Customer Reviews of Cooking Mama

Now if only you could eat it...
Cooking Mama is a well done and unique game to be certain; I've never played a funner cooking game in my life. Unfortunately, that's not saying much. As a starter, let me say I do enjoy cooking in real life when I can. I enjoy cooking or other people or improving on existing dishes. With Cooking Mama though, there is none of this joy that makes cooking enjoyable. <

>What works for Cooking Mama? <
>PROS <
> <
>- High quality graphics and sound; the food browns, the ingredients swish and sizzle, and the effects sparkle. <
> <
>- Tons of recipes, both Japanese and worldly. <
> <
>- Many different difficulties of recipes and tasks, with a lot of work being needed to perfect things but not too much. <
> <
>- The ability to alter recipes and share them. <
> <
> <
>What doesn't work though? <
>CONS <
> <
>- Apart from a separate practice mode, there isn't really much too this game beyond getting medals on all the recipes. <
> <
>- The large number of recipes repeat a lot the same tasks; stirring in recipe X is the same as stirring in recipe Y. This means that while there are over a hundred recipes, the number of activites you do ends up being a little less than that. <
> <
>- This is a cooking game; why is that a con? It is a con because a game cannot replicate some of the best parts of cooking. You cannot smell or taste what you cook, and apart from sharing recipes, there is no sharing of your creations. <
> <
>- The gameplay ends up being too rigid; cooking is more fleixble and artistic then this game lets on, and it can make cooking feel more frustrating than it actually is. <
>============================================ <
> <
>Cooking Mama is well done, for a cooking game. In the end, that ends up being both its blessing and its curse. If you are looking for a way to practice some cooking basics, get some ideas for recipes, or just a way to kill time on your DS it's hard to go wrong with Cooking Mama. However, if you're looking for variety in minigames, a vehicle to teach you to cook well, or a game with many modes and months of replayability, you'd be better looking elsewhere.

Good game for toddler
My son is 3&half years old, he loves playing with this game. Not a very simple game. You got to unlock more different dishes once you've finish making one dish. It is a bit hard to slice things, but the rest is very smooth. You'll learn how to made each dishes in real life. I think that's the bonus..haha..similar ingridents. Worth playing! Even I enjoy playing this game with my son. How said cooking is just for girls?

Cooking for Dummies!
I love this game. Highly addictive . . . I stay up just trying to master the recipes. I wish it was more like the Wii version where there are cooking competitions via wi-fi. Other than that it's fun and addictive!
