Cakemania 2 Review

We got asked to play and review a "game for girls" , Rob (Kurtas) recomendation was for a game called Cakemania 2.

Cakemania is a game which is meant to be aimed for girls, the basis of the game is to fufil customers needs,
The game starts off with a very bright and colourful title screen, cartoon looking, which leads to the menu screen its laid out easy to navigate with 3 buttons a play button, a download cakemania (full version) and a options button.

The options menu is very basic with a sound volume slider which controls the music and sound, and high detail button for the graphics.

When you click the play button you are taking to a comic style introduction with the story for the game, after your gone through the story introduction you are presented a choice to how to start your game, either choice you make its still the same game with a different background.
There isn't any music for the game, just some basic sounds for instance, oven baking cakes and pinging and money jingling.

The gameplay is that you make the cakes put icing on them then give them to the customer, in return they give you money, you do this till you hit your money goal for the level and the level end's, you then get a choice of buying new equipment such as new icing's, cake shapes, a tray to display cakes and other things. There is a map for choosing level's these unlock as your progress through the game.

Overall - I Think the game isn't specifically for girls, I think anyone interested in micro-managerment would enjoy playing it, I think Kids would enjoy playing it for the bright colourful graphics, I think it would turn off most teen and older males as it's not really a style most males that age play, I also Think the game gets very repeatative for a older audience mostly males, It tends to get boring very fast, although a older female audience would enjoy playing it to pass sometime.
