Awesome!! One of the best games on the 360 gets a sequel. Everyone in my family loves this game. I hope more people give it a chance.

Wow I'm just looking at the news for just this week and I think they announced like 5 exclusives for the 360 coming out this year...wow.

i am looking forward to it! When i heard of the first one I was all MANLY about it and said NO WAY lol. I bought it for my wife and vowed never to play it. Well i watched my wife play it and figured id get it a try,, Bad idea lol. It is a fun game that keeps you playing just five more minutes longer than you planned. Now to save any shred of manliness i have left I did turn it into a comptition with my wife to see who could get the rare pinata's first lol.

awsome news i loved the first one

Game looks good but it's basicly paper mache sims. The Eye of Judgement / Pokemon love child twist actually sound like the coolest part of this new game.

I'm so excited. I just wish it had online co op. If it does, they didn't mention it. I'm not so sure I like the card idea. It seems it would take away from the challenge of luring and keeping the Pinatas, which is a big part of the gameplay. So we will see if I bother with that aspect. But I will be buying this game.

I liked the first one. . Gonna grab this one. . don't know about the cards though

EB ruined this for me by having this in their upcoming games list.

I'll definitely grab it...loved the first one.

Cam aside I am looking forward to this game. I think the lack a true story kind of limited the games scope since in the end you are just manically playing to get more pinata's. With a story I think I will feel more like I am working toward some goal in game that is achievable and will allow me to say "I did it."

Overall, I was kind of let down with Viva Pinata. I think most of that is probably attributed to the fact that that despite being a seemingly mellow and relaxing game, the game is very fast-paced and pretty stressful. Much like The Sims, it's non-stop busy work. Plus you couldn't have one enormous, amazing garden with all of the pinatas, but instead had to separate them into different classes in multiple gardens, which I didn't care for too much. I found the game to be addictive, but mostly because of the fact that I never felt like it was a good time to stop and with so much work to do, it really seems to encourage you to keep playing.

Oh, and Ra-Devil, obviously GTAIV doesn't suck. Don't be ridiculous.

I became addicted to Viva Pinata... I played it for over 4 days straight with only a total of 8 hours of sleep.... not even Halo 3, Oblivion, or GTA IV (which sucks) could do that to me.

More of this brand is a good thing... certainly one of Xbox 360's better games, and a sleeper no less.

GOOOOD !!!

It's going to have to be 'wait and see' for me with this card collecting. I'm not buying a XBL cam for one game.

Other than that, I can't wait.

oh yeah!!! Viva Pinata 1 was awesome. I CAN NOT WAIT MUST HAVE NOW!

I hope players without the camera can still download new pinatas, becuase no one has that camera.

This game looks Fraking awesome can't wait 360 lineup wins again.

Oh boy .... lets scan some new creatures into the game ..... :S thats a scary thought that has been tried a dozen times and has failed every single time.

Two words: Cannot wait!!

this just in xbox 360 game line up this year KILLS ALL, yus viva 2 in sept

The show appeals to me...and im definitely too old for it

I think I was the only one ever to get theGBA to Gamecube adapter and use the card things to transfer stuff into animal crossings... and it was dumb. Then again, scanning things from the camera is just insane... Get ready for the robot apocalypse.

Maybe they are trying to tie in card based games and electronic based games...kinda odd though. Whatever, guys these Viva Pinata games work great for keeping your gfs occupied while playing other games...sure you loss your 360, but at least you can PC/MAC game in peace.

Card collection? Be afraid... be very afraid...
Seriously, that sounds like a really bad idea. What are they THINKING?!?

oh the poor pinnata !
wheres the humanity?

Although not for me (like Banjo), I have to give credit to MS for publishing a well balanced portfollio this year.
Ninja Gaiden, Gears, Fable, Banjo, Viva, Too Human, plus whatever I'm not thinking of.
Good job.

Cool, I loved Viva 1. Hopefully they will take the original game and just improve it, and not try to create a whole new game.

I thought they were mashing up into BURNOUT Paradise.

Sounds like Eye Of Judgement on the PS3, may be worth a look into as i like the idea of these sorts of games.
