The simplicity and familiarity of Party Animals probably makes it a better fit for Viva Piñata's target audience, and the party-time visuals are still busy and vibrant, but the gameplay is so rote and so uninspired that the charm wears off pretty quickly.īeyond the visuals, there's just not a lot to Party Animals. By contrast, Viva Piñata: Party Animals is neither deep nor sophisticated, transplanting the anthropomorphic piñatas into a game that wants to be both a kart-racing game and a minigame collection, but it's not very good at either. The game itself, however, was a relatively complex and slow-paced strategy game, featuring a level of depth and sophistication that was at odds with its cute, lively persona. The candy-colored visuals, highly marketable characters, and animated TV series that accompanied the game made it pretty apparent that Microsoft was looking to conjure up a kid-powered, Pokémon-style franchise. Even a year after its original release, Viva Piñata remains an inexplicable game.
