"Nanny Mania" Review
Doing the laundry, picking up after kids, making beds, cleaning the bath tub, all are chores most of us have to do everyday. "Nanny Mania" is about just that. Don't dismiss it right away, it's actually not a bad game.Each day is started by the caretaker (in the first part of the game, it's the nanny) entering a messy house. Laundry will be strewn all over the house, sofa cushions may be messed up, and a few other things are in disarray. The mess will be worse with each level. Teens leave laundry everywhere. Toddlers spend their day knocking over lamps, messing up pillows, and taking books off shelves.
You start off with one baby, eventually end up caring for four children. It starts off easy one with baby. When the baby becomes a toddler, another baby comes along. The game adds on children at a slow pace. You have enough time to adjust and rethink your strategy at tackling the messes (Hint - go for the laundry first).
Even at its hardest, "Nanny Mania" is not impossible or really even that hard. You have to complete the level by a certain time limit. The time limit is not short enough to make it difficult to beat the level. With shorter time limits, then the game could be a challenge. Otherwise there is no real challenge even with 4 children to pick up after.
