This was never going to be Viva Piñata: Piñatas invade New York City, and as such is going to feel extremely familiar to anyone who sunk considerable time into the original. The whole premise of Viva Piñata is the garden, which is where piñatas live, where you plant seeds, grow plants and decorate. Being a sim, Rare couldn’t simply build some new levels and a few new enemies and have a sequel. Although the original game had a few problems, the core idea and gameplay was near-perfect, making for one of the Xbox 360’s best games.

Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise was followed by Viva Piñata: Pocket Paradise for the Nintendo DS and Viva Piñata: Party Animals (a party game using the characters).As much as we were hugely looking forward to Rare’s Viva Piñata follow-up, Trouble in Paradise, there was always the feeling that the dev team would struggle to make a true sequel. The already expansive list of piñatas has grown so that just means this will take you more time to finish.
