Cooking Mama Cook Off for Wii

This was the first game I owned for the Wii. In fact, I got this game before I even owned a Wii. My Mom bought the game because I recommended it, and she hated it so much she gave it to me. I recommended it because I have the game for the DS and I like it. But this game isn't as good as the DS version. Maybe it's just the motion control that makes it not as good. I don't know. I still like it though.
The basis of the game is simple. You get a bunch of recipes to pick from to make. As you complete recipes, you unlock more.
As you see here, you do a little bit of each recipe to make it. You can chop, grate, crack eggs, mix ingredients, and so forth. Obviously you have to move your controller in different motions to do each thing. Now I don't have a horribly steady arm, so some of the "preparing" can be a pain. Like peeling, you have to move your controller up and down across the food on the screen and you're timed. It's crazy.
After each "preparation", you get graded based on how quickly you passed it and how "correct" you did it. Like when your cracking eggs, if you did it before time was up and you didn't break any of them before getting it all over the place, you'd get a gold medal. As you can see above, I didn't get a gold medal cause I broke a few eggs, but managed to get the amount I needed within the time limit.
And that's that. Rinse and repeat. It's fun, but others would consider it work. And it's not too far from the truth.
