Cooking Mama: World Kitchen Review

Let me say that Mama is very skilled. She cooks, she gardens, she crafts, she babysits and now she even CAMPS. What's next? Cleaning Mama? She seems to like doing it, so I would love her in my house.

Presentation:

The game is presented very nicely. It looks cute and fun. And they present you with a ton of recipes so I think it succeeds in this category. But I still feel there's something missing. I give this a 70.

Sound:

Not good. The music tracks feel all the same. Don't get me started on the voices, they are terrible. I give this a 20.

Graphics:

Are you kidding me. All the characters look all...bad and so does the food. They should have put more effort into it. Heck, Luigi's Mansion had better graphics than this. I give this a 35.

Gameplay:

This is basically a minigame collection and a very bad one at that. First of all, the controls don't work very well. There are a lot of recipes. But most of the steps for making the recipes are almost all the same, so you don't have that much of a different experience while making all the recipes. AND WHY THE HECK ARE MAMA'S EYES BURNING? First of all, this kid is like, 12 years old AND YOU EXPECT HIM TO PREPARE AN OCTOPUS WITHOUT HIM SCREWING UP? Yeah, Mama is evil. Another thing I didn't like was that when you were making...let's say a club sandwich and you got a mediocre score, it looked fine and I didn't like that. Overall I give the gameplay a 25.

Lasting Appeal:

Oh yeah, there's a ton of recipes, but as I stated above, they all feel the same. So you won't be getting much of a replay value from this game. There's also a cook with friends mode where you can cook for your friend and a mode where you can challenge a friend or computer player to a cooking battle. There's also a little minigame collection you can unlock. But all that stuff above that I mentioned before sort of sucks so I give this a 25.

Overall:

This has been one of my most critical reviews. Because I thought the game was very repetitive and the controls were bad too. So in the end the game gets. But before we tell you. We'd like to give you a word from our sponsors.

BUY GARDENING MAMA

Now Mama Can Garden! And You Can Help Her!

HOORAY!

I love irony.

Oh yeah, this game gets a 35.

Super Mario 3D Land Review

Before I get this review ready, I'd like make it clear that I don't exactly like the title of the game. Super Mario Land 3D sounds better or Super Mario Bros 3D. It sound like bads grammerz. Anyways, REVIEW TIME!

Presentation:

Nintendo has been getting less fun over these years. Changing their red logo to gray, when they named their new handheld console they just added a 3 at the beginning. But this game still doesn't make up for it. The boxart is not that exciting looking. But WHO cares. The game itself has a lot of worlds. SPOILER WARNING AHEAD, there are eight regular worlds and eight special worlds, so that means there's sixteen worlds all together. I think this game is good in terms of presentation, I give this a 90.

Sound:

The soundtrack is...weak. There aren't those tracks that you're going to remember forever, I would have preferred a orchestrated soundtrack. But I know the 3DS has less capabilities than the Wii. But how come I can put the Super Mario Galaxy music on my 3DS sound and it sounds perfect. I guess I shouldn't expect that as this game is a handheld game. But I still like some of the tracks. I give this a 77.

Graphics:

Absolutely beautiful. I think the 3D is cool. Even though I don't use it very much because it hurts my eyes. But without the 3D the game is still beautiful and colorful. The character models are absolutely marvelous and the backgrounds are also cool too. I give this a 95.

Gameplay:

The gameplay is better than Super Mario 64 but worse than Super Mario Galaxy. The gameplay is a mix of Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario 64. They even brought back a power-up from Mario 3, the tanooki suit. Which I really liked. The game also controls perfectly. The game is played like a regular 3D Mario platformer like Super Mario Galaxy. I give this a 96.

Lasting Appeal:

I changed the title of this subject because I didn't like preservation. The game will last you for a long time. There are Star Medals which you can collect and using those Star Medals you can unlock new stages, and it gives you something to brag about. And the levels are also fun to replay, I give this a 95.

Overall:

The game is fantastic and has lots of reply value and great gameplay. So it gets a...90!
