Addicting and funny... December 4, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This game is addicting. It requires the use of the stylus and it is really amazing how the designers came up with ways to use it. This game is not an easy kiddie game. I'm sure older kids would love it.
Some of the recipes are gross... I mean, I have never nor will I ever put ketchup in a spaghetti recipe. But it is interesting to see how to fold wontons tho!
Cooking Mama's my saviour! November 8, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
When I first started playing this game it was interesting to see how so many dishes are made. I really started to get into it after I had knee surgery and had to lay in bed all day.. some people complain about not being able to peel potatoes or carrots but its all about how you hold the pen and watching what direction the arrow is pointing. Other than that its good for kids who can't actually cook in the kitchen it really inspires little one's really use they skill's. By: A college student who like's anime and games ;O
 A Really Fun Game That You Don't Get Tired Of September 5, 2007

I bought this game for my 10 year old daughter and this review is based on her opinions. In this game you get to unlock recipes and make new ones. You try to earn a gold star on each recipe. If you like cooking I would recommend this game. It can keep you busy for weeks. She really enjoyed it and still does.

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.

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?
