2.0 out of 5 stars Nothing like the real Coldstone, December 18, 2009

This review is from: Coldstone Scoop It Up (Video Game)

This game is just like any other cheap game. Simple minigames get so boring. When I saw "Coldstone" I was like "OMG! It's probably exactly like working at a real Coldstone where you get to measure and mix ice cream, sing songs for tips, make milkshakes and smoothies and coffee drinks, and make and decorate cakes. No instead, it's a game where you play minigames, put together a sundae, and scoop ice cream. Coldstone doesn't SCOOP ice cream! That's crazy! Coldstone is known for their mixing so a game about Coldstone Creamery should be a game about mixing ice cream and then putting it in a container.

TLDR: Don't buy it. Instead, just go to Coldstone Creamery and buy ice cream. It's much more satisfying.

Here at Coldstone we sing songs, doodah, doodah. Mixing ice cream all day long, oh doodah day.

1.0 out of 5 stars Coldstone Creamery: Shovel It Up, January 1, 2010

= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Coldstone Scoop It Up (Video Game)

This shovel ware has about as much depth and level of presentation as an average web flash game.

The game play consists mainly of scooping ice cream and placing a topping according to the picture above each customer, which consists of roughly five flat humanoid shapes. When you run out of ingredients, you make some more by waggling.

That's essentially the entire game. As you earn money, you also get to buy bigger containers, which thankfully means you have enough ingredients to stop waggling for more as you repeat the same game play over and over. The game is so repetitive that you will soon never want to hear the three phrases "thank you", "nice", and "good job" ever again!

The game does have one fairly unique thing about it, and that's the use of two Wii remotes for control. You CAN play with one remote, but with two, they simulate both of hands: one to pick up the cone or bowl, the other to scoop the ice cream. Using two Wii remotes is an idea I have only seen in one or two other games.

Finally, things I learned about Coldstone Creamery from this game:

1) No matter where in the world you open your Coldstone Creamery, there is always another one across the street from you.

2) Coldstone Creamery is REALLY expensive. An order of ice cream can easily cost you over $100!

3) Being a Coldstone Creamery franchisee is REALLY expensive. You have to pay the corporate office thousands of dollars for the privilege of having a larger ice cream container.

4) This game might have made a passable promotional freebie, but there is no way I can recommend anyone spending money on this game.

4.0 out of 5 stars Affordable, simple, but fun., January 18, 2011

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Coldstone Scoop It Up (Video Game)

This game is not a highly advanced, edge of your seat thriller. It's meant for simple family fun and that's what the game delivers. The point is to prepare delicious sundaes, ice cream cones, etc to satisfy customers and earn new recipes. There are also mini games to play in a party setting.

I'm not very far into the game just yet, but it's a fun alternative to serious games or physically involved games like Wii Fit. It's not a great game, but it's not horrible. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because it was only $10 at Wal-Mart and I thought it was worth the money
