DESCRIPTION

Cooking Mama goes beyond fantasy and gathers inspiration from real-life situations. Gourmet gamers utilize the stylus as an all-in-one cooking utensil to prepare over 76 dishes ranging from pepperoni pizza to cabbage meat rolls. Players begin with 15 default recipes and must unlock the other 61 by cooking a decent meal. Recipes can be combined to create more difficult concoctions that will increase a player's overall performance grade. In over 200 mini-games, Cooking Mamas prepare the food by slicing, chopping, mixing, peeling, grating, or mashing ingredients, and then cooking items to pretend perfection. Culinary companions may share recipes through a local wireless connection. ~ Gracie Leach, All Game Guide

Cooking Mama Ds Review by: Jenovatra

“ When you first see this game on the shelf you most likely think, “Girls game, but it looks interesting.” And from there it is a 50/50 chance you will or will not buy it. Awarded “Best of E3” for...”

“The Cooking Mama series has never appealed to me. Not because of the whole "girl's game" (which is BS IMO), but because I prefer to cook in real life. Get to enjoy the fruits of my labor that way.”

Cooking Mama (DS) by: Jenovatra

“The game revolves around cooking up to 76 different dishes. Placing your hand-eye coordination to the test the game is similar to Warioware games with time limits and each round is played as a mini-game. Fun, Fast, and Easy. Too bad there is no story”
