Once again you start with a simple spade, a watering can and some grass seed. The sense of deja vu is impossible to shake. That’s not to say that Rare hasn’t managed to make this another must-own title.
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.
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.
