Lets cook! July 3, 2008
This game is sooo funny! especially when playing against other people. It's nice to see a game that makes good use of the Wii controller as you use it to chop, stir, toss, peel etc. Make sure you are sitting in a good position as it can get frustrating when you are madly trying to stir your soup and its not picking up your actions. The only fault i would say is that cooking mama's voice has a terrible accent! i would of preferred they had changed the voice for the UK market as sometimes its difficult to understand what she has said. I guess that does add to the comedy value of this game however. Who would of thought a game about cooking would be so fun!. I do question the lastability of the game - there is only so much 'cooking' you want to do in a gaming session hence why i have rated it three stars overall.
 5 stars for kids , probably 2-3 if you havent got any June 16, 2008
This game is amazing fun for our 4 year old & her friends ( needs verbal guidance sometimes is all but she taught her mum to play ) . Great fun for us if we play with her , not sure we could recommend it for adults playing by themselves though ( maybe if very drunk , otherwise wait and hope Gordon Ramsay makes a version that could be real entertainment :) ) .
The controls are mostly very intuitive & obvious in a fun way . As said by other reviewers it helps teach about food & cooking . Graphically it is simple but in a nice , pleasant style that we found made it very easy to pick up & play ( even when you're 4 ) . Mama herself is repetitive in her comments but for us at least not annoyingly so .
Overall we'd recommend it & if you can get it cheap ( like we did ) then so much the better .
 Fustrating for 8+ April 2, 2008
My brother and I bought this expecting a fun and enjoyable game. It wasn't. 'Mama' is irritably repetetive with 'That's better than Mama'. For younger children i'm sure it's fun but it annoyed me extensively. We took the game back the next day and got a full refund.
It's the sort of game you'd rent for a night but any longer and you'll be ripping your hair out.
a bit disappointing August 14, 2007

Am I the only person who found Mama's constant cry of 'You're not mine!' disconcerting?
It might be less traumatic for children to play Godfather: Blackhand Edition.
