Viva Pinata Demo Showers Candy on Xbox Live

It's Friday, so why not put a little fiesta in your afternoon? The Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise demo is now available on Xbox Live.

Xbox Live spokesman Major Nelson reports that the demo for Rare's Xbox 360-exclusive pinata-breeder just arrived, but this time the game sports cooperative play (2 players on one console, 4 on Xbox Live), mini-games, and Xbox Live Vision support.

A full description of the demo, courtesy the Major, follows:

The Pinata Central database has been ruined by Professor Pester and his band of Ruffians. It's your job to restore the data by collecting, customizing, & caring for over 100 different pinata species in Viva Pinata: Trouble In Paradise. Professor Pester has plans of his own to slow this process down. New features include: 2 person coop on one console, and 4 person coop over Xbox Live. Ability to compete in mini-games with your Pinata against others on Xbox Live. Over 100 Pinata from various realms including the new Polar Pinarctic & Dessert Desert. Photo Mode ability to share your amazing garden with everyone online. Pinata Vision allowing you to invite new species to your garden with the flash of a card at your Xbox Live Vision Camera.
