Piñata Party Animals on Live

Microsoft wants you to celebrate the weekend with a bunch of papery garden dwellers, as it makes a new Live demo for Viva Piñata Party Animals available.

It bumbles around the place at 971.17MB, and aims to give you and up-to three chums a good old eyeful of the mini-game compilation based on the animated television series - part of the franchise-building madness that brought us really rather good Rare offering Viva Piñata.

Party Animals is due out this Christmas and boasts over 40 mini-games in total. These will have you doing all sorts of bizarre things like racing around town, burping boats down a stream, and smashing up innocent gardens.

Head over to our Viva Piñata Party Animals gamepage for more information.
