YesAsia Editorial Description

The Nintendo DS gets another unique, quirky game with Cooking Mama! Like Osu! Tattakae! Ouendan! and Nintendogs before it, Cooking Mama has been receiving an unusual amount of attention for its use of the DS's touchscreen. Gameplay involves the player receiving orders from customers, and then having to whip up the proper dish. Using the stylus and touchscreen, players get to slice meat, dice vegetables, and serve up a variety of different recipes, from omelets to tempura and more. The recipes and tools provided are true-to-life, so playing Cooking Mama can actually teach you how to cook! Points are given for accurately creating the proper dishes in the time allotted. Presentation is also key, and players can even try their own recipes with the provided ingredients!

not bad at all Customer Review Rated Bad 7 - 7 out of 10
I say that this is another good game where it's about cooking and the recipes that they have are interesting as well.

I have to agree with the reviwer,Brad that it will definately spoil your screen as even mine has a small scratch if you play it often enough.Better to have a screen protector but then again,you would need to change it eventually once it worn out.

Fun - double check stylus Customer Review Rated Bad 6 - 6 out of 10
While this game is very fun to play (constant cooking, chopping, frying, and cutting) the repetative movements did damage my DS Touch Screen. I will not go into depth about the gameplay, just know that the game is worth the $20 price tag that most stores are charging. It is addictive and very fun for all ages. My DS was only 4 mohths old when I purchased this game (mostly for the fact that it is played with the stylus). I had used it on two trips only for a total play time of about two weeks. The flipping motion, where you flip the contents of a frying pan like a professional chef left a vertical line about 1/2 of an inch in length in the center of my DS Touch screen. Ninteno will not replace the touch screen for free, they said that the warrenty does not cover normal use. I'm still unsure what is normal use, when an expensive device scratches from gameplay in less than 2 weeks of play time. This sounds like a faulty screen cover or stylus to me.

You might want to take out a brand new stylus as I found out the hard way that the tips actually wear down. Still don't let this review put you off the game play is really fun, and the recepies are real. My friend and I made dumplings by learning how from playing the game.

The game would have benefited from better control. Many times the game just doesn't do what the stylus just did. It can be frustrating, causing you to play to how the game was programed, while the game should have learned from users instead. Not everyone holds a stylus the same way, writes the same way, etc. The game also lacks a menu system to display unlocked recepies. This means that when you want to make something in real life, you have to go back and actually play. I'm sure the programmers didn't intend people to make the recepies found in the game, but they are real and if you can cook even just alittle the game will teach you how to make some great dishes.
