Order Up! Review

The only thing keeping this game from getting 5 stars is sometimes the motion controls lag a little bit, but not enough to take away from the game as a whole. I wish I could give it a 4.5 on that note. The premise is simple. You start at a fast food place to learn, then buy a diner. You have to keep making more and better food to climb up the ranks and eventually own a fine dining resteraunt that you must build up to having a 5 star reputation. Overall,aside from occasional lag, the motion controls work great and Order Up is by far the best cooking game I've played on Wii if you're looking for a true to life experience. Although the food cooks a lot quicker than real life it is very close to actual cooking and the game is loaded with kid-friendly humor. I recommend this game for anyone who loves cooking and is looking for a unique experience on the Wii. And with the family friendly nature of this game it is also a very good buy for children that are budding chefs. I haven't played any other cooking games but this one and Hell's Kitchen, but this one is much more realistic on the cooking part (Hell's Kitchen is really just timing) and is a stand out title. The price is also great, but makes me worry because a great game like this should not get so few of sales. Overall, if you want a great cooking game that actually focuses on cooking, get this game!

Beyond the core, game play includes rising through the ranks of the culinary world from fast-food to world-class restaurants as chef and owner while ever-expanding your cookbook of recipes and ever-improving the quality of your equipment. Along the way you will face demanding patrons, discriminating food critics…and at the pinnacle of your fame in the world of fine cuisine you will be invited to complete in the, "Fortified Chef World Challenge" - an Iron Chef-style cooking competition.
