This will be a nice addition to the Xbox 360, we need an enjoyable game like this full of fun mini-games on the 360, if it's a cheaper than average price game (as it should be) then I'll pick this up.

Not enough people got into Viva Pinata IMO. Playing over Xbox Live though will definitely help the game's replay value.
