Cooking Mama: Reviews

Game Score: 6/10

Cooking Mama is great fun at first, but quickly becomes tiresome. 11

This game is similar to Wario Ware - It is a game that consists of many short mini games, unlike Wario Ware they are all based on cooking.
The game is very touch screen reliant, so if you dont enjoy touch games this isnt the one for you.
Just some of the mini games include cutting vegetables with your stylus, tendering meat by tapping it and adding ingredients to a bowl.
After completing a series of these minigames you are presented with a score out of 100, a picture of the meal you cooked and if you did well enough, a bronze, silver or gold medal.

The graphics are very cute in a japanese style (though i wouldnt exactly call it a manga/anime game) There are plenty of bright colours and the food can sometimes look pretty tempting.
The sound is good to begin with but the music isnt that varied, i ended up turning the sound off after a while as it got slightly bothersome. Personally however, i found the adorable graphics made up for the not
There is no real replay value to this game, I was disappointed to see there was no story mode, and many of the dishes are very similar. Once you have a few gold medals everything feels a bit pointless.

Overall - this game is good fun if you dont have enough time to sink your teeth into a deeper game. It's a great addition to any casual gamers collection, but not a valuable choice for a more serious player.
