Viva Pinata 3 - what we want to see

That's not to say we don't welcome a challenge though. The sour piñatas provide enough annoyance, and actually offer an awesome reward for dealing with them when you win them over and they become sweet piñatas in your garden. TIP also has an addicting challenge system where you filled increasingly difficult and highly specific piñata requests for kids' parties around the world. We'd love to see more challenges like that.

The idea of having specific unlockable piñatas is cool, but it would be less of a hassle if they were available as DLC giveaways for dedicated fans.

And don't even get us started on acquiring some of the more exotic species. Just look at the instructions for obtaining a Choclodocus onPinataIsland.info. It seriously seems like it would be impossible to figure out without a FAQ. The game sometimes gives you small hints via Leafos or Seedos, but for the most part you're totally on your own. We don't want the instructions for super difficult piñatas just handed to us (what would be the point, then?), but it would be helpful if there were some kind of puzzle or clue system to help guide us a bit.

And whatever happens – please, no talking piñatas. Seriously.
