Viva Pinata was a pretty succesful strategy game that brought a lot of depth. However the slightly kiddy look and feel kept it from reaching out to the majority of gamers.

Rare and Microsoft won't leave it at that, because there will be a sequel, titled Viva Pinata 2: Trouble in Paradise.

The game will most likely be officially announced tomorrow but there are already some new screenshots available and rumour has it that there will be some co-op gameplay including the ability to let other players wander through your gardens.
