Thumbs up! (bad pun)
I admit... this is WAY better than cooking mama (blech!) There is a chance you will get addicted to this game. I mean, this is where the saying don't judge a book by its cover comes into focus, with the mount kilimanjaro- no, everest size pile of crappy games (my god, a cold stone creamery game, that make my vomit want to vomit). But this is different. After choosing a male or female character, he or she is literally dropped out of a plane, where you next to Burger face, the training basically. i won't reveal anything after that, but let's just saying it's a cooking game with a plot, and a suprisingly good one at that. The cooking is fun, except for carving the meat, god that sucks, its like trying to use a plastic knife to cut through a cinderblock tied to a freaking car.you buy your own spices and buy recipes from the black market? recipes are illegal? oh god, thats why the cops are outside my door. The thing i like about this most is thats theres four different (not counting the training) restaurants: american, mexican, italian, and french. and a competition at the end. All around this is a great game, and i recommend it to anybody out there sorting the miles and miles of movie tie-ins and kids games on the wii.
