The GameDaily One-Minute Review

Cooking Mama World Kitchen for Wii challenges players to create a series of international dishes under the watchful eye of Mama, the series' protagonist. Unlike its disappointing predecessor, the game features adorable 3-D graphics, a first for the series, as well as additional recipes tailored for western audiences, such as pancakes, french fries and Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies. Unfortunately, lackluster controls make performing tasks such as slicing meat more annoying than fun, and the lack of a tutorial forces trial and error learning, but mostly error. Because of these issues, World Kitchen's mini-games are an acquired taste.
