Cake Mania In the Mix
SCORE: 86
The well known Cake Mania series has made it to the Wii in the form
of Cake Mania In the Mix. Jill is back and this time she gets to choose
the path she will take, and who she will help out. On one side she has
Jack (her old flame), and on the other side Risha (her college friend).
You get to help decide if she pursues love, or fame.
Most of the visuals in Cake Mania In the Mix are safe for the entire
family. The main female characters low cut blouse is noticeable, and
something my wife commented on. There are plenty of cake shapes included
in this Wii game, even the Christian fish symbol. There are various
strange looking customers that order up cakes. Cake Mania In the Mix
includes a lot of bright colors that are sure to be a crowd pleaser.
Cake Mania In the Mix has themed music that fits this Wii game quite
well. The ding of the oven made me feel like I was in a real kitchen.
The storyline of helping others, and having a choice on which path to
take resonated with me as well. I did not find any offensive language in
this Wii game the time I was playing it.
Cake Mania In the Mix has a lot of replay value to it. At first this
game starts out easy enough, but later in the game I felt like I was
managing chaos. Adding ovens, icing trays, and more kept me on my toes.
Cake Mania In the Mix includes cooperative play for more than one
player, and the ability to send cake creation greeting cards to friends
and family across WiiConnect24.
The simple controls of this Wii games are one of the things that make it
a lot of fun to play. Point at something and press 'A' to do one thing,
and press 'B' to do another. When 'A' is selected then multiple choices
come up (like what kind of a cake is wanted). This layout works great
for Cake Mania In the Mix. The only complaint I have is making one
mistake can mean the quota is not reached. I wish this game was a little
more forgiving.
Cake Mania In the Mix teaches multi-tasking, managing resources, and
helping others. These are excellent lessons that many people can use in
real life. Service is also one of the lessons, since the customers want
to be served. I suppose I should say fast service since the customers
are usually impatient. I enjoy this franchise, and would like to see
more Cake Mania video games.
