'Cooking Mama World Kitchen' (Wii) Goes Gold, Gets Dated

by Rainier on Oct. 27, 2008 @ 9:45 a.m. PDT

In Cooking Mama 2: World Kitchen, featuring hot new recipes and all-new 3D graphics, players use the motion-sensitive Wii Remote to cook a variety of recipes by simulating the actions of a real-life chef.

In her Wii sequel, Mama brings a lot more to the table, including all new 3D graphics, new recipes, comedic kitchen minigames, new gameplay modes and much more!

In Cooking Mama World Kitchen, Mama and friends have a whole new look given the game's upgrade to full 3D graphics. By utilizing the Wii Remote as a universal kitchen utensil, players can simulate actual cooking by chopping, grating, slicing, stirring and rolling their way through all new recipes that range from parfait to shrimp au gratin. Best of all, kitchen mistakes during meal preparation result in comedic mini-game surprises; for example, if you flip a burger too high, you can control Mama as she rushes in to save the day by catching it in her apron. Finally, a new game play mechanic integrates traditional Wii Remote utensil play with additional rhythm and motion that makes cooking easier and more enjoyable.

Cooking Mama World Kitchen lets players use the Wii Remote as a universal cooking utensil to chop, grate, slice and stir their way to culinary greatness. Players can complete 51 new recipes including French fries, parfait, Ratatouille and pancakes. In this latest installment of the beloved franchise, Mama and friends also benefit from a graphic upgrade to full 3D. Players can cook for Mama's approval in Cook with Mama mode; prepare meals for any of eight international friends to taste in Let's Cook mode; and team up with a friend to create meals together in the co-operative Cooking Contest mode. A fourth bonus mode is even unlockable once players complete all 51 recipes! Best of all, every mistake made during meal preparation results in a comedic mini-game that lets players use the Wii Remote in new motion based ways to save the recipe, and the day, with Mama and her little dog Max.
