This game is mindless enough to play for a short break where you don't want to have to "think" too much, but it's not so mindless that it's boring. The mini-tasks within each recipe help break up any monotony, and it's easy to play for both shorter and longer periods of time. Above all else, it's really fun to be able to use the touch screen to its full capacity!
K random headline but anyway about this game. The minigames can get really repetetive as you use the same ones for different recepies. I wouldn't have had any idea there were 200! They must be counting stirring soup and stirring batter as two different games even though they're identical. You can learn a thing or two about cooking here, though.
Our family enjoys this game. It gets a litle boring after awhile but it is fun to use the remotes and watch people cut, chop and stir things.. it cute and fun.
