In the game you have to cook different dishes. Each dish you have a different set of "instructions" So for one there may be "chopping" "boiling" "pooring water"...etc. You must complete each of the tasks for each dish, and depending on how well you do it, you receive more points. I have read that the game is kind of sensitive. I will admit during some of tasks, there is some sensitivity. But your hand starts to remember exactly where to place the stylus. As they say, "practice makes perfect." But there are much harder tasks to complete, I have the hardest with peeling potatoes and putting a certain amount of food into wraps. (kind of confusing, sorry) But even if you can't do very well on just one task you can still complete the dish, but won't receive the same amount of points, and may be able to open a "new dish."
All in all it's a fun game to play. I would definetly suggest it!
I love playing these games. Although this is the first and original game in the series, it isn't my favorite. This is just my personal opinion. There are flaws with the game. The controls are slow to respond from time to time, which can make it difficult to complete set tasks. You also can't customize Mama or anything else in game.
You try it despite this. The content makes up for it. Don't forget to try other entries in the series if you enjoy this one. I've bought other Cooking Mama games here on Amazon too. They're fun and affordable too. :)
Players are required to complete a variety of basic cooking techniques which you will have the opportunity to practice till you are ready to get started. From chopping and slicing, to wrapping and breading, mama has you you do it all.
Dishes range from salsbury steak to sushi rolls. Degree of difficulty is primarily dependent on the type of task or number of steps required to complete a dish. Some require one or two steps to a combination of several techniques. The more you play, the more dishes you unlock. Depending on how well you do, mama gives you a bronze, silver, or gold medal. However, don't get mama mad or you shall feel her wrath!
Cooking Mama is a really fun game that's extremely addicting. It's hard to stop playing. They make you really want that gold medal! The fact that you are able to see the very basics of how to make a cool looking meal is a plus. I think it's a nice intro to those afraid of culinary arts. The only thing that prevented me from giving this game a 5 is the fact that we finished it so quickly. I wish there were a lot more dishes and greater degrees of difficulty. There were alot of dishes of course, but if you get as addicted to this game as we were, those dishes aren't enough!
In terms of gameplay, Cooking Mama can get very intense at times. It makes for a nice challenge when I'm wanting to play something a bit different on my DS. Most of the actions that you have to perform are on the touch screen, but I tried playing this on a 3ds XL and a DS lite. They both worked exactly the same, despite the size difference in the screens. I would definitely recommend playing this to anyone that will be buying a handheld from the DS family.
