It has now become a mini-goal for me to review every nintendo game in the archive, because frankly, I haven't seen enough reviews.

Now, onto the review:
Panic Restaurant is a run-of-the-mill action platformer. If you've played Mario 3 or Warioland, you've been here and done that. As a little chef guy with a keebler-elf hat, it is your job to reclaim your restaurant, ""EaTen,"" (no joke.) from the Wa-Luigi-ish villian, OHDOVE.

Graphics: 6
All the graphics are clear and crisp, and all the sprites are well animated.

Sound: 6
Slightly better than the norm, but can get repetitive. You'll probably spend half the time listening to the cool little ditty that plays whenever your chef-guy dies.

Gameplay: 5
Your enemies include weiners, carrots, pizzas and ice cream, and you use weapons like a frying pan, a spoon, a giant spork, or a dish. Of course, half the time, it doesn't really matter what weapon you have because A.) they're pretty much the same, and B.) whenever you get hit, you always go back to using the frying pan.

Overall: 6
It's not a wasted experience, but it's way too short.

I wonder if OHDOVE is related to CATS from Zero-Wing. Listen to their ramblings and even you will begin to wonder.
