Customer Reviews

Good reference for all the esoteric variations in the game

One can get quite far in the game by just paying attention, experimenting and luck; however, sometimes it's nice to have a reference when you want to attract a particular Pinata or produce a particular variation. While a lot of this information is freely available on the web, I find having a book to flip through, more practical while playing the game.

A very clear guide.

I don't usually get game guides because they spoil the fun, but sometimes you just want to know what kind of fertalizer to use, and this one tells you everything. It's a good reference for those who don't want to take notes on a game that is purely for fun.

Very Helpful Guide! Best Game Guide I have Bought!

I couldn't be more happier when I bought this book. It is full of full colored details! Everything you wanted to know about viva pinata is in here. Pinata color variants, seed types, fertilizers, Pinata romance and a ton more! This guide helped me much more than searching around on the internet for hours looking up info. This is a great guide will tell all the secrets and achievements, I recommend this guide for anyone who is new to viva pinata or experienced players who need a couple of tips like myself!

Make the most out of Viva Piñata

Although Viva Piñata is an easy game to play, there are quite a few undocumented features to make the most out of it. I would never have guessed how to get a Twingersnap or a Fourheads for the Master Evolver achievement. And how about all the guesswork involved to get the Variants Master? There are many helpful sites on the Internet, but you either have to use a separate monitor to view the hints while you play or have to spend time organizing printouts from different sources. This handy reference is a cost effective alternative that includes everything you need to be a good gardener and piñata romancer, get all the achievements and collect every piñata there is. It is well organized, with lots of helpful diagrams, detailed tables and lots of good advice. I was a Level 50 gardener already when I opened this guide but I have to admit that I got quite a few tips that would've made my life so much easier in the early levels, especially with the romancing and collecting activities. I'm currently a Level 65 gardener and I've already gotten my 50 achievements but I'm still using the guide to help me get 5 piñatas to complete my collection and I also use it to keep track of additional activities such as master romancing other species and making other piñata variants. Chapter 1 - Piñata Preparation - Everything about gardens and how they grow, all about experience, making money and garden planning. Chapter 2 - Inhabitants - All the characters, service providers, ruffians, Prof. Pester, etc. Chapter 3 - The 60 Piñatas - The most useful chapter for the collector. This is what the game is all about. A list of all Piñatas and all their possible requirements (appear, visit, resident, romance). It also shows the recommended romancing-game paths, the housing costs, piñata base values, variants, fetching and healing costs and additional information specific to each piñata. Chapter 4 - Garden Tools - All about gardening, shovel and and watering can updates, fertilizers, bushes, trees, flowers, weeds, vegetables, seeds, etc. There's also information on buildings, candy, ornaments and produce. Chapter 5 - Appendix - This is where all crucial information is summarized in tables. It shows all possible piñata variants, a summary of piñata requirements, all possible achievements, unlockables (what things are available at every level), even the food chain is tabularized, who eats who and which species tend to fight.

A Great Guide For A Great Game!

I bought the Viva Piñata game when it came out and inmediately loved it, but sometimes I found myself in the middle of piñatas fighting each other, or dying or just leaving my graden, so when I saw this guide was coming I inmediately bought it and I just can say it is a great guide, it is a great help for all of us who whish to become great Piñata gradeners.
