In case you're not familiar with this lovely series, you may want to read through my reviews of the first and the second one before you continue reading.

At the start of Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3?! our chef loses his world class restaurant (again!) but instead of rebuilding (again!!) this time he fires up a food truck and go across war torn futuristic USA to attend an Iron Cook Foodtruck Championship. He is not alone in this endeavour, help robots Cleaver and Whisk are here to accompany our hero along the way, both awesomely voice acted.

Since we are not in a restaurant anymore, that means a slightly different approach to gameplay this time, but fear not, this is a CSD game all the way, maybe even the best one yet! You travel from state to state, choosing which way to take through each area and its sub-areas (or you just play every single one like I do). Every road taken is a single level where you have a number of stops to make and serve a good number of local populace at each one. Between the stops you'll be preparing food for holding stations and fulfilling special orders which in first part of the game appear only in between stops. Once you're past all the stops the day is done and you get a gold (perfect), silver (up to 8 mistakes total) or bronze (up to 15 BIG mistakes) medal.

The progress is done via YUM levels. After each day you earn money depending on how many foods you have served, multiplied by food complexity and the biggest combo of perfectly done orders in a row. When you accumulate enough money you get a DING and receive a single upgrade point each level. You spend money on acquiring new foods and upgrade points on improving various areas of your truck.

All foods from CSD1&2 are here and there are bunch of new ones as well. Learning and mastering them all is a great fun by itself and I URGE YOU to read the description of each food origin, these are the funniest moments in the game, written in astonishingly hilarious way. As for the food truck upgrades, they are done in a "research tree" manner and some upgrades can be turned on or off as you see fit. You'll definitely need them as the game progresses and levels become harder when modifiers like impatient customers, attacks from other food trucks, VIP orders etc. kick in.

Speaking of difficulty, CSD3 may be the easiest one in the series. Don't get me wrong, even though you still have to be super quick, precise and concentrated all the time if you want gold medals, getting silver medals is not that hard and I was mostly getting them on my first try. This is for the most part because of the addition of SERVE ALL button, which is of great help and practically eliminates those mistakes when you hit the wrong order key. Also, most importantly there are no more chores, hell yeah, hated those so much in the previous game(s)!

Visually the game is close to CSD2 and could be labeled as its slight upgrade. Soundtrack is definitely the best in the series with the main theme song being incredibly catchy. You'll probably be singing it in the shower, unconsciously or on purpose...that's your choice. xD

After more than 40h spent in game, I'm about 60% done and loving it every kilometer of the rubble-covered way. So far, I have only one teeny-tiny problem with the game. The orders can be somewhat hard to recognize when they have impatient/angry customer graphical effect on them. Can cause a tactical decision problem sometimes, that's all.

This is supposed to be the final installment of an awesome series, and if that's true the end is indeed one huge cake with a ton of cherries on top and we'll be eating it for a long time with absolute joy. :)
