Great ending, even if ripping off things you know, still enjoyable as the opening cutscene. Wouldn't say the game is hilarious or even funny, but the whole game has a charm to get a smile or "heh" from the writing/animations sometimes.
Hard mode is actually noticeably more difficult than easy mode, and does so in a smart way, unlike most games. Especially if you avoid using the sous chefs.
When your Wii is set to widescreen, this game actually shows you more of the workstation to the point where you can reach almost all the stations without needing to zoom out. Instead of just stretching the standard view.
Many of the controls more logical than Cooking Mama's. The ability to work on multiple dishes at once, or multiple steps at once immediately made it superior.
Was one of my top three games of 2008. Played it for like six hours straight the night I got it. Played through the "campaign" twice now, and have a third one that I'll pick up and play a couple services when waiting for something sometimes since you can bang out two or three in 15-20 minutes.
Not for all of GAF obviously, but still the best cooking game I've seen on the Wii. Can't wait for the sequel, hope it lands on the Wii as well, would probably "day one" it. (Definitely will if it's $20 again, I got it a couple months after for $15, I hadn't heard of it prior or else I probably would have got it at launch.)

I thought it was funny. and I definitely appreciated that it was the kind of humor that is funny for kids and adults--without coming off as pandering to either. My daughters and I still refer to every hamburger joint in our city as "Burger Face." That's just good, solid stuff right there.benjipwns said:

Sorry, I was writing my post before I saw yours, I wasn't trying to contest you or anyone else, just posting my own thoughts, even though it came out that way because you had posted what you did.mik said:

Hmm, this game looks pretty sweet. Any other games that are most likely under my radar?

Marble Saga Kororinpa is the most underrated game on the Wii. 300+ levels of ball-rolling platforming perfection.

First one's good too, but it's pretty obviously lacking in content and features and has much weaker and less challenging level design in comparison. The only area it wins is in ball physics (the default marbles in Marble Saga are horrible), but once you unlock the better marbles the difference becomes negligible.SalsaShark said:

I bought the game after one of the 1up employees recommended the game on one of Co-ops episodes awhile back. It's a lot of fun.
Have you played MySims Agents? Jeff Green worked on it and I had an enjoyable time going through it. It isn't anything really special but it was fun enough to complete.

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
Great job OP, yo have good taste.
This game so deserved its own thread (which sadly I think this might be the first for Order Up! on neogaf). While it's by no means an AAA title, it is still a very fun and awesomely quirky cooking game. I originally purchased it as a present for my sister's birthday. She loved it.... and I loved it even more.

This kind of reminds me of Trauma Center, only for cooking, seems pretty cool.

Did you unlock the figure roller and edit it to give it high speed/response/slide and low bounce ratings? With that setup it handles just as well as the flash ball from the original. The only real difference is that it's still way too bouncy even if you lower its bounce rating to minimum. I guess they did that so you couldn't skip over large portions of the levels as easily as you could in the original.djtiesto said:Same here... Marble Saga is a much more fully-featured game, but the physics totally killed it for me
Funny to see this topic crop up now. Got this game from Goozex over the weekend. It's def. underrated, with a great sense of humor. Sad the studio hasn't had a chance to release any more original IP.
It could stand to be a little longer, though. Whole thing is over in ~8 hours.

my love of alton brown led me to buy Iron Chef America for Wii. It was a mistake.
Didn't sully my opinion of AB though.
