I bought this for one of my twin daughters that are 9. We all three play it all the time. It is great fun. Some of the recipes are kinda slow but in general it is a good fun game. Not too bad of a price either.

Great Fun!

I bought this game for my daughter's birthday and it's turned into her favorite! She says, "It's fun and you get to do things like you were really cooking in the kitchen. You can make real recipes just like at your house." I picked this game up on a whim and I'm very pleased with how much she enjoys it!

A Little Simple, Yes, But...

I've been reading the previous reviews and I understand the complaints. I've been playing the game for 2 weeks and I can see that once you've done everything (which won't take extremely long) there's nothing left to do. But, it's a 20 dollar game. And here you can get it for 16. I say it definitely worth the money. It's fun and different. It's all based on the stylus. You get to make so many recipes and there are a lot of different tasks you have to perform to make each one. I also like that there can be variations to the recipes. It's a different game and I appreciate it for that. One more thing...this isn't a game about challenge. You don't move up levels, besides bronze, silver, and gold medals depending on how well you made the meal.

The Best Game Ever!!! ;-)

In Cooking Mama you are a Jr.Cook who's teacher is Mama.You must chop,fry,flip,peel,and cut with your stylus.You can practice recipes before cooking them which is good because you don't want to run out of time or do it all wrong and have Mama's eyes blaze red with flames all the time.

You are judged by Mama and you get a gold,silver or bronze medel for each recipe complete.You start with 15 recipes with 61 recipes to unlock.You can also master newfound skills like chopping,cutting,flipping,peeling,ect...in the use skills section.

Overall Cooking Mama is a good game that is very original and fits perfectly on the DS.

Cooking Mama's my saviour!

When I first started playing this game it was interesting to see how so many dishes are made. I really started to get into it after I had knee surgery and had to lay in bed all day.. some people complain about not being able to peel potatoes or carrots but its all about how you hold the pen and watching what direction the arrow is pointing. Other than that its good for kids who can't actually cook in the kitchen it really inspires little one's really use they skill's. By: A college student who like's anime and games ;O

Addicting and funny...

This game is addicting. It requires the use of the stylus and it is really amazing how the designers came up with ways to use it. This game is not an easy kiddie game. I'm sure older kids would love it.

Some of the recipes are gross... I mean, I have never nor will I ever put ketchup in a spaghetti recipe. But it is interesting to see how to fold wontons tho!

Second game purchased for my new DS...

To start off, I have to say that I had been eying this game even before I got around to buying a new DS (which my boyfriend ended up purchasing for an early birthday present - woohoo!), so I'm still relatively new to the world of Nintendo DS and use of it's stylus. I have only had this game one day and have so far found this game to be very entertaining... I'm still amazed at the fact that this game incorporates functioning of blowing on the screen (say, to cool down pasta you're cooking).

This game is completely interactive, allowing you to cook in a bright, cartoon-ish, user friendly kitchen, where you follow instructions for recipes (such as beef steak, pork curry and rice, potato salad, pizza, stuffed peppers, grilled mackerel, miso soup, to name a few) that take you from prep work (such as dicing, shredding, mincing, peeling, battering, rolling, etc) to mixing and cooking, to presentation... all in hopes of earning the highest possible score - ranging from gold, silver and bronze, unlocking new recipes and to, of course, satisfy Mama.

Cooking Mama also allows you a chance to practice preparing the variety of recipes before you actually chose to "make" them for Mama and receive a score based on your culinary performance. There is also a selection in the main menu, called "Use Skill", that allows you to practice specific skills through time-based tests, such as chopping, cutting, peeling, grating, shredding, stewing, frying, etc, in case you're a little rusty or need specific practice on one particular skill. And as if this isn't enough, under "Let's Combine", you are allowed a chance to combine two separate recipes together to create an original dish.

This game is by no means intensive... in fact it borders on mind numbing, but is very entertaining and appropriate for any age. There are enough recipes to keep you entertained and feeling somewhat productive during your game play.

If only cooking in real life were this easy and mess free! So corny but true!

An fantastic game

This game is really great. The beginning recipes are easy, but they get harder as you unlock new ones. I always am exited when I get to see what new things they have you cook. The combination mode also lets you be creative with the recipes, letting you make a more unique dish. The graphics are also really cute. It is just a really good game to unwind with. The skill mastry levels are also quite challenging once you get into them.
