    Order Up! might not be a five-star restaurant, but it still serves up a hearty meal. [Sept 2008, p.86]

    Fun while it lasts. Order Up! makes the idea of owning and running a restaurant fun – even if the reality is a less riveting story.

    Order Up! is an inexplicably fun affair and gamers with an uncalloused heart will find it difficult to resist its addictive nature and endearing charm.

    Got charm for miles, and that’s a lesson many, many games could stand to learn.

    Even though there are a lot of games like it, Order Up! really surprised me in the end as being very competent and fun.

    If you have a Wii and are looking for a simple fun game to keep you entertained go out and rent Order Up! but for someone looking to buy this one won’t keep you busy for long.

    Order up! offers both variation in gameplay, as well as interesting use of the Wii-Mote. The game is challenging, and thus entertaining for a while. It proves that casual games can be fun, albeit for a certain amount of time.

    I applaud Zoo Games and SuperVillian Studios for packing a great deal of charm and humor into Order Up!, from the edgy style to the free chef hat.

This game is able to take all of the main features from the Cooking Mama series and make it much better. Unfortunately, the game is really short with only four restaurants to manage, meaning it does not have a lot of replay value. However, if you are looking for an alternative to the Cooking Mama series, then this is certainly the game to get but don't expect to be playing for a long time.… Full Review »

It is a lot more in-depth that the Cooking Mama series which is good and you actually get to manage your own restaurant which is even better.
