A decent alternative to the Cooking Mama series.

Food Network: Cook or Be Cooked is a cooking mini-game compilation which seems to be an alternative to the Cooking Mama series. You prepare and cook a number dishes and you must go through the recipes by completing numerous mini-games correctly. However, there is a twist to the game-play, you must complete a number of dishes at one time. The game features a single player mode, a "pass and play" mode allowing up to four players to prepare one meal, and a multiplayer cook-off mode between two people all of which are executed well. The game has been put together well, but you can't help but feel as if this game feels half-empty. Since there are only twelve different dishes to cook, there just aren't enough features to define this as a good game. If this game spent a little bit more time in development and if it was polished more, it could actually be a genuinely brilliant game. Try Cooking Mama: World Kitchen or Order Up! as an alternative.
