I think its pretty lame that it got so many awards for such a sucky game.
Viva Piñata was nominated for 6 awards by the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences for its 10th annual awards covering 2006,[17] the most nominations a Rare title has had since Goldeneye 007. Nominated categories included:
Console Game of the Year
Outstanding Innovation in Gaming
Outstanding Achievement in Art Direction
Outstanding Achievement in Character Performance - Female (won)
Outstanding Achievement in Visual Engineering
Family Game of the Year
The game had also been nominated for "Best Original Game" in X-Play's "Best Video Games of 2006" awards.[18]
