A fun, original game... though it seems a bit redundant.
Graphics: Great graphics, smooth textures, fun and interactive pinata make this game extremely appealing to the eye. Many players will find these graphics to be "too cute" or "too animated" but that's exactly what makes the graphics great. They convey the essence of the game, which is a guilty pleasure. It's not meant to be a hardcore, slit-his-throat type of game.
Gameplay: Fun, entertaining, and refreshing. It seems like all the other xbox 360 games have aimed for gore and violence. This game manages to bring a new thought to a game. It's simplistic and easy enough for little kids to enjoy... but can be made complicated and tedious enough for older gamers to enjoy as well. The controls are also very comprehensable and make for an easy-flowing experience.
Sound: It does what it needs to do but nothing more. The sound doesn't stand out but it still suits the mood of the game well. The nice effects of "joy" when the pinata burst are fun and enjoyable and really suit the mood of the game. Nothing stand-outish though, so it doesn't earn too high of a grade.
Overall: It's a really fun game for the most part. It can become very boring after a while, as it introduces the same game just more complicated to attract new pinata. Some gamers will love it, some will hate it. As for me, I enjoyed it for 15-20 hours and then completely lost interest.
