Stand O'Food 3
SCORE: 80
G5 Entertainment may be the king of time management games. Stand
O'Food 3 is a game I have been playing on the iPad. You build burgers
and other sandwiches for the clients. There are a lot of different
sauces players can use. Different customers prefer a different taste on
their food. Then you get to add in things like fries, drinks, and ice
cream. There are eighteen sauces, thirty-one ingredients, and
twenty-five cafes. All of this in seventy-five levels.
The shine in the graphics of Stand O'Food 3 is astounding. I can not
believe how good Stand O'Food 3 looks. The graphics are amazing. The
items look great, and there is an amazing attention to detail. Customers
look different, the cafes look different, and so on. I felt like that
was a place I could eat at. Well without the conveyor belts which are
there to add a little twist to the game play.
The music in Stand O'Food 3 is adequate. The special effect sounds for
doing things right is great. The sounds for doing something wrong is not
so great. That brings up a little quibble of mine. If I do something
wrong in the order I can't serve the customer. Why not? Why not have me
serve the customer and get half of the money or something? I would like
to serve them but get financially punished. Having to set it aside or
trash it does not feel right.
There are enough levels to keep time management gamers busy for a few
weeks. I am not clear on the price since Family Friendly Gaming was
provided the game before the official street date. I am guessing two to
three dollars. The conveyor belt is either loved or adored by those
playing Stand O'Food 3. I am about ready to get into that.
I am not a fan of the conveyor belt in Stand O'Food 3. I understand the
game play mechanic of making the burgers just right. But the order seems
to come out in a way that is supposed to slow the player down. This led
me to more frustration than you can imagine. I am also not a fan of how
the money system works. I spent almost all my money refilling sauces and
machines. This allowed me little opportunity to upgrade things. The
costs of things in Stand O'Food 3 are expensive. Like being in New York
City or Los Angeles.
The lesson in Stand O'Food 3 is serving others. There is also a lesson
about being successful. I do not get a sense that the main character is
content with the level of success. I love the concept of teaching fast,
efficient, and accurate service. There are some in the food sector who
need to know that lesson. I am not sure if they will be playing Stand
O'Food 3 though. I know when I cut hair the last thing I wanted to play
was a hair related video game.
