Ok, so who here is man enough to admit to playing it.  *looks in eik\'s direction*

My friends just got it with their brand new 360 and I must say I was quite skeptical of the game at first but by the end we were all getting pretty in to it.  Its not ground breaking and the cutesy graphics is definitely going to be a complete turn off to some but its addicting.  The gotta catch em all type game play is going to suck in a LOT of people.  I don\'t know if I would personally go out and buy it, (I\'d have to buy a 360 too) but I could see a mass appeal.

One major drawback though, it does a terrible job of explaining what you need to do to move on and earn experience, and you are blindsided with about 40 new characters very quickly without much of an explanation as to who they are and what they do.

i dont understand what the hell you do in the game.

kind of sounds like sim-farm with pinatas. was a fun game...in 1992.

The "intereactive" demo online tried to be too cutesy so they didnt explain anything about the game..then i lost interest and realized id never pay to rent or buy the game.

I\'ve been told its like animal crossing although I\'ve never played it so I can\'t really say if its accurate or not.  But yeah, pokemon 360 sums it up quite nicely.  Unforunately I\'m a sucker for those kinds of games.

More or less you tend to a garden and as the garden grows it attracts more pinatas.  Eventually you send the pinatas off to parties (never got that far so I don\'t know how that works).
