Mama is still cookin'! In her Wii sequel, Mama brings a lot more to the table, including all new 3D graphics, new recipes, comedic kitchen minigames, new gameplay modes and much more. The Wii Remote is your universal cooking utensil, putting you in total control of the cooking action as you chop, grate, slice, stir, roll and much more! Hold and point it in many different ways depending on the task to get the real sensation of cooking in a kitchen. Mama and friends look glorious in all new 3D graphics. More than 50 all new recipes including: parfait, French fries/Onion Rings, Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies, Ratatouille, pancakes, boiled flounder and many more. New gameplay mechanic integrates Wii Remote utensil play with additional rhythm and motion that makes cooking easier and more enjoyable. [Majesco]

Good family fun that will keep you entertained for ages.

Game Chronicles
All in all, Cooking Mama: World Kitchen is a blast, and any gamer with the faintest interest in the micro-games genre will find something to enjoy in Mama’s kitchen.

Worth Playing
It still needs some improvements in the controls, and it doesn't offer a deeper single-player experience like its counterpart, Order Up. Still, fans of the original and those curious to try the series will find that this version of the game does not disappoint.

GameZone
More of the same with a few additional spices, Cooking Mama: World Kitchen isn't the freshest game in the market. But fans of the series should be entertained, especially those who can appreciate the silly humor that it provides.

IGN
So what we have here is a good casual game; what last year's Cooking Mama should have been. World Kitchen is easy enough for anyone to pick up and play (despite the lack of tutorial), and Mama's charisma may even keep cynical hardcore gamers playing longer than they expected.

GameShark
Really, the biggest issue with the game is the lame multiplayer and lack of enough game modes.

Cooking Mama World Kitchen isn't bad, but it could have been better. [Holiday 2008, p.80]

Extreme Gamer
Cooking Mama: World Kitchen cooks up its best version yet with its second round at seasoning the Nintendo Wii. The game might be a little shallow and strange for some gamers; however anyone who has got down and floury with Mama in the past will enjoy her usually optimistic approach.

Games Master UK
It's great trying to perfect all of the recipes, but the terrible utilisation of the Wii-mote is tougher to swallow than a week old pork pie. [Apr 2009, p.79]

Mama may be smiling away on the box but you certainly won't be if you buy this after playing her old games.

SpazioGames
Cooking Mama 2: World Kitchen will be loved by users that want to have simple entertainment, but “hardcore gamers” will not feel any interest for this game. Anyway, the title is quite good ad fans will appreciate that first version issues have been resolved.

Game Revolution
Even with the controller glitches, which seemed not to bother younger players so much anyway, it’s more fun with the Wii remote than with the DS stylus.

Game Informer
Even serious fans should rent before buying this half-baked cash in. [Jan 2009, p.77]

Vandal Online
Although this installment has achieved to overcome some of the control issues of the first game, and it also offers slightly better graphics than those one, it doesn't bring anything new to the series.

World Kitchen tries hard to spice up the already tasty Cooking Mama recipe with new characters, slapstick rescue minigames, and cheesy-in-a-bad-way voiceovers, but the results leave behind a funny aftertaste. It'll do in a pinch, but I prefer Cook Off's well-balanced helpings.

NGamer UK
A lazy addition to a series that belongs on DS anyway. [Apr 2009, p.70]
