[/h1] Overview:
3rd game in the cook, serve, delicious series. A wonderful addition to the series. Offers different experience than previous editions. You are a chef on a food truck, with two robot front of house employees; traveling across countries and feeding the people of the towns.

[/h1] Gameplay
[/h2] Mechanics:
The controls can be a bit complex when you get to harder levels; with either mouse or keyboard. Though I haven't used them, hot keys may be a good way to go for this game. I use the controller and it can be very difficult to get gold stars on some of the levels, depending on the menu.

[/h2] Objectives:
Travel across country, decorate your food truck, expand your menu, get medals for perfect levels, and upgrade your food truck.

[/h2] Difficulty:
Med/Hard. If you play this game trying to perfect all the levels or get all the achievements, it will be difficult. Some menu items are so complicated, and if you mess up 1 part of it, you will get a silver. You cannot throw ANYTHING away. However, if you play on Zen or don't mind silver, or bronze medals, it will be an easier game.

[/h1] Story and Characters
[/h2] Narrative:
Its a dystopian world and you are driving around in your food truck. Your robots as companions offer a nice story that tells you what happened in the states you visit.

[/h2] Characters:
Chef, Whisk, and Cleaver.

[/h1] Graphics and Sound
[/h2] Visuals:
Decent graphics, food looks amazing, love that when you add different ingredients you see them reflected onscreen.

[/h2] Audio:
The soundtrack is upbeat, and in time with in game situations. Sound effects are noticeable when items are going bad or when VIP orders come in.

[/h1] Performance
[/h2] Technical Issues:
The game has sometime crashed, but it saves often so that hasn't affected me. Other than that, I haven't encountered any bugs.

[/h2] Optimization:
Well-optimized, this game shouldn't have any issues on any system.

[/h1] Replayability
[/h2] Longevity:
The game has some replayability. Mostly to get better scores on levels. At the time of this review, I haven't completed the main story; however, I have put the game down several times and returned to it. You can also always replay the game with different menu items on levels. There are challenges later in the game; I have not unlocked this at this time, and I am in the 9th out of 12 states. There are also different modes you can play the levels on.

[/h1] Conclusion
[/h2] Overall Impression:
Strengths are that it is challenging. Weakness is that its sometimes too challenging. Even just adding the option to scratch an order would really help, though none of the CSD games have had this feature.

[/h2] Recommendation:
I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys restaurant simulation games, and a challenge. This game is worth the price on sale, or full price. You defiantly get your moneys worth in time, especially if your an achievement hunter, or perfectionist.

Rating
9/10 (difficulty makes me lower the score.
