    Yeah, I know....start heckling. I bought it for my kid's, and damned if I didn't get hooked on it. I was just wondering if I'm the only one.

    Pretty much, you attract pinatas (animals) to your garden by various means, get them to become residents, breed them, and make money. Sounds simple and boring, but it get addictive. I originally got it for my kids, but I think I play it as much as they do. There's a LOT more to it than what I just said, but that's the jist of it.

    I have it and love it. I haven't played it in a long while, I did pick up the guide recently though. I'm just afraid to play it because I'd go in with a single objective and 4 hours later realize I was still playing.

    I bought it for my wife, but I've become minorly addicted. It's a great game.

    I wanna buy it but I know how I'll get. I'll wanna play for a couple hours and then call up some friends to go out on a drive but then it'll be dark by the time I stop.

    I specifically avoided that one after my friend bought it for his girlfriend to play and ended up playing it more than any of the other games he had. Hell, I got addicted to it just watching them play. For some reason every time a new pinata showed up I wanted to grab the controller and figure out how to get him to stay and change colors.

    Yay! (does Snoopy dance) I'm not the only one. Rhinox, I'm up for trading, but I don't really have anything great, yet. I'm only like level 12 or something. I need to pick up the guide. There's SO much to the variants and such.

    I did play it. I got all of the achievements and stopped shortly after that. Once I had nothing to work toward it became really boring.

    I just got to level 14 last night and finally got a newtgott or whatever it's called.

    So far, the only real 'interesting' ones I have are redhotts and a twinnersnake.

    Me and my GF lost a whole month on that game. I think we got up to lvl 18 or so. I could trade some pinata's if anyone wants too.

    Also the TV show viva pinata is fun to watch too.....
