Product Description

Mama and friends have a whole new look in Cooking Mama: World Kitchen, given the game's upgrade to full 3D graphics. By utilizing the Wii Remote as a universal kitchen utensil, you can simulate actual cooking by chopping, grating, slicing, stirring and rolling your way through all new recipes that range from parfait to shrimp au gratin.

Best of all, kitchen mistakes during meal preparation result in comedic mini-game surprises; for example, if you flip a burger too high, you can control Mama as she rushes in to save the day by catching it in her apron. Finally, a new game play mechanic integrates traditional Wii Remote utensil play with additional rhythm and motion that makes cooking easier and more enjoyable.

Share the cooking experience with Mama and all of her friends since everyone can now prepare meals in Mama's kitchen. Mama's friends will evaluate your meal once it's made Comedic mini-games (i.e. flip a burger up in the air and Mama's dog will run in and snatch it away; toss a pancake and control Mama as she runs in to save it with an apron catch) Save these surprise animations in an album you can review after gameplay 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.). Earn bronze, silver, and gold medals from Mama in Let's Cook mode based on the quality of your cooking

Amazon.com Product Description
Mama's back and she's still cookin' with her next installment, Cooking Mama World Kitchen. Video game publisher Majesco brings a lot more to the table with this sequel for the Wii, including all new 3D graphics, new recipes, comedic kitchen mini-games, new gameplay modes and a whole lot more.

Intuitive Cooking Movements and Improved Graphics
With the Wii remote as your universal cooking utensil, you'll be placed in total control of the cooking action as you chop, grate, slice, stir, roll, and much more. Hold and point the remote in many different ways (depending on the task) to get the real sensation of cooking in the kitchen. You'll need to be quick on your feet and precise in your movements, otherwise the meal might be ruined!

Looking better than ever with all new 3D graphics, Mama and her friends are ready to tackle 50 all new recipes. The delicious, new dishes include parfait, French fries/onion rings, Nestle Toll House chocolate chip cookies, ratatouille, pancakes, boiled flounder, and loads of other tasty creations. The updated gameplay mechanics integrate the Wii Remote utensil play with additional rhythmic movements that makes cooking easier and more enjoyable.

Kitchen Game Modes are Loads of Fun
Cooking Mama World Kitchen has three gameplay modes: Cook with Mama, and the new additions, Let's Cook and Cooking Contest. If you've cooked with Mama before you'll remember the first game mode where you learn the kitchen basics under Mama's watchful eye. Do well and you'll earn gold, silver and bronze medals based on your culinary skills.

When you play the new game mode, Let's Cook, you'll share your prepared meals with Mama's finicky friends who will judge the quality of your cooking. And with Cooking Contest you can team up with a real or in-game friend to prepare ingredients in the new cooperative play mode.

Hilarity and Surprises Abound
Interlaced in the gameplay are a host of new kitchen surprises that take shape as comedic mini-games. For example, you might flip a burger up in the air and Mama's dog will run by and snatch it away, or toss a pancake and then control Mama as she runs in to save it with her hilarious apron catch.

Another cool feature allows you to take a snapshot of these funny moments so you can review them after gameplay, or you can choose to replay kitchen mini-games in their entirety. Cooking Mama World Kitchen uses real-time effects that make you feel like you're actually cooking.

You can adjust your timing and make decisions about your next course of action based on what you see happening on the screen -- if food is starting to look burned, you can make a snap decision and remove it quickly from the burner. The intuitive gameplay, 3D graphics, new game modes, and hilarious mini-games work together to create a fun, interactive game.

It's just "okay"
I did not play the first version of this game so I don't know if the entire series is like this one. It's not an exciting game to play. It's more of a sit down in your chair and do something game, instead of reading the paper. It's not all that easy either. It takes some manipulation of the wii remote. I paid $49.99 for this game and it was SO not worth that much. If you can get it for like $20 go for it. If not, don't.

We are new to the Wii world, so Santa helped us out this year. This is one of the games we got. I have a daughter who loves cooking and enjoys cooking mama on the DS. But this falls a little short. I thought there was more team playing maybe we have to unlock more levels. It is ok, but there are other games that are quickly becoming favorites. Mario & Sonic olympics is great for the whole family even my 2yr old son loves the running!

It's OK
I found this game pretty fun and entertaining, but I think I like the first one better. There are some moves that are pretty impossible to figure out exactly what you are supposed to do and others that are a lot easier than the first one. I'm glad they kept the poorly translated English and animations, that's some of the great entertainment brought over from the original. We've found it can be a great party game when people are over.
