My Little Restaurant

Qubic games offers us its take on the time management restaurant sim. This genre has been heavily saturated, mainly being played on cell phones and ipods. Nevertheless, we have one here for our DSi and DSi XLs.

The title screen, and the animations leading up to it, are a little basic, certainly generic. I found it interesting that you could choose to be a boy or girl waitress. And that's how it begins. Your uncle asks you to come work in his restaurant, because you show extreme lack of insight. As you progress through the levels, things become increasingly complex (ie, delivering water, playing music to comfort). As you can imagine chaos ensues and when I play this game a lot of people starve.

I had some trouble with the sensitivity of the touch screen. Many times I would drag a group to a certain table, and if I was dead on accurate, it would send them back to the line. This was, as you can imagine, a damning problem because once things get crazy it really hampered my sense of initiative. As in... I got frustrated a lot.

I fought my way through 3rd level and after "American" themes and "Japanese" as well, I just couldn't get into this title. There was no solid mechanic or even gimmick that stuck out or was interesting.

For fans of this genre, it may be worth a peak. But for gamers on the fence about which time management sim to try (or just trying to waste sme DSi points in general) this could probably be passed on.

1.6 out of 5.

Thanks for the review ZeldAnTales. Not sure if QubicGames is gonna like this one, but it's the brutally honest truth. I hope they take what you wrote and try to build on that to make their next game that much better.

You're review can be found HERE and HERE.

I know, I was iffy on writing it because I wouldn't want them to not have us review games for them anymore, but it really was generic shovelware lets be serious.

Remote Racers was a damn fine game, I had a lot of fun and still play it once or twice a week. This one will be subjected to staying on a dusty SD card of no return...
