There's something that's just so much fun about chopping up ingredients, stirring soup, etc. with the Wiimote. It's a repetitive game, but I got hooked on it. There were many times I laughed at my mistakes, like when I aggressively dumped a bowl of rice into the sink and when I put a hot dog into a bun with half of the hot dog sticking completely out of one side.

Some of the things Mama says are hard to understand, and I would have appreciated subtitles. I also did not like the extra mode where you compete with a character and try to make food quicker and more precisely than they do. Lots of just waiting for them to finish what they're doing. I laughed at how many times "American Friend" repeatedly smashed eggs on the side of a bowl.

I'm going to hear "Wonderful! Better than Mama!" in my head every time I prepare food for the rest of my life.
