wednesday afternoon. I'm super, super excited P.S. Despite earlier DLC talk from the devs, I recently read somewhere that no DLC is planned as the team is going right to work on something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyN Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Yeah the game has sneaked up quickly, but I expect it to get some advertising along with the 360 price drop next weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony G Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 8.5 from IGN : Closing CommentsViva Pi?ata Trouble in Paradise is a satisfying experience and should appeal to gardeners of all ages. And although Rare is not presenting anything remarkably new, it has added nearly everything many gamers found missing from the previous game, thus creating the definitive Viva Pi?ata experience. If you’ve never played the original, this is definitely the version to buy. If you already own the first Viva Pi?ata game, then whether or not to buy the sequel depends on what you found missing from the original. If you’ve been dying to play online with friends or on the couch with your kid, then the multiplayer modes in Trouble in Paradise will be reason enough for a purchase. Otherwise, it’s really just more of the same, much of which could have been handled through an expansion rather than an entirely new game. 9.0 PresentationRare has outdone itself in the cuteness department. The pi?atas are as colorful and vibrant as ever. Huge style with impressive depth. 8.0 Graphics Very pretty, but the sluggishness of the first game is back. 8.5 Sound Gardening in 5.1 surround is a real treat. You can hear creatures fluttering, chirping and dying all around you. The ho-hum music returns from the first game. 8.5 Gameplay With the addition of multiplayer and new areas and pi?atas, Trouble in Paradise keeps Viva feeling fresh. 8.5 Lasting Appeal Online and offline co-op play, 32 new critters and tons of hidden treats and treasures will keep you gardening.
