Cooking Mama gets a new perspective

For the first time, you'll be able to control Mama herself in spontaneous minigames, as she rushes in to fix your mistakes -- for example, she can catch mis-flipped burgers in her apron. "Additional rhythm and motion" has also been added to the main Wiimote-based gameplay. Whatever that means, at least Cooking Mama Limited is taking steps to avoid stagnation.

I mean seriously...
Check out this comparison of Cooking Mama and Gears of War.

The Wii can't be that bad, can it?

Hey, one of those games looks fun!

I'd love to understand how the fact that Wii games aren't exclusively violent shooter/smashers or sports games, the fact that Wii caters to all kinds of audiences, makes it a "less mature" platform. Last time I checked, the constant desire to blow things up, fire automatic weapons, and bitch-slap people out of their automobiles wasn't "mature".
That being said, the graphics to Cooking Mama are childish but it can still be a fun game. [Just wanted to own up to the fact that it's not a graphically gorgeous game like Super Mario Galaxy and the other stunners on the Wii].

That made no sense.

That 3d face is just...horrible.
Why is the face so pale, devoid of features, with eyes that don't look like eyes?

how about her hair which seems to be magically floating on her head like a bad toupee or wig XD; it looks like a bad Beetles' haircut too
it doesnt even look like Mama anymore :(

You know, my wife and I always had fun playing these games, but we always rented them. The one feature they could have added to it to make it a buy for us would have been a real recipie so we can prepare it in real life.
