After her initial DS debut, Mama is whipping up some kitchen competition by pitting chef against chef in Cooking Mama Cook Off - a unique 2 player family game designed specifically for the Wii home video console. Step-by-step, recipe-by-recipe, help Mama cook international dishes from 10 different nations and watch as the realistic foods actually change in appearance based on your actions!

FEATURES
  • The Wii Remote is your ultimate cooking utensil, putting you in total control of the cooking action as you chop, grate, slice, stir, roll and much more! Hold and point it in many different ways depending on the task (i.e. upright to mash potatoes, lengthwise to fry in a pan, etc.) to get the real sensation of cooking in a kitchen!
  • All-new Cooking Challenge Mode lets you and a friend go head-to-head in the ultimate multiplayer cook off to determine who can cook the fastest with the fewest mistakes.
  • Create 55 real world dishes from 10 different nations: Japan, America, France, India, Mexico, England, China, Spain, Germany and Italy. You can even make desserts like cream puffs and pudding too! From hot dogs to pan fried crab to bouillabaisse, Cook Off challenges you to make it all!
  • Realistic graphics with real-time effects make you feel like you're actually cooking. Adjust your timing and make decisions about your next course of action based on what you see on screen (i.e. if food is starting to look burned, quickly remove it from the burner, etc.).
  • Keep your kitchen fancy and fresh by earning items that bring your kitchen to life (i.e. seasonings, small utensils, etc.).
  • Earn bronze, silver, and gold medals from Mama based on the quality of your cooking.
  • Practice mode allows you to fine tune your cooking skills without being judged. Recipes progress from simple to complex, from small to large dishes, so do your best to meet Mama's expectations as you unlock new dishes.

4 out of 5 stars It's fun and simple   December 31, 2008
Yoon Suk Dam (baby lover)
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.


2 out of 5 stars Glad I Rented It First - Will NOT Buy!   December 30, 2008

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.



3 out of 5 stars Frankly kind of annoying...   December 28, 2008

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.


5 out of 5 stars Great service - good game   December 26, 2008

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!

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.
