Viva Piñata: Party Animals

Viva Piñata: Party Animals is a 2007 party video game developed by Krome Studios for the Xbox 360 as part of the Viva Piñata series. The game was released on October 30, 2007, in North America, November 15 in Australia, November 16 in Europe, and December 6 in Japan. Unlike the original Viva Piñata, Party Animals is based on elements from the television show, including its characters and voices. Furthermore, the title provides a minigame based experience, similar to the Mario Party series, rather than the sandbox environment of the original. There are over 40 minigames, as well as kart-style races which are conducted on foot. The game received generally mixed reviews by critics upon release.
