Customer Reviews

It's fun and simple,
by Yoon Suk Dam, 2008-12-31

We are not crazy about video games and probably only play on Wii for maybe 30 minutes a day at the most. This game was so simple to learn that it's very easy and fun. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out how to do thing as the instructions are clearly printed on each step. One dish would take about 5~10 minutes and that's plenty for us. However, if you are a serious gamer who likes strategies or fighting games, you would not like this since it's very simple. This works well with younger kids or adults who do not like time consuming, heavy skill games.

Glad I Rented It First - Will NOT Buy!,
by A. Barney, 2008-12-30

I just rented this game because I was considering purchasing it to start our new Wii collection (we just received a Wii for Christmas). Boy am I glad I rented it first (even though that cost me $7 for 5 days!).

I really can't believe this game has gotten so many positive reviews. I am sitting here wondering what is so great about it. Am I missing something?

The wiimote can be hard to manuever to fit what the game wants you to do. Often times I am doing the motion it asks, but the game doesn't pick up on it. It gets very difficult to stir and chop vegetables. And the game becomes frustrating fast!

Oftentimes I think I am performing the directions the way they ask, but then Mama tells me to try harder. Or I didn't get many points. It never tells you what you could do better.

I am wishing I had of put my rental money toward another game - but at least I didn't purchase it to the tune of $20. I say pass this game by - or at least rent it to try it out yourself before making the committment.

Frankly kind of annoying...,
by Tera, 2008-12-28

I love simulation games, especially those that involve cooking. When I received this game, I found it difficult to complete some of the tasks, even in training mode. Then, it seems like with this game more then ever, I will be completing the task, but the Wii doesn't sense it. It's really frustrating. There are quite a few recipies and the challenges are fun, but hard. This games says for everyone, but kids definitly would be frustrated with this game.

Great service - good game,
by JnM, 2008-12-26

I ordered this WII game for my granddaughter for Christmas after her DS version was lost. She loves it!!! And the service from Amazon is the best!

Hungry for more,
by Philip McKinney, 2008-12-20

I cannot stand this game. The interaction with the Wii Remote is frustrating. There is no AMAZING way to break an egg without chucking it at your flat panel television.

Cooking is great and rewarding. You can consume what you've created.

Cooking Mama let's you do all of the cooking with none of the food.
