Hi I got another 360 game for you. It's called Viva Pi ata and let me tell you this has to be one of the most original games I've ever played. Rated-E for E for comic mischief ooh you know and mild cartoon violence. You see Pi atas get it ah. It is not bad at all. It's for all ages beyond all ages. It's for 6-year-olds to 86-year-olds except for the fact that 86-year-olds don't know how to play video games. So it's more or less just for 6-year-olds and anybody else who's old enough to know how to play video games but at the same time it's almost not a kid's game. That's the problem. It's the best kids' game I've ever played but it's the most complexed one. I mean you're not a character running around collecting coins and all these stuff. You have a garden you make a garden and you have to clean it up and everything and you gotta make it nice and you have to kinda achieve all these different little objectives to get these Pi atas to come in your garden and you know live there and reproduce and the more and the higher you know the more you do this the higher the level gets and the more you know new equipment and stuff you can buy the more money you get. The thing is that's a little complex for little kids so you know of course if you're a parent you can you'll gonna help them and all that stuff. But really it's just a fun game to kinda sit around and play. You don't want to worry about anything. You know there's the violence there's no violence in it really at all. I mean what's really really cool about it is the AI the different Pinatas. They have their own AI and it's really interesting to see coz they kinda live like real animals and you're really do feel for them. You can name the Pi atas and all that stuff. This is it's a really really creative game. It's done by Rare one of the best developers you know of all time. And they did do GoldenEye in the N64 and Perfect Dark in N64 and most recently they did cameo no Perfect Dark 0 in the 360. Sorry about that. But no this game is just very good and it's not really that popular. I really think it should get I mean it's hard for it to gather an audience because A hardcore gamer is just like no it's for kids you know and B the kids are gonna be like dad I don't know how to play that. And so really it's just kind of in the middle. If you know about and you like then you can play and you like it. But overall it's a very good game and highly recommends anybody who likes those strategy type games. So definitely try to pick this up and try it out.
