PlayStation 2 Curry House Simulator Rated

Thanks to NTSC-UK for its review of PlayStation 2 sim Curry House CoCo Ichibanya, explained as "essentially a simulator of how to work in a curry house." The Japanese-only title, in a similar vein to the previously mentioned Yoshinoya Beef Bowl videogame, makes a game of meal construction: "An order for a person can consist of as little as rice and curry, or can be as complex as rice, curry, chilli sauce, topping and a side order. Each component of the meal requires a certain task to be completed." The reviewer enjoys the title, but notes that there may be "not quite enough to keep you playing", quipping: "In real life, if you get bored you can play 'Which customer will notice the fingernail in their meal', but this virtual simulation obviously doesn't let you do it."

    Luckly, my Japanese wife can make it with the best of them! The best type can be made with those cubes you melt into hot water, and can be bought here in the states.

    Speaking of McD, while living in Japan, i went there, and asked to add lettuce to my hamburger (which sell for 30 yen!). The lady turned around, and asked her manager, who then replied 'No'. Pengiuns at their best.
