 My son loves it November 24, 2008
My eight year old son has a lot of fun with this game. It's just challenging enough that he doesn't get bored, but not too hard, that he doesn't get frustrated.
Love this game! October 30, 2008
This game is so much fun! I think after playing cooking mama (which is also fun, but not NEARLY as fun as this) I had low expectations, and it was a blast!
Even younger kids (6 and up) will love it. And it teaches them about multitasking and running a business.
GREAT GAME!
 Game is too short, but, fun while it lasts October 12, 2008
This is similiar to cooking mama, but, more restaurant style - if you like games where you move to mimic the actions, you'll like this one too.
Excellent September 24, 2008
This is an excellent game. I am 33, and enjoy playing on Hard mode (no progress bar on food done-ness) about half an hour every night. It imitates the multi-tasking of real cooking, and it made me more enthusiastic about it. Last night I pan-fried salmon in real life--the thin filet came out overcooked, and the the thick one came out the best I've ever cooked it. Do I owe it to Order Up? Well, I enjoy game cooking and real cooking now.
Keep in mind that, in the game:
- All recipes have a prepared ingredient list ready for you to drag out (you cannot add the wrong ingredients--although you can add all the wrong spices). You do not have to remember recipes, in general.
- Special dishes already have a pre-set list of spices (salt, pepper, etc.) that "work"; you don't get a bonus for adding a spice to something the game isn't programmed for as a bonus (i.e., adding salt to fried eggs gives you nothing, unless it's part of a special recipe already or you are cooking for the guy who likes salty food)
- You have an infinite stock of free ingredients (except spices which you have to buy); there is no penalty if you throw away five filet mignon's in a row.
- It takes forever to check if Ned has special ingredients for you. You can't skip many filler animations. This is probably the worst part of the game.
- You have a lot of time to finish an order, actually. You don't need to rush.
- To peel lettuce, hold down B and swish the control back and forth.
- The opening isn't flashy and gave me a low budget feel when I first started playing, but the gameplay is excellent.
- In Hard mode, besides not having a progress meter, cooking doesn't pause when you are adding spices. This is better, IMO. Not having to watch the meter gives you a more instinctive feel of cooking.
I am embarrassed to say that I consider myself a "serious gamer" too.
good game September 18, 2008
this game is good, It is not for the young
I am a sometimes gamer and It's a little hard for me but after a couple of tries I got it. Takes a little time to get used to the turns that you have to do and the movements the control has. hope this helps
