I recently had the privilige of playing this game. It is really fun to play. I have always loved cooking and this game gave me the chance to do it all of the time. You just have to be careful not to get to excited ot you will scratch your screen trying to cut stuff within the time limit. They even have all different kinds of recipes you can cook and you get to pick. They have spagetti and sushi and meatballs and abunch of other recipes. You even have a time limit. And you get graded on how well you cook and how fast it was done.This game is great.

My friend bought this game for me and I think its really fun! The game gives you a lot of recipes to do, and there are even some that you cant unlock unless you get perfect on certain recipes. the only downside with this game though, is that once you get and beat all the recipes, you'll loose interest in it. usually what id find myself doing is after I beat the game id erase my data so id start over so that way every time i play I can always have a goal, and I can unlock more things.
I think Cooking Mama would be a great first game for someone.

Even though the food isn't real and it doesn't improve any of my cooking skills in real life, it is pretty darn addicting. I find it hard to stop until I unlock all the recipes.

This game is perfect for: casual gamers

The game utilizes the ds touch screen well, and asks you thing that even a 7 year old child can understand. Cooking mama for ds is best for casual gamer that are on the rode a lot. You can pick it up and play it any ware. The only big thing that I have a problem with is the sound, play with speakers turned off.

There is pros and cons with this game. Which first? I'll go with the pros first. This game isn't like many other games. You use the touch screen and the stylus to chop, slice, pan fry, knead, grate, mash, tenderize, mix, peel, carve, roll and more. There are 76 different recipies and when you master the first 15 recipies, you unlock 61 MORE recipies. Then you can combine different recipies to make even more recipies.There are even practice sessions that you can do to practice without being judged and you get medals (bronze, silver and gold) depending on you score of how well you made it. Now here are the cons. This game is full of rules that you have to follow. It's not like you can just try cooking what ever you want. That's what I really didn't like. But it's really all about what you like in a video game. This game isn't my favorite, but it did manage to, just barely, got my 'Stamp of Approval.'

You play as a woman in this fun and exciting cooking game which deals with many real tasks in the world of food. My sister has this game and is absolutely glued to the screen. The only thing I would change is add more recipes or even another save slot. Although the recipes may seem real don't use them in real life. I learned the hard way. This game is not only for girls even though your playing as a boy because a lot of my friends play this game and like it more than their sisters do. I've gotten a gold medal in every single recipe. This game is a lot of fun. If you want to spend time with a younger sibling that loves to cook this is the perfect game for a little one on your lap. This game is REALLY worth your time and money!!! All I have to say is ENJOY!!! I know I have.
