| "Rare has certainly recaptured its former glory here, and in producing one of the most misunderstood games of the year, it has also produced one of the finest in its history, and certainly one of the most intriguing on 360. To dismiss it as 'just for kids' would be foolish. You are not too cool to enjoy this game." - 1UP |
| "No two people will play Viva Piñata alike, even though all who enter will most assuredly become residents for as long as their 360 remains tethered to a wall socket. Never have I seen a concept so perfectly implemented that a relatively tiny patch of land has me utterly captivated." - Play Magazine |
| "This is one of those games that you should really experience for yourself. I'm over a dozen hours into the game, and I'm still finding all sorts of new tricks of the piñata-wrangling trade." - TeamXbox |
| "Viva Piñata, then, is a game that's difficult to dislike. It oozes charm and personality from its every papier-mâché-covered pore." - GameSpot |
| "A good primer for kids and adults alike who aspire to explore the greater world of god games. It moves at a nice pace, it is never confusing, and it does a great job of holding your hand and showing you what to do next." - Game Informer |
| "The English developer's elaborately woven and complex endeavor brings great depth to the normally pallid kid genre, and that's part of what makes Viva Piñata such a great game. Despite ample room for improvement, this is easily one of the best titles, if not the best, Rare game since Microsoft bought it in 2002." - IGN |
