    This game is fun (if you like cooking)! It is not a game that you will want to play 24/7 though. It is more of a game that you play if you want something to do! It is really gun though!

    I feel this game may be a bit more female oriented, so the guys may want to pass. It was fun and kept my interest for awhile, but it was killer on the hand trying to stir quickly and doing many cooking tasks. I enjoyed the recipes, many that I wasn't familiar with, but would love to try IRL!

    Lots of fun. At first you won't believe you are addicted to this little pathetic game, and then you fall head first into it and can't stop.

    I gave it a nine because A. It. Is. SO FUNNY! B. It's a great time-passer C. Not a 10 because it isn't Animal Crossing: Wild World. Still, play Cooking Mama 2, and you wil LOVE it!

    The game isn't perfect--the game still has trouble picking up your commands on the touchscreen at times and some tasks require numerous tries before you can even figure out what to do--but Cooking Mama 2 is a winner without a shadow of a doubt. Every gamer, from the hardcore to the casual, should put in some time with this one.

    This is worth a look for Cooking Mama noobs, but veterans might find it a little stale.

    Even with its quirks, I find it hard to put the game down -- it's so easy and fun to hop back in and whip up a couple quick, satisfying dishes. In its silly simplicity, Cooking Mama does what many can't: keep me heading back to the kitchen for one more snack.
