    Reviewing casual games like Cooking Mama 2 can be a really frustrating experience, because there's so many legitimate ways to approach criticizing such titles. I'm not one to pull my punches, but it's hard to simply dismiss something for not being exactly what you'd wish it to be. Because let's face it, there is now a huge market out there who loves such non threatening videogames. Read more

    • Cooking Mama herself; style and controls
    • Lots of rehashing from original, terrible multiplayer, lame rewards

    Mama returns in what is the best game in the series so far. Read more

    • 80 brand-new recipes; more modes and characters; dozens of unlockable items.
    • The multiplayer mode is quite shallow.

    Cooking Mama 2: Dinner with Friends offers up most of the same simplistic, addictive gameplay that fans of the series love with a few twists, namely multiplayer action and new recipes. It's a great title for short gaming sessions, definitely tops the cutesy chart, and boasts those same adorable visuals and step-by-step cooking minigames that fans are familiar with. Read more

    Cooking Mama is an acquired taste. If you enjoyed the original, then you'll easily get a huge amount of play from Dinner with Friends. The new recipes alone are well worth the time, and throwing in many new steps and rewards freshens the gameplay. There aren't a lot of major changes to the original formula. At its core, it's essentially the same game only a bit better. Read more

    I absolutely fell in love with the first Cooking Mama for DS so when I saw that there was a new one out I was absolutely thrilled. I went home and immediately started playing. My first thought when I turned on the game was that it was hard to read. The screen is all rainbow and intense so it's hard to read the words. This is a game that you pretty much only play with your stylus and never bother with the buttons. Read more

    • New recipes, you can finally cook against friends, new features
    • Some features are difficult to understand, all the use of color is tacky looking and makes the screen difficult to view

    I think this game is kind of boring. I beat it out very quickly. I guess you could say it is more for younger kids. I was ten when I got this game so I guess for the age range I would say 8 and under would probably have a lot of fun with this game. However, a couple of my college age cousins really enjoyed this game and in the beginning couldn't figure it out. Anyway, I still think that it is kind of boring. Read more

  5. Good game!
