3.0 out of 5 stars Computer Version is Better, December 27, 2008

I have been playing Cake Mania on the computer for quite some time and I LOVE it. So I was very excited when I saw it was coming out for the Wii. I received it about 2 weeks ago and have played it for about 4 hours total. The graphics are nothing like they are on the computer. I have trouble seeing what the customers are ordering as some of the shapes look almost identical, especially when you get into the double layer cakes. It's harder to click on things, and in your chain of actions, you can only set one thing down before you have to wait to set another down. It's still an entertaining and adicting game. I just prefer the computer. I hope they come out with a 2 and 3 for the Wii, and do a better job on the graphics.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun game, the computer version is better...., January 8, 2009

Like the previous reviewer, I have been playing this game for quite some time on the computer and the Nintendo DS. So I was very excited when they announced this game for the Nintendo Wii. When I found out about it, I ran out and pre-ordered it from the local game store. Got it home and I was so excited to play! But to my disappointment, it was the exact same story line as Cake Mania 2 for the PC and Nintendo DS. I only played a couple of minutes because I knew exactly how it would end, as I had beaten it on the DS. The best thing about this game is the two player mode. My best friend and I once sat and played it for 4 hours straight. But (like the other reviewer stated), the cakes are so small that it is hard to tell what to make sometimes. The graphics really do need some improvement. I do hope for future Cake Mania games for the Wii, but with much better graphics.

3.0 out of 5 stars Oddly addicting, August 13, 2009

I haven't played the computer version. I find myself oddly addicted to this game - I can't stop "baking cakes". My husband can't figure out what the attraction is, but I find it very challenging. It's a game you can play casually, but at the same time you really have to concentrate to pass a level (month) and go on to the next one. As you earn money, you can purchase upgrades for your kitchen (once you get the top-level stove, boy does that thing go fast!). I wish there was another shoe upgrade because I wish she walked faster.

If you haven't played the computer version and can pick up a discounted/used version of this game, I'd recommend it - once you get the hang of it, it really cooks!
