In 1982, no one could have guessed that the premise behind Burgertime would eventually give birth to an entire genre. Don’t even fight it — cooking has become a genre in the world of videogames.
Today, Zoo Games has announced the SuperVillain Studios developed Order Up!, a Wii exclusive title set to hit stores on July 22. The game puts you under the toque of an up-and-coming chef on the fictional island of Port Abello. Players will not only make the food, but Order Up! will bring a "sim" element to the genre, as players build a restaurant from the ground up. We’re talking obnoxious customers, food critics, health inspectors … it’s going to be just like having a real job, except no one gets paid and no one eats any food. All for $39.99.
It’s an interesting premise — Cooking Mama meets The Sims meets Diner Dash. SuperVillain have been known mostly for their ports (flOw to the PSP, for example), but they’ve shown that they have a solid development team. If anything, it looks like they’re at least making an effor to design a fleshed out, interesting experience for the Wii, which is more than a lot of teams can say.
