Viva Pinata : Trouble in Paradise

Wikipedia wrote:GameSpot gave the title a score of 8.5/10, praising the greater variety of gameplay, but criticizing the voice acting.[10] The review highlighted the party/celebration challenge system which encourages players to acquire different piñatas, providing goal-oriented motivation lacking in the previous title.

IGN also gave the game an 8.5/10 (the same score awarded to the original and to Pocket Paradise), indicating that is worth buying if one enjoyed the original and wanted to make use of the co-op features. However, the reviewer did note that the game hasn't radically changed from its predecessor, primarily providing more of the same.

*Adds to wishlist*

Thanks, those are some really postitive reviews. But would the game be accessible enough for someone who hasn't played or even knows the concept of Viva Pinata?

Wikipedia wrote:In order to give players more choices about how to play the game, the sequel now includes multiple modes:[6]

Player Guide - A mode intended for younger or newer players, where the fundamental aspects of the game are explained and the game pacing is relaxed.
Standard Mode - The primary game mode, which includes challenges from sour piñatas, Ruffians, and other forces.
Just For Fun Mode - A mode where players can hop in and immediately begin working on a garden without worrying about running out of money or having to unlock various items. However, certain more exotic piñatas are not available in this mode, nor are Xbox Live Achievements.
Contests - Players can enter their piñatas in beauty contests and races, the latter of which requires piñatas to race along a course collecting sweets and avoiding loathers (Pester's evil red bombs).

I always made sure to name every creature in my garden individually, so I need to get thinking of names for them.

It also happens to be irresistibly cute:

He was an amazing Fudgehog.

When my Chippopotamus died, I just couldn't move. I just stopped and watch him break.

Then float away...

Btw, I gotta Dragonache.
