Thirty of Viva Piñata 2's achievements have recently been made public, and while I normally have no interest in posting achievement/trophy lists, this one is actually interesting. It reveals that the multicolored Rare sequel will have four player online co-op.

You unlock the "Full House" achievement by playing a four person co-op session for an hour. If you can rope three of your friends into planting seeds for sixty minutes, then a glorious ten Gamer Points are yours. I bet you can't wait. 

Although it has been said many times that you won't need the Vision Camera to experience VP2, it certainly plays a role in the game's achievement system. Twenty GP are up for grabs if you scan in a piñata from the Internet, or trade one of these "famous" beasts.

If the achievement list is anything to go by, there looks to be far more variety this time around, with references to races, challenges and piñata shows. This will be great news for people who enjoyed the first game, but found tending to the garden wore thin after too many hours watching a blue horse kick the crap out of a yellow donkey. Personally, I was already sold on VP2 at the new crab piñata, but I'd never turn down some extra gameplay ... unless it was Summer Athletics' gameplay.
