Cake Mania


A big PC cake squeezes into a tiny DS oven and loses its shape in the process

We have other quibbles, but the big problem with Cake Mania is absolutely the screen size and resolution issue. What looks and plays great on a PC screen and mouse cannot be moved to the DS screen and stylus without real redesign consideration - which this didn't get. Moving the customers' happiness meters to the top screen isn't enough, and this failing takes a big bite out of the action (and for the record, this reviewer has better than 20/20 vision). It's disappointing: you'd think that a game about baking would know a little more about when it's necessary to substitute ingredients.
