Cake Mania 3 Review
Posted by Anne ScotchGuard Ross, 180 days ago

The graphics are quite cartoony but should appeal to both kids and adults. It is primarily pitched at us girlies, you even get the option to dress Jill in different outfits,but I think the guys could have fun with this also.

In regards to sound there’s music to suit the surroundings of where Jill finds herself, though the repetitive nature of some of the music can be a bit annoying after a while. The music on the Chinese levels can grate on your nerves a bit and is definitely an acquired taste.

Cake Mania 3 is a basic PC Point-and-Click action game but trying to keep everything going at once can prove challenging. Easy controls make it easier to concentrate on what you have to do.  I personally would have not been able to handle lots of buttons and special moves as well.   I am sure with time and practice you should be able to perfect your time management and have lots of fun.

Considering I played this title on my laptop with a touchpad it was a fair amount of fun and would only be made better by an actual mouse and a widescreen. As the game is available directly from Sandlot Games for $19.99 it seems like it’s well worth the price and time to download.

 Our Rating for Cake Mania 3 Review
9.0
Replay
I would happily go back and play this game again, as each time it could be played slightly differently.
7.0
Graphics
Cartoony but cool with a good amount of variation and interesting things to see. Pretty slick for a Cake Mania title. Interesting art style and characters
5.0
Sound
Not much variation in the music and some of it was simply annoying. Sure it suited the surroundings but it could have been so much more.
8.0
Gameplay
Fun, challenging, and easy to control. That’s about everything one wants in a more casual game.

N/A
8.5
Overall
Entertaining game all said and done. Well worth the time and money and maintains the quality of the earlier titles. Could use some better, more varied music to kill the monotony and annoyance factor.

Maybe it is just the resolution of the screenshots, but they looked worse than the orignal to me. I can definately tell it’s a diferent style. I only got the play the original for a couple of minutes, but I remember it being suprisingly fun. That’s right...I said I enjoyed it. Haha
