While an eventual wind-down in the gameplay is expected (once you max out your garden and unlock all the piñatas, there's not too much else to do), I wouldn't anticipate reaching that mark until at least 65 hours and that's being conservative. The play value in this title is quite large because, like the original, the game never really ends. Since there is a wealth of customization options, you can make your garden into the picture-perfect paradise you've always dreamt of. Because the new Viva Piñata world is greatly expanded, there's so much more potential gameplay time and, as a result, the experience becomes even more immersive than before. It was the deep and creative gameplay style.

But, we'll have to wait and see how this feature evolves as time goes on.Īlthough the new features in Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise are very impressive, I have to say that it wasn't the new features that really drew me back into the garden. The game comes shipped with two cards, and you can download and print some off of Rare's official Viva Piñata website. This system works similarly to the PlayStation 3's Eye of Judgment, but there doesn't seem to be much support for it at the present time. This card can be scanned through your camera and will unlock special items and piñatas. The game comes shipped with a special card with a barcode on it. One of the most interesting new functionalities in Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise has to do with the Xbox LIVE camera functionality. You can also take pictures of your garden and send them to your Xbox LIVE friends as well. So, if your friend has their eye on a wildcard Bispotti in your garden, you can send it to them if you are so inclined.

In addition to the online co-op functionality, you are also able to share unique items and piñatas with your friends worldwide.
