Cooking Mama Cook Off Wii

Cooking Mama Cook Off Wii is a Wario-Ware style arcade game made up of a variety of short movement-oriented activities. You can play alone or with a friend.

The game has a number of recipes from around the world. You can make a custard from England, some spaghetti or lasagna from Italy, or pirogies from Russia. Each recipe has a fairly realistic set of ingredients and instructions.

My grandmother was from Ukraine and I used to watch her make pirogies. So you do the same types of activities here, in computer form. There are veggies presented that you first slice by drawing the Wii controller towards you, then dice by moving it up and down quickly. There is dough to roll out, which you do by moving the controller back and forth.

But then there is inanity in here too. You're taking the finished pirogies and dropping them into a vat of boiling oil. Then you STICK YOUR HAND IN to take it out again. What?? And this is what they're showing to impressionable kids who might then head into their kitchen while mom or dad are cooking?

The graphics are far kludgier than we expect from a Wii title, and the sound is even worse. The ramblings of Mama are only sometimes able to be understood. The rest of the time they're just repetitively confusing and annoying.

It would be fine to ignore the clunky graphics and the bizarre sound if the gameplay itself was amazingly fun. I've certainly loved hours and hours of pac-man for example! However, the gameplay here can be incredibly frustrating. Peeling a carrot requires you to hold the controller exactly right. Shaking pots frustrates you because you know what you're trying to do - the controller isn't responding properly - and things are burning before your eyes. It can get quite frustrating.

So I have mixed feelings on this. On one hand I love the idea of combining the typical hand-moving gameplay the Wii is known for with a fun actual activity of cooking. People *could* learn all sorts of things about world cuisine and how to cook! It's an admirable aim. However, I think the execution was done very poorly. The game movements are not great. The whole putting-your-hand-into-boiling-oil concerns me greatly.

I would gladly try a second version, which fixed the issues, but I can't really recommend this current one.

We purchased this game with our own money to do this review.

Majesco Brings Cooking Mama To Facebook - Gamasutra

Majesco announced on Thursday the launch of Cooking Mama Friends' Cafe, the debut of the popular cooking game franchise on Facebook.

The Cooking Mama franchise debuted in 2006, and has players cooking meals using various ingredients and cooking methods within mini-games.

The series has appeared in boxed games for Nintendo DS and Wii. In May 2009, Majesco, the series' U.S. publisher, said the franchise had sold 4 million units domestically.

The new Cooking Mama Friends' Cafe for Facebook also uses the series' established cooking mini-game formula, Majesco said, but it also incorporates new "menu and customer management within an economy driven restaurant." Players can earn experience points and coins if they please customers.

The game is free-to-play, but players can also buy virtual items such as special ingredients and kitchen decorations with "virtual and real dollars."

Majesco explained that "players must return regularly and cook to maintain the business or risk their restaurant shutting down for good."

The publisher is typically known for lower-budget mass market-targeted boxed games. But Majesco said Cooking Mama Friends' Cafe "marks Majesco?s first entry into social gaming as they announce a targeted, strategic focus into the digital entertainment space."

While Majesco said the new Cooking Mama title is its first Facebook game, the company's website states it launched Large Animal Games'-developed Bananagrams in summer 2008. But a Majesco rep clarified for Gamasutra that Cooking Mama Friends' Cafe is "the first full featured micro-transaction based game for Majesco."
