The menu will open up a bit, with everything from the aforementioned burgers to country fried steak and French onion soup to steak and eggs. If you wait too long, you might overcook the meat (though, as you'll discover later in the game, some customers will prefer to have their meal slightly overcooked).Īfter you've finished the tutorial, you'll move on to your very own first restaurant, Gravy Chug, an old-fashioned, straightforward diner. Cooking the burger requires you to place the beef patty on the grill then pay attention to a heat meter that will tell you when your burger is ready to serve. Once they're done, you pull them out of the grease and then serve them up. To cook the fries, you dump the fries in the fryer, grab the basket with the B button, and make a downward motion to put them in the grease. To chop the tomatoes, you simply make a chopping motion with the controller. For example, when peeling lettuce for the burger, you'll need to grab the head of the lettuce with the B button then peel the leaves back individually. As you might expect from a Wii game, all of the cooking in Order Up is controlled by specific motions with the Wii Remote.

Your first stop will be at a fast food joint called Burger Face, which serves as the game's tutorial.Ī pimply-faced kid with a puberty-broken voice serves as your host (and boss) at Burger Face, teaching you the basics of cooking such simple meals as a hamburger. Before you get there, however, you'll walk the long, uphill road toward establishing yourself in the business. Your ultimate aim in the game is to win the 'Fortified Chef Competition,' the ultimate contest for local chefs that takes place on a cruise ship and serves as the game's final stage. You play an up-and-coming chef in Order Up, looking to make your name in Port Abello, an island town that is home to a bunch of foodies. We've had a chance to spend the last couple of days with this lighthearted look at the food business to see how it's coming along ahead of its July release.Ĭooking requires fresh ingredients, delicate timing, and a little spice to top it off in Order Up. While the immediate comparison to the Cooking Mama series is obvious, Order Up takes the idea of virtual cooking to the next level: Here, you're not just preparing meals, you're running a restaurant.

Welcome to the hectic world of Order Up, an upcoming cooking game for the Nintendo Wii from developer SuperVillain Studios. On top of all that, you're running low on spices and your sous chef just fell asleep on the job. You've got a four-top that's been waiting far too long, three tickets on the rack, and rats invading your kitchen.
