A Party With Pinatas

Strengths: Good graphics.

Weakness: Mini-games game repetitive

If you often have friends over, then this is a good party game to play. Unfortunately, if you usually play by yourself, then don't bother. Some mini-games are great, but get repetitive. You can tell Microsoft put a lot of money into the production of this game, and they partially succeeded. I'd recommend this game if you can get it cheap and have 3 others to play it with.

Viva Pinata Party Animals (Xbox 360)

Strengths: Very Kid Friendly - Great party game

Weakness: A bit difficult for some children.. gets repetitive after a while

I really enjoyed this game quite a bit. I played this game with my mom and she enjoyed it. It's a lot like the Mario Party games which are a lot of fun.

Viva Pinata: Party Animal

Strengths: Graphics, kids friendly

Weakness: Short game, could be boring for youth and adults

Viva Pinata: Party Animal is a decent game that is geared towards younger children. It's family friendly and has easy achievements, and online play. However, it may not be well received by older children and adults due to its extreme repetitive gameplay. Graphics looks great and colorful, which appeals to young children. The game consists of mini-games, which are easily achievable by young kids....

Strengths: Nice graphics, kids enjoy playing the games

Weakness: Short gameplay, so-so games for older kids, redundant games

Bought this game for my niece to play. She seemed to enjoy the game. The graphics look great. However, it seem to be entertaining only for very young kids, especially the mini-games. Older kids and adults may find it not so fun, because of the repetitive and redundant theme.

Pinata Party for Kids & Casual Gamers - But Party...

Strengths: Great game for little kids (colorful, cartoonish, simplistic, talking parrot). Super easy to play. Family-friendly. Easy to unlock achievements. Better play with multiplayer.

Weakness: Horrible game for real party game fans and any non-casual gamers. Extremely repetitive games. Races are especially disappointing. Designers apparently never played other party games or Mario Kart.

Microsoft looked to cash in on the success of its Viva Pinata game with this one and lost sight of actually developing a good game. I own the original Viva Pinata and I highly recommend it in lieu of this. The original is a Sims type game, but is very easy to play, has great graphics, and is kid-friendly. Only get Party Animals if your kid loves the Saturday morning cartoon show, you must own...

Well worth the price paid

Strengths: Fun childrens title for the xbox 360

Weakness: none

Glad developers are bringing more family oriented titles to the xbox. This game is particularly cute and has kept my 6 year old busy. I am surprised that the price of this game has dropped so dramatically since its release. Still its a very good buy.

Very fun game especially with 3-4 people

Strengths: Fun races (think mario kart), fun mini games (think mario party), all around great time

Weakness: some games are too similar; more of a mixup in games would be nice

Overall this is a really fun game especially if you've already played the original Viva Pinata and are familiar with the various characters. The games are rather amusing especially if you have upwards of 4 people. It's still fun with 2 people but definitely better with 3 or 4. I would say it's comparable to Rayman Rabbids in terms of gameplay, though minigames are a little different.
