Food Network: Cook or be Cooked Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I really liked this game, I just wish they had added more content. 30+ recipes is a bit deceiving, as they count all the parts of one meal as separate recipes. For instance, pancakes with bacon counts as two recipes and Cheese Quesadillas with Tomato Salsa and Guacamole counts as three. As you can imagine it doesn't take long to work through all the recipes in the game.
Other than how short it was I had no other complaints and still think it was worth purchasing. The game play is fun and I actually picked up quite a few good tips! I liked that the recipes were real and would actually work in my own kitchen. I recreated the pancakes with nutmeg in real life and they were delicious! Hope they make a sequel - just with way more content.

Cook Wars Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this blind since there were no reviews available at time of purchase - it did not disappoint. I love this game and it has become a family favorite!
There are a couple of ways to play it. There is a quick game mode that involves ready made menus and takes around 5 minutes to complete a single menu item. This mode was great for family play with small kids. There is a regular game mode with almost board game rules - you land on squares that provide either coins (to buy a restaurant with penalties for any other player landing on it), sabotage points (allows interference with another chef's cooking) and so on. This can be played by winning a certain number of stars or laps around the board. It takes 30 minutes for the shortest game and much longer for other options. You need a wii remote for each player. You can play with up to 4 players with all kinds of combinations (2 players vs. 2 players, 3 vs. 1 and duel mode with everybody for themselves). You can unlock more menu items, etc. with high scores.
There are four chef characters to choose from at the start (2 males and 2 females). The movements for cooking are explained and easy. A quick visual is even provided to help. In the crepe contest you have to shake your pan (wii remote) up and down as fast as you can to make your crepe go higher then your opponents. In the fondue contest, you need to stab a piece of bread when it fully materializes in the fondue pot. The smaller pieces are worth more points and 2 players can battle it out with their fondue sticks for those pieces of bread. Each food contest awards points based on your performance and the highest score at the end of the menu wins in the quick game mode.
I highly recommend this game! It does not get old and is a blast for family wii night or with a group of friends. This game is worth the price.
