Order Up! (WII)
Order Up! Review
Order Up puts the “short” back in “short-order cook,” but virtual cooking has never been more engaging.
The Good
Simple, responsive controls Great balance of cooking and pacing challenges Fun visual style Good variety of recipes.
The Bad
Too few restaurants in which to ply your trade No two-player cook-off.
Recently, a handful of full retail games have been devoted to emulating the challenges of food preparation, and Order Up is the latest of these games to embrace the Wii’s motion-sensitive controls. As a short-order cook in Order Up, you to use the Wii Remote not only to slice, grate, and cook food, but to prepare up to four dishes simultaneously and plate them all in a timely fashion. The challenge of accurately prepping each ingredient while coordinating multiple dishes is highly engaging, and you’ll find yourself hungry for more after completing this delicious, but not quite filling, game.
