  1. Hell's Kitchen is an example of how something so simple can become so addictive. You will find yourself going back to increase your final score.
  2. At least the game bit's quite good fun. The visuals are too small and too brown, but the gameplay's still classic; it's a bit like playing chess with pieces made of rat plops.
  3. 50
    The sheer, mind-boggling repetitiveness of the game nullifies that; the only thing Hell's Kitchen teaches you to do is tap on the screen quickly.
  4. Granted, we quite like the animated Gordon Ramsay but the rest really is a shambles. [Dec 2008, p.100]

    Guilty pleasure? God yeah it is. If any of my friends knew that I’ve played this, and worse yet loved it, they would never let me live it down. Thank goodness for the portability of the DS! If you’re like me and don’t want your friends to know that you love this game, get the DS version. It’s easy to squirrel away and hide until you can be alone to play it. Full Review »
