PlayStation 2 Curry House Simulator Rated

Posted by simoniker on Sunday August 1, 2004 @05:11AM from the vindaloo dept.

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."

Hmm.. what about BurgerTime? Although, BurgerTime was slightly different in approach, but, very similar in flavor...

Japan, not in decline. by Taulin · 2004-08-01 05:50 · Score: 2, Insightful

Interesting, and very niche, games like these are coming out everyday in Japan, never leave their shores, and then we Americans think Japan's gaming is in decline?
I am happy to see these types of games getting more exposure, even if the original purpose of this thread was to poke a little fun at it.
While I lived in Japan, I bought every game like this, and had tons of fun because it wasn't the same old shooter or key hunt.
