Cooking Mama Description
In Cooking Mama, you take the role of a chef who must take orders and prepare food on time. Fortunately, you have an friendly guide in Mama! Use the stylus to cut vegetables and meat, then cook them on the stove to perfection. The touch screen also comes into play as you shake the skillet for an omelet, dip tempura in oil, form dumplings, knead pizza dough and more. Blow into the mic to cool food!
Features
* 76 recipes
* Use the stylus to chop, slice, pan fry, knead, grate, mash, peel and more
* Share recipes with as many as four other players
* Wirelessly send a saved game to a friend
With an attractive MSRP of $19.99, this English-language version of a Japanese hit is both a fun little game and an unexpectedly pleasant introduction to a cuisine that's still quite exotic to many Americans. Herein you'll learn about specialities like fried rice, gyoza dumplings and tempura. On the other hand no one really needs to be taught how to cook spaghetti (boil some water, yo).
Game mechanics feel a lot like the WarioWare series, as Mana prompts you to complete a series of tasks with short deadlines. Unlike grouchy Wario, though, cheerleading Mama gives you all the time you need before going on to the next task. She smiles broadly when you do well. Talk about positive reinforcement!
