A few months ago I mentioned all the bad press about the big Xbox 360 "kids game" called Viva Pinata.
At the time, I was reacting to comments from trade shows and previews. Now that the game is out, I thought it only fair to point out a total reversal of those early opinions.
In contrast to the pre-release vibe, the response to the actual game is extremely positive. The 1Up Show says Pinata is the "best Rare game since Golden Eye", ie it is surprisingly addictive and fun.
It does not sound like my personal taste, but the turn of events has me curious to try the game. Nice job Microsoft/Rare!
