Cooking Mama 2

by Evan Shamoon on November 19, 2007 at 08:16 PM



As fans of the original already know (and the rest of you can probably surmise), Cooking Mama 2: Dinner With Friends ($30) is a game about cooking. The original game Cooking Mama Cook Off came out for the Nintendo Wii, but the follow up has gone all handheld. In Cooking Mama 2, you use the Nintendo DS touch screen to complete recipes that are divided into steps -- usually involving rice, fish, and chopping. Lots of chopping. So, for example, you'll wash the rice, swirl the rice around, cook the rice, chop the ginger, remove the scales from the fish, fillet the fish, steam the fish...and so on. All with the stylus. Though much of the food is of the decidedly Japanese variety, you'll make white trash favorites like hot dogs and pizza as well. There are loads of recipes for the aspiring chef; we must say, after a week of playing this game, anyone's cooking ability (or at least knowledge) will get a swift kick in the apron.
