My wife plays this game, and the book saved a lot of time going to the computer and back to the xbox to find stuff. She did mention a few typos, but all in all a good deal if you are a big fan of the game. Comes with a bunch of those cards that you can scan on the live vision camera.

This review is from: Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise: Prima Official Game Guide (Prima Official Game Guides) (Paperback)

As other reviewers have accurately reitterated, this guide is great. It lays out in an easy-to-follow format every secret of Pinata Island: wild cards, twins, rare species; seeds (with productivity enhancement tips and what each plant does for your pinata); every building and Costalot merchandise with their function; the people and places; many hints for winning shows, races and breeding mini-games; and much more.

The book really speeds things up for you and helps make this expansive game a bit more attainable. It reveals secrects that many players would otherwise not know of without searching through much internet foilage-- and the book looks great on your bookshelf in the meantime with its exuberant color palette and whimsical artwork.

There is so much content in this game that I have never fully completed it, but the guide really enhances the experience. My only beef with the book is the publishers used really weak paper that will fold and tear if you're not very careful with it. So be careful, and enjoy showing it off to all your friends!

And don't forget to check out "Viva Pinata garden designs" on Youtube for great ideas on how to create lavish, theme-oriented living areas for you and your little critters to enjoy.
