This game is so entertaining that you'll want to go back to the beginning and start all over.
You don't need to read the manual or spend hours on a tutorial. All you need to do is get your stylus handy and make your way into Mama's kitchen for some good, quality cooking!
The various cooking steps change over time, and even when you're at the very end of the 76 unlockable recipes, there are still new activities being added. Just when you may start thinking "Uggh, I'm so sick of beating eggs!", Mama throws new challenges at you!
I would give this game an honest 9.5/10, and I'm not easy to please. My one and only complaint is that I wish there were more recipes. Not because I mind going back and repeating the old ones, but just because I'd like to see some yummy new dishes headed my way!
Cooking Mama is absolutely an instant classic, and I really hope Majesco keeps it up. There is a lot of potential to make this series a powerhouse, if they can keep cranking out the innovative game play, fun features, and delicious looking food.
