iCarly Groovy Foodie
SCORE: 91
Paul tells me about a variety of games he
sees at E3 that he thinks I will enjoy. He is almost always right. But I
don't want him to get a big head, so sometimes I question if a game will
actually be fun. This is what I did with iCarly Groovy Foodie. It
sounded like a time management game that would agitate me to no end.
As I started playing iCarly Groovy Foodie I could tell it was something
special. Yes this is a time management game - like so many on the
iPhone/iPod Touch. But iCarly Groovy Foodie is a Nintendo DS title. And
a really good one. We can have up to five lines of patrons. We pick what
food item is created, and when it is done we send it down the
appropriate line.
iCarly Groovy Foodie mixes together a couple of different styles in
terms of graphics. There are live images of the characters from the
television show, and then art and animation of the game. These blend
together wonderfully. I love the service aspect of iCarly Groovy Foodie.
We are doing everything we can to satisfy the patrons. If we fail, they
leave. No ugliness, no nastiness - they just leave.
The music in iCarly Groovy Foodie is fantastic. I love listening to this
game while playing it. The ding of the bell when something is ready
snapped my attention back to where it was needed. Which was a very good
thing. I appreciate how the girls are fixing one of their mistakes. They
are making things right - which is a great lesson to the current
generation.
Points are earned in every level played. Those points are used to
purchase upgrades. Many of the upgrades in iCarly Groovy Foodie make the
game easier. Trust me you will need it at some point. iCarly Groovy
Foodie brings the pressure to the player in a slow boil. Things get more
difficult the more you play. So those power ups are definitely needed.
Frantic mayhem and insanity is the best way to describe the game play in
iCarly Groovy Foodie. In some levels I held on just long enough to
successfully complete them. Others I was a master of the food, and all
of the patrons. I hope to see more games like iCarly Groovy Foodie in
the near future. It was a pleasure for me to play and review this hand
held video game.
