Gaming Cooking Mama FTL

[sketch143]

Wow.. picked up this game today and was playing it with my friends.. we all came to the same conclusion..

This game sucks!

The instructions before the minigames are so vague, and sometimes it doesn't even mention everything that you need to do.
The controls for this were badly made... it says to rotate the remote but.. rotate how?
You can't understand anything mama says.. she has this really bad russian accent that makes it hard for us to understand anything she says.

bleh...

who else doesn't like this game?

I love cooking mama. There is one part I dont like and thats the bit where you have to saute food. I suck at that

I thought the DS game was terrible and didn't expect much from the Wii version.
Looks like I was right.

Yeah, from what I heard & what I played at Gamestop, it is a bad game. Period. I'm glad a friend listened to me and held off buying it.

Loved it on the DS and love the Wii version!!

The game wasnt that bad.

I beat the Japanesse version of the game,but it took me a while to figure it out.
By the time the American one came out i didnt want to rebeat it just because it was in English.

Cooking mama is great, one of the best games on the ds.

I think Cooking Mama is good on both systems but better on the DS. I also don't see how they can justify charging full price for the Wii version since it's so much fluff.

To the original poster: There is a practice mode that lets you repeat a single minigame until you figure it out. If the 'rotate' issue is with the minigame I think it is, my solution was to point it the controller sensor-side up and make very fast small circles. And it's a Japanese accent. I think it's cute though it does get repetitive.

I wasn't very impressed with the DS version of Cooking Mama. It was OKAY at the most ... but it just seemed a little too repetitive ... and it felt like there wasn't enough depth.

I'm afraid to even try the Wii version.
