Cake Mania - 7/10

This is an excellent game - fun, easy to play and highly addictive! The graphics are cute and bright. You really could spend hours playing this game.
All in all, this is a fun, addictive little game which I think is worth every $$$! Although it could be a little more challenging, it's the kind of game you can play over and over again from start to finish, and never get bored.

When I say this game is easy to play, it may be a little too easy for hardcore gamers. Once you have completed Cake Mania itself, you unlock the Back to the Bakery expansion pack. However, this turned out to be a little disappointing as, although it is slightly more challenging than the original Cake Mania, it's quite unsatisfying as you can't really see much change in the appearance of the bakery after each level, except for a new carpet & a few vases of flowers! (The aim of Back to the Bakery is to earn money to redecorate the interior of the bakery).

Audio is extremely minimal across the entire Cake Mania experience. There's title screen music, gameplay music and some light voice-acting for the customer-distracting TV. Other than that, there's no voice or sound effects worth mentioning. The main gameplay and title screen music are serviceable, but hardly memorable and entirely ignored after playing for an hour or so.

It's a great candidate for DS's casual gamers Touch Generation line, though for some reason it's not officially labeled such. Regardless, Cake Mania started out and did big on the Internet. To only pay $20 for a portable version that includes both the full game and expansion really sweetens the deal. Puzzle fans and casual gamers looking for an affordable, quick game have a great option in Jill's bakery.

It just needs Multi player!!!
