GI.net: "This is a single-player game, though onlookers are generally happy to backseat cook while they watch you play. Order Up! has both a story mode and a quick play mode. Unfortunately, you have to unlock the different venues in story mode before you can access them in quick play, other than you do have access to the starting restaurant.
I was happy to see that Order Up! has four potential save-game slots. This meant I could start a game from the beginning without disturbing the game my daughter already had going. I also got to pick Normal or Hard for the level of difficulty. I picked Normal.
Once I've started my game, I'm in a small plane on my way to the island of Port'Abello. I get to choose whether I want to be a boy chef or a girl chef. This is the extent of your character customization, but at least you get a choice - and really, for this kind of game, who needs to customize the appearance of your character anyway? It's not like you'll be looking at yourself in the mirror while you're cooking. In either case, through the game, your character is simply referred to as "Chef."
From the review: "While minor issues exist with the game's controls and 3D-enabled visuals, the majority of gameplay features have been significantly improved for the handheld experience. With its low asking price and extensive amount of content, Order Up!! will easily occupy numerous hours with preparing dishes and managing restaurants. Order Up!! delivers an addictive and charming gameplay experience that should be on the menu for both beginner and experienced chefs."
Darryl Linington from ITF Gaming writes: Developed by SuperVillain Studios and published by Fun Box Media, Order Up is the latest restaurant/management simulator to grace the PlayStation 3. While Order Up was originally released on the Nintendo Wii back in 2008, we ask, does its PlayStation 3 counterpart live up to expectations… or does it simply just chargrill the those beautiful omelettes that would of tasted great, but somehow caught fire due to a lazy chef? Let’s find out!
Marcia Webb of The Married Gamers reviews Order Up!, the latest 3DS restaurant management game you are sure to enjoy. How does this game compare to some of the more popular cooking games though? Read on to find out!
