Synopsis: The world encompassing the pi?ata community is slowly dying, and to keep these creatures from going extinct, players must create a world where the pi?ata can thrive. Viva Pi?ata offers a place for gamers to create a lush green environment where all kinds of pi?atas can live and prosper. The player has complete creative control over the neighborhood they create, and can add grass, flowers, trees, fences, ponds, and other objects that will lure in the pi?atas. Each type of pi?ata has different needs, such as a worm pi?ata's need for good earth to burrow and a rabbit pi?ata's need for long grass and carrots. Pi?atas can come in the form of customizable horses, sheep, raccoons, worms, crocodiles, or wolves, and just like in nature, some of them will not get along. Players can build fences to keep rival pi?atas away from one another, and also to keep predator pi?atas away from prey. Wild pi?atas are red with black stripes and can cause general disorder in a garden. They are filled with bad candy that is poisonous to other pi?atas and can be taken care of by asking helpers to beat them with a stick, taming them, or sending them off to pollute another player's garden. Connecting to the Xbox Live online community opens up opportunities for item trading, player competitions, and obtaining rare objects and game currency through the Xbox Live Marketplace. ~ Gracie Leach, All Game Guide
