The above is a rather amusing spoof of Halo 3's "Believe" ad campaign, using Viva Piñata figurines in place of humanity's last stand. As someone with a fondness for Rare's candy-stuffed animal shenanigans, this certainly raised a smirk from me.
Rare really should adopt this as the Trouble In Paradise commercial. It worked for Halo 3.

Amazing also how they are targeting (inteligently) more adult peeps too this time around now that they know there core audience are not all 7yr old kids.
viva pinata forever (cue fidel castro)
This makes me want a silly VP shooter with grizzled, 5 o'clock shadow piñatas and guns that shoot sweets and flowers.
That's a truly epic spot. I could take a month of this as a meme.
How about Animal Crossing next? Mr. Ressetti priming his pick ax would be super heroic.
Viva Pinata is not really a kids game. It's really an addictive game filled with, incest, murder, and cannibalism.
Brilliant!
I thought the original version for 'Halo 3' was meh.
