Pros
Pro The soundtrack is amazing
Composed by Grant Kirkhope, the music in Viva Pinata really puts you in an unexplainable mood. When the sun sets, the animals falls asleep and "Tranquil Hours" plays, you will have a hard time not enjoying it.
Pro It's a very casual game
Being a childrens game, it is not made to be played hours upon hours in one sitting, but makes it fun to get back to once in a while, without being boring or repetetive.
Pro The feeling of achieveing something
If you're the kind of person that likes to hunt for secret items, hidden achievements, and rare events, this game is for you. You can cross-breed certain animals to get a new animal, feed them certain berries to change their color, make them evolve, and much more. The end goal of this game is to collect all the animals that are avaliable.
Cons
Con The game is a bit hard to get
You will need a physical copy and a controller to play, because the game was originally made for Xbox 360, and "Games for Windows Live" has been shut down.
