Clearing the ground, planting seeds and digging ponds brings wild pinatas like the Whirlm worm to visit. Each species has its own requirements to appear, then to move in as a resident, then to romance, so the garden gradually becomes a working ecosystem. Some pinatas need certain flowers or trees, some need to eat another species first, and villagers such as Willy Builder and the shopkeeper Costolot help you buy and build what you need.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSours, Professor Pester and the long game\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot everything that wanders in is friendly. Sour pinatas cause trouble among your residents, and Professor Pester and his ruffians show up to smash pinatas with sticks. Fences, houses and a well-kept garden keep things running smoothly. As your garden levels up, new and larger species arrive, including the Horstachio horse, and requests come in to send grown pinatas to parties through Pinata Central. There is no strict timer or fail state, so the garden grows at whatever pace suits you, which makes it popular with families and younger players.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChecking a used Viva Pinata disc\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eViva Pinata ships on a single Xbox 360 disc, and the main things to look at on any used copy are the data side and the center hub, where cracks can start. Light surface marks usually do not affect play, while deep scratches in a circular pattern can. The game saves to your console's storage, not to the disc, so progress stays with your system. This listing is for the game disc, and a case, manual or cover art are included only when the title says so.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:details --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-facts\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct facts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eGame\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eViva Pinata\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlatform\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXbox 360\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePhysical format\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGame Disc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eGame style\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLife simulation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRelease\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2006\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePublisher\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMicrosoft Game Studios\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePre-owned, individual cosmetic condition varies\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBox, manual and accessories\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConfirm individual item contents\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-faq\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this game\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eHow does Viva Pinata play on Xbox 360?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt plays like a relaxed garden simulator.
