Cooking Mama is a brilliant game for any age, however, it can get repetitive for the older gamers after a while. The game involves you making meals for Mama and she gives you a score out of 100 on how well you did, and depending on your score you can get a bronze, silver or gold medal. When you complete a meal it unlocks others for you to complete, and you can also combine different meals to make a new one.
When I started to play this game I could not put it down because its so addictive to play. My favourite part of the game has definately got to be dicing and slicing different foods, however, I find peeling the shell off the boiled eggs really hard to do and still have yet to complete it! I don't know whether thats just me though that finds it so difficult!! Haha.
Overall, it is very good value for money and I recommend this Nintendo DS game for young children as well as adults. I hope that Cooking Mama 2 adds some more excitement to the game, as I have already said it can become very repetitive completing the same cooking tasks. Reading other reviews on Cooking Mama 2 I do believe that it now enables you to connect with other DS players, and there are new meals to make.
Now there is a new Cooking Mama out, you can get this game for a really good price. My game was £17 from Zavvi, but is just under £15 in ASDA. Definately a great bargain to add to your DS games collection!

I myself being brought up with games all around me (blame my older brothers) did enjoy it to begin with but did get bored with it quite early. However for those who are only newly getting into games such as my girlfriend, she finds it hard to put it down! Definitly recommended for the newer gamer! :)
