?Viva Pi?ata: Party Animals? for Xbox 360 to Debut on November, 16

Microsoft Game Studios and Krome Studios present the latest party gaming extravaganza developed exclusively for Xbox 360. Arriving in stores on 16th November, "Viva Pi?ata: Party Animals" is a social party game for gamers aged six and up that is set inside an episode of the 4Kids TV Viva Pi?ata animated series. Regardless of whether you are young or just young at heart, "Viva Pi?ata: Party Animals" is a real treat for gamers of all ages.

In the game, players star as their favourite candy-filled Pi?ata from the animated series including Franklin Fizzlybear, Hudson Horstachio, Paulie Pretztail, Fergy Fudgehog, and more as they compete for fame and fortune in more than 50 distinct mini-games and races across Pi?ata Island. "Viva Pi?ata: Party Animals" features Xbox LIVE and local multi-player contests, like Burps Ahoy!, where colourful Pi?atas send burp fuelled sailboats across Lake Pi?ata! Nothing gets a hungry Pi?ata's candiosity up like a sweet, yummy caramel apple! Players bob their way through Caramel Apple Gobble taking big bites out of the fruit, chewing it up as fast as they can to be the first one done. Or they can squeal with delight as they tackle Blown Away ? a game of hot potato unlike any other ? where they trick their pals into being the one left holding an exploding jack o' lantern.

Plus, gamers will love taking on the persona of several new characters in the Pi?ata line-up who are ready to get their game on:
- Meet Hailey Horstachio: There's only one way to describe Pi?ata Island's newest Spanish sensation, and that's "Muy Caliente!" No other Pi?ata combines style, glamour, and spice quite like Hailey Horstachio. Always seen at the right party with the right Pi?ata at the right time, Hailey's already established herself as a super-chic fashion icon who sets the trend every time she steps out on the scene. She's also a great athlete, and believes winning the competition will launch her star into the stratosphere, while also reminding another certain Horstachio that there's a new horsey on the block.
- Meet Petunia Pretztail: Petunia may appear soft-spoken and well-mannered, but buried beneath that quiet exterior is a karate-chopping, kung-fu-fighting thrill seeker. Since arriving on Pi?ata Island from the Land of the Rising Sun, Petunia's daredevil-may-care antics have made quite an impression, good and bad. Some, like Paulie, find her aggressive streak a little intimidating, while others, like BFF Hailey Horstachio, appreciate her live-in-the-moment attitude towards life. Ultra-competitive and always up for a new challenge, Petunia can't wait to test her skills in the competition, score a big victory, and hopefully score some one-on-one time with a certain brainy Pretztail.
