We have had this game for well over a year now and continue to enjoy it. The depth and variety is great. As a level 55 gardener, I still have 30 levels to go and more pinatas to attract! A must for any family. I have pre-ordered the new version and can't wait!

This is really a game of it's own kind. I have never had a game like this before, and it is so fun. I have the XBox 360 version, and it works just fine. I have never had any problems getting it to run, work, or doing anything with it. The game itself is perfect, haven't even ran into any glitches.

Someone said they didn't like this game because all you do is mate your pets and build houses, and plant. There is so much more to this game than that! Why not tell people what it takes to get pinatas to mate? Before a pinata can mate, first they have to become a resident. You have to meet all the requirements before a pinata will become a resident. After they are a resident, before you can mate them of course you need 2 pinatas of the same kind. Then you have to meet the requirements for mating. Some pinatas might need to eat a certain fruit before they can mate and have a certain thing. Other pinatas might need to eat OTHER PINATAS before they can mate. The mating process is not as easy as what some of these people say it is. You have a process you have to go by, a certain way to do it, and sometimes you might have to do that every single time before they will mate. Some pinatas need to eat a certain fruit before EVERY mate.

It is not just about mating and building houses, even though decorating your garden is really fun! You don't just plant seeds, you plant what you need. You have to meet the reqirements of your pinatas. So if your pinata needs a blueberry then your not going to plant a pumpkin. So it is not just about planting, it is about doing it in the right way to move up in the game. If you plant stuff you don't need at the time, you can just sell it for more money.

It upsets me that someone would call this easy and not entertaining. You don't just mate your pinatas and build houses, then everything is done and that is it. What about the sour pinatas? They come into your garden and ruin things you have done, they make pinatas sick. Then when a pinata is sick a annoying little man will come and break them. Then your pinata is gone forever. The whole process of making more starts all over again.

If you don't do your garden right, or if too many pinatas get broken then your garden will become empty. Animals will leave, and you have to try and attract more. You also have to try and keep them there.

Some pinatas require certain things before they will visit. I made a river in my garden and finally the frogs came to stay, and the ducks. You need a certain amount of water before they can stay. So I made a large amount of water and finally got the water pinatas.

There are a few things you have to do before mating and making residents. You just have to look at a pinatas information and see what you need. It doesn't always work or it takes a long time before they will become a resident.

The garden starts off with a small piece of land. At level 11 it will get bigger. The more you level up it will get bigger. There are a lot of levels to this game. I heard someone say they are up to level 108. Not even sure if that is the last level. It is a forever going game. You progress more and more as you go. You get bigger more better looking pinatas as you level up.

If your not enjoying this game it is because you haven't gotten far enough in the game & you probably haven't figured out exactly how to do it.

When I first played this, I had no idea what to do. Finally, I figured it out. There is a lot you can miss. If you don't do it right then you can not progress and not really enjoy yourself with it. So make sure you KNOW your doing it right and you haven't missed anything before you judge that it is nothing.

It is a very good game, and unlike any I have ever played. Waiting for the DS version to come out Sept. 8th AND I CAN'T WAIT!!!
