* Gameplay
   The "Viva Pinata" gameplay experience presents a customizable, social 
   and spontaneous world in which gamers play an absolutely crucial role. 
   The "Viva Pinata" world is an evolving paradise teeming with fantastic 
   living pinata creatures and vibrant plant life, all determined by the 
   player's choices and actions. "Viva Pinata" boasts the following 
   qualities:
    - Customizable. 
      "Viva Pinata" allows players  imaginations to run wild by providing 
       them with expansive freedom and choice:
        - Your world. Your choice of contents will determine which of the 
          pinata species are attracted to your world, since they all have 
          individual requirements. Sowing grass, digging ponds, planting 
          flowers and growing trees all affect which of the unique pinatas 
          you will see. It's not just about plants, either; there is a 
          whole range of ornaments and structures that could be decisive. 
          Your reward for creating an appealing paradise is to watch the 
          pinatas visit and eventually reside there, which is where the fun
          really starts.
        - Your pinatas. Once you have resident pinatas, you can begin to 
          personalize your loyal community. Pinatas can be individually 
          named and given their own personally designed tag to put on 
          display as a declaration of their home turf. And the 
          customization doesn't end there. You can make the colorful 
          critters more distinctive by customizing them with all kinds of 
          costumes and accessories.
    - Social. 
      The "Viva Pinata" community is a rewarding place to be, whether you 
      remain within the boundaries of your own world or venture out into 
      the real world or your friend's pinata world via Xbox Live, the first 
      and only global, unified online console games service.
       - Interact with the pinatas. Getting to know and understand the 
         personalities and requirements of your pinatas is essential if you 
         want them to stay happy and thrive. Make your world their ideal 
         paradise, and they'll want to raise a family and expand your 
         community.
       - Interact with the characters. Players decide how much help they 
         want from the local guides, shopkeepers and work force. Go it 
         alone or get them involved -- you choose.
       - Interact with other players online. Via the Xbox Live online 
         community, players can contact other gamers to lend a hand, lay 
         down a competitive challenge or trade items.
    - Spontaneous. 
      "Viva Pinata" is a constantly changing world where anything can and 
      does happen:
       - It's happening outside. It's not just new pinata species that are 
         drawn to your world; untamed sour pinatas with bad attitudes and 
         troublemaking ruffians do their worst to spoil your creation and 
         must be dealt with.
       - It's happening inside. Maintaining harmony within a growing 
         community isn't always easy when rivalries, illness, injuries and 
         even candy-spilling fights occur. If players turn their backs, who 
         knows what their pinatas will do?
