I’ve been gaming since I was three or four, or whenever it was my family got the NES, so I’ve become accustomed to seeing things in games that generally can’t be explained. A plumber gaining extra life or increasing in size when he eats mushrooms? Fine. Corporations developing zombie viruses for the military? Okay. I can handle all that because as bizarre as those concepts may be, they make sense in their own stupid way, and I love them all the more for it. But I can’t get my head around Viva Piñata.
The premise of the game is that you’re some dude with a garden and you need to maintain your patch of grass so as to attract piñatas. Once you’ve attracted them, you have to keep them there so that they will populate your garden with even more piñatas. If you do a good job, all kinds of piñatas will visit and ‘romance’ with each other, and then you’ll have a …wait, what the fuck?
