Frugal Gamer review Wed, 04 Nov 2009

Cooking Mama 3 takes us back to the kitchen minigames on the Nintendo DS. 80 new recipes, additional ingredients and a host of places to shop create fresh dishes and some great multiplayer cooking modes. The cartoon graphics persist through the six game challenges including the beginner friendly Let's Cook, and expert challenge Let's Eat modes. The stylus becomes your utensil as you chop, whiz, sprinkle, and tap your way through the 200 cooking different mini-games. Admittedly this is more of the same maybe, but in this case no bad thing.

I was a little unsure of the whole Cooking Mama idea at first. Maybe it was being married to a trained Chef, but it seemed odd to create a game so far removed from real life recipes and ingredients. But I soon realised this was missing the point. Cooking Mama isn't about teaching us to cook, or improving our culinary knowledge, it's about fun, frantic minigames. This, it delivers.
