Review

Welcome to Pizza Manager, a fun and addictive tycoon pizzeria game where you run a small pizzeria and serve and make pizzas to gain customer popularity. Besides running your pizzeria you’ll gain the ability to learn new pizzas and play mini games. You’ll also have to shop for appliances, ingredients, new pizzeria layouts and advertisements to boost your popularity. Story mode also means you’ll be assigned tasks by characters, if these tasks are not completed then its game over. When controlling Chino you will have to serve customers then prepare their particular choice of pizza and bring it out to them. There are 18 different pizzas in total in the game, with each requiring different ingredients making it a challenge for players to learn new pizzas and serve customers fast and efficiently.

In Endless Mode players will only have to worry about raising as much money as they can and keeping customers happy. Over time difficulty will increase with more customers wanting to be served and less time to attend to each one individually. If you lose too many customers then it’s game over, making this a challenging mode for players to enjoy.

Either mode is quite entertaining and will keep players entertained for hours. Story mode does feature some nice mini games such as sorting ingredients at the local supermarket or setting off fireworks. When these mini games are completed players will earn rewards and it also helps to stop the game from becoming repetitive. It also features a nice storyline that goes together quite nicely with twists and turns along your path to success.

Graphics and sounds also blend well together, with some nice overall sound effects. There is no music, though the sound effects of pizzas sizzling and cooking gives the game a nice touch. Graphics are kept simple but still are quite good, with several different ingredients to use and items to buy, players can customize their pizzeria and pizzas.

Conclusion

To wrap up Pizza Manager, I believe that it’s an enjoyable game and most gamers should give it a try.
