Taco Master
SCORE: 83
When I think about the iPhone/iPod Touch
platform I think about time management games. The iPad is also getting
its fair share of the genre. Taco Master is a time management game where
you get to fill taco orders. Patrons arrive with their taco orders, and
you fulfill them. Like every other time management game Taco Master
starts extremely easy. It then gets more difficult as more things are
added.
The visuals in Taco Master are grainy. I thought I was running a real
taco stand. The only thing that was missing was a few flies. The
characters in Taco Master are ethnic in a way that will make you think
about tacos. There are diverse opinions on that - whether it is a good
thing or a bad thing. I will leave that up to you and your family.
The music in Taco Master is really cool. I was listening to it, and the
various sound effects and felt like Chillingo got it right. The music
brings forth fond memories. Then we get to eat some tacos. My bad, we
make the tacos and others eat them. Career mode will keep most busy, but
once you are done with that then you can move into arcade and timed
attack. These will provide you with your ninety-nine cents worth in my
opinion.
The game play mechanics in Taco Master are very simple. Tap the order to
see what needs to be built. Then select the various ingredients to
create the taco that matches the order. Finally move the taco to the
order. Do this for every single customer. The more orders you fulfill
the better your score. Don't get enough and you have to replay the
level. Or you could put your device down, pick up a protest sign and
march around. I doubt it will produce the desired result but you will
probably expend some energy.
The core lesson in Taco Master is serving others. Doing that service
well, and at a brisk pace. Businesses constantly talk about doing a
good, and thorough job that is also done fast. Cutting corners hurts
companies. Taco Master teaches to do everything to the best of your
ability. I have played a nice array of time management games in my life.
Taco Master is one of the most interesting that I have played.
