• Summary: Making special use of the Wii Remote, Cooking Mama: Cook Off is an entertaining blend of mashing, slicing, chopping and stirring as players create more than 300 real-world recipes from 10 different nations. New realistic graphics and real-time cooking effects lend authenticity to player creations and help budding chefs determine when food is overcooked. Best of all, Cooking Mama: Cook Off offers 2-player kitchen competitions to determine who can cook the best meal the fastest. [Majesco] Expand

  1. A great family game that gets everyone involved.
  2. The clever controls, resourceful objectives (there are dozens of unique recipes), and moderately high replay value are a winning combination.
  3. The fact of the matter is that unless you are absolutely dying to play an insanely quirky Japanese game about cooking, you should stay far, far away from Cooking Mama.

    Actually Cooking Mama: Cook Off could be a great game. Nice graphics, a variety of different cooks and cute accent of the character "Mama" are not enough to cover the fact of the not-so-responsive controller. Even with practice, players will notice that something is wrong with the game, because their Wii Remote doesn't really act like playing Wii Sports or Wii Play. It entertains younger children and old people for a while, but due to its repetitive gameplay nature, they will know when to stop. Expand

    The game is okay as a rental, but I wouldn't buy it. The controls are not precise enough to make it fun and the repetitive voice of the being "better than momma" is annoying and frustrating. With that being said, this is a truly unique game and if a sequel were to be released fixing some of the blatant issues this could be a fun game. Expand

    As someone who absolutely loved the original DS game I was bitterly disappointed with this. Certain tasks were hard (Such as cutting) and the range of meals you could cook was really limited. The only thing good about it was the multiplayer, but alas, with the difficulty with some of the tasks, and the way things were phrased when explaining what you had to do made it extremely hard for someone just to pick up the wiimote and play, all the fun was sucked out of it, into a mess that even Mama couldn't fix.
