Video Game Reviews of Cooking Mama: Cook Off
Customer Review: Cooking Mama cuts you off.
Summary: 2 Stars
55 recipes too few (4-6hrs or less to complete).
Some cutting actions or cooking methods not as interesting as others (shaking pepper, salt, and other seasonings is boring).
Often the controls are not sensitive enough and you either get the right motion or you don't, no relative skill/points in between.
My main problem with the game is the decoration of finished food items. You have very little time to play with a finished item and custom decorate it (add a smiley face with ketchup, or otherwise adorn your food). If you spend too much time making a fun looking final dish then you fail the dish. If you splash a random blob of something and hit done then you make great time and are scored better. You can't take all the time you want even if you accept failing the dish, the game forces you out after a brief time no matter what. This is my pet peeve, the game has so few recipes and it doesn't even let you exhaust the fun options on these. It needs a sandbox mode where you can have all the time you want for each step, including the decoration (superficial to game play but an enjoyable element).
Customer Review: Love it!

Cooking Mama Cook Off is very fun! It didn't take me long to unlock all 55 of the recipes! You can make recipes by yourself or play against someone to see who can get a higher score. Gives directions for each step, pretty easy to follow! Would definitely recommend it!Customer Review: No BIG thrill

I bought this game for my five year old daughter. Both she and her sister enjoy it, but it is not as exciting as other Wii games. They will definitely tire of it soon.Customer Review: I'd rather play the free version

This game is fun, however, I have played the EXACT same game with a different title "Cooking Academy" that I downloaded for free off of [...]. [...] is a place where you can download free games with unlimited gameplay time if you can put up with a 20 second commercial every 20 minutes. The "Cooking Academy" game was a lot of fun. However, after enjoying it as much as I did, I bought this game thinking it would be a different approach to a similar kind of game. It was the EXACT same game but without the weird Japanese/French girl. Do it for free instead of playing the wii. Remember, "most fun dot com" is where to go.Customer Review: fun

My daughters were so excited to get this game. However, I wonder if you get bored easy with it - because they haven't played it after the first month. They usually play games longer.
