Original still the best for me

I just loved the first Cake Mania, but trialling 2 & 3 didn't make me want to buy either of them. I didn't find any different dimensions in them to the original. Also Cake Mania 3 froze my computer and I had to re-boot it which put me off even more.
Bit of a disappointment, but that's cool - I can still play the original.

I'm a big fan of the original as well, didn't like 2 much at all but I'm enjoying 3. There are some new things (which may be variations on 2--didn't buy that one so I only know what happened in the trial . . .) but the characters and power ups are different, sometimes quite difficult. For example, in the Ancient Egypt part of the game, a character appears who will transform other customers into mummies. This didn't strike me as being that big of a deal, until I discovered that it changes their orders as well. Yeah . . . so you could be making two two-layer cakes and find out that neither is needed anymore . . . Yes, there are things you can do to minimize this disruption but, hey, that's part of the challenge, huh?

I too liked 1 the best...bought 2 but really don't care for it....3 is alright and will probably wind up buying it...Think sequel games are like sequel movies the first is the best. Now I didn't find this to be the case with the turbo games.....Pizza was great if a bit short....Subs even better....Fiesta better yet....Go figure..

Cake Mania 3 has mini games too, which were not a part of either of it's predecessors. I think that CM3 is the best in the series so far considering all the stuff that actually is new in this one... the items in each world that are lil helpers, the "changing" of your customers (also happens in the fairytale land, the witches turn your customers into monkeys, which changes their orders)... PLUS there are two additional bonuses you can use once per level.

The "sugar rush" is also brand new. I think it's great just how much they've actually expanded this game!

I agree with you, orlandomiki! The turbo games just got better each time too... Fiesta was a blast!

I liked all 3 CM games, but 3 is more fun

I loved that game but sadly I only got to play one level
