“Viva Piñata” has been designated a 2007 Parents' Choice Gold award winner. (http://www.parents-choice.org/product.cfm?product_id=21771&award=AW)
For twenty-five years, the Parents’ Choice Awards program has established the benchmarks of achievement in children’s media; trust for the consumers and credibility with the press. Judges consider quality, “universal human values” and appeal to children when selecting award winners. Parents’ Choice Gold award winners, such as “Viva Piñata,” are deemed to have the highest production standards and a “unique, individual quality that pushes the product a notch above others.”
Fewer than 15 percent of those items submitted to the Parents’ Choice Awards program receive a commendation, making this a great honor. Previous video game and software winners include Nintendo’s “Animal Crossing,” “Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004” for Xbox and “Sim City 4: Deluxe Edition.”
“Viva Piñata” is praised as an innovative game appropriate for many ages and video game skill levels. Considering the game’s depth and charm, Parents’ Choice Awards reviewer Don Oldenburg can only ask, “Who would've guessed going inside the life of a piñata would be this sweet?”
