Video Game Reviews of Cake Mania
Customer Review: An addicting slice of fun!
Summary: 4 Stars
I have played this game online and really liked it. When I found out that it was available for the DS, I bought it straight away. I have beaten the game several times in the 3 months I have had it, yet something keeps bringing me back! Cake Mania lends itself well to the DS touch screen, and frankly, it is very addicting! Even my husband, who has a short attentions span when it comes to video games, and prefers the shoot-em-up variety anyways, has had a blast with this one. Wonderful for kids and adults alike. The graphics are not especially pristine - it is a simple game after all, but the replay-ability definitely makes it worthwhile. Enjoy! Customer Review: Cake Mania

Think your'e organized? Well, Cake mania puts you through the paces of a bakery store owner and I take the CAKE! This is such a fun challenging game, might I even admit somewhat addicting? Cake Mania is by far the most fun and challenging game I have ever played. I would highly recommend this game to anyone, especially those who can take the heat...if not get out of the kitchen!Customer Review: Superly Duperly Fun and Kinda Hard
Summary: 4 Stars
I really like it, but it's kinda hard. It might just be my screen, but sometimes when I press something, it dosen't work. And some times I just get frustrated with it.Customer Review: Don't expect it to be exactly like the computer game
Summary: 3 Stars
I initially got hooked on Cake Mania when playing it at Yahoo games and when it was available for Nintendo DS, I was so excited that I pre-ordered the game. When I finally got it a few weeks later, I was pretty disappointed as it wasn't as fun as playing it on the computer. First of all, because the screen is so small, whenever Jill moves from one end of the kitchen to another, the screen moves with it causing me to hit the wrong frosting color/cake shape/cake topping icon. Secondly, I think there's a bug in the program because the game will crash in the middle of a session or it'll fail to recognize that I picked up the cash for a customer, leaving the spot filled.
All in all, this is a fun game (hence the 3 stars) but you'll be sorely disappointed if you expect it to be an exact replica of the computer game.
Customer Review: Shallow, repetitive, and hardly any fun at all
Summary: 2 Stars
Cake Mania isn't the first flash game to find itself on the DS, nor the first game to feature a look at the culinary arts. Regardless of either fact, Cake Mania is a game that is shallow, repetitive, and overall not very fun. Playing as a girl named Jill, your mission is to run your bakery and perform tasks such as baking, serving the orders of customers, and the like. All this is done by tapping the touch screen with the stylus when various icons appear. It sounds easy, but Cake Mania features a startling level of difficulty that may surprise those who had blasts of fun with Cooking Mama. Not to mention that the sheer monotony of it all weighs in more frustration than anything else, which kills what could have been a fun concept. The game looks good with bright and colorful graphics and animations, and the game features a bargain price tag to boot, but with the repetitive and shallow gameplay, and zilch in terms of multiplayer features as well (which actually would have been welcome here), Cake Mania just isn't worth the headaches. All in all, fans of games like Cooking Mama and such may want to give Cake Mania a look, but don't say you weren't warned.
