Candy-colorful madness will continue in September

Studio Rare, for almost 25 years, delighting fans with absolutely nothing like, original and often openly psychedelic toys, announced its intention in September to release a sequel to one of the most dearly beloved by the public of its hit - Viva Pinata. The game, which will become a series with the release of the second part of Trouble in Paradise, will coexist in the studio's list of achievements with such masterpieces as the immortal Donkey Kong and Battletoads.

The story of all the imaginable and inconceivable colors, the story of candy-stuffed paper little animals-pinyatki, which the American children love to beat with bats on holidays, attracts with its desperate cheerfulness and shines with light from the very inside. Children and adults, happy owners of an XBox toy (it’s quite difficult to imagine it in a PC version), sitting down for it, instantly plunge into a light euphoria, which I really do not want to leave.

Taking the opportunity (for which I would like to thank Lera Tvardovskaya many thanks), we interviewed the creators of the game.

I have a fighter who has matured in bloody 3D shooters and who plays Viva Pinata secretly from everyone with a smile of childish happiness on his face. You make this world a better place than jokes. Tell me, have you already reserved a place in paradise?

No, in my youth I was very unkind to my younger sister. It takes a long time to erase all past mistakes.

Who comes up with new pinyatki for the game? Where do you get your inspiration from?

We create the whole game ourselves. Designers choose interesting animals, and then artists give them the look, "like a piny." We try to do things that make us laugh, and we hope that people will appreciate the joke.

Do you plan to somehow change the appearance of the characters and the style of the game? What about gothic piñata?

No, we like how it looks. And still there is nothing like Viva Pinata.

Will there be any changes in the gameplay? Maybe the piñatas will live in a world of passions, like the heroes of Sims 2? What about some other genres.

Oh, we will add so many different pieces. Let's make races between the piñatas, teach them different tricks, communicate with toys. There will be many surprises, which are an important and interesting part of the game to find. Well, let's add something that golf lovers will like.


Trouble in Paradise, as before, takes place on the magical island of Pinata Island. The insidious professor Pester, together with his gang, Rogue erased all Pinata Central computer records, as a result of holidays and parties were in jeopardy. To help Pinata Central, players should gradually restore the computer database by sending pinat up for holidays around the world. Gamers will have to not only destroy Professor Pester’s villainous plans, but also to breed and maintain the Pinyat Gardens. In addition, you will have to connect your imagination and use your imagination to attract, capture, protect, train and maintain more than 100 different types of piñatas.
