Game Information

By: Rare, Microsoft
Genre: Simulation
Release Date: November 6, 2007
Players: 1-2
Version: 1.0 retail US version.

This is a simulation-style game where you recruit and breed piñata creatures. As you progress through the game you will be able to discover and recruit more demanding piñatas. There are several gardens available for you to use in recruiting piñatas that allow you to set up different ecosystems and attract different types of piñatas.

Like my own family, these piñatas fight, romance, and eat each other. Have fun.

Widescreen Support

Method

The game supports certain widescreen resolutions natively based on your system configuration.

If your desired widescreen resolution is not available go to "Documents and Settings\*User Name*\Local Settings\Application Data\Saved Games\Microsoft Games\Viva Pinata" and open "pinata.cfg" with a text editor.

The folders may be hidden so you might have to enable "Show hidden files and folders" in "Folder Options".

Search for...
videoscreenresx = ****
videoscreenresy = ****

Change "****" to your desired resolution. Then search for...
videowidescreen = *
Make sure "*" is set to "1".
