Cooked or Be Cooked? I think your cooked


SANTA CLARA, Calif., (Nov. 3, 2009) – Hungry? Wish you knew how to whip up the perfect T-bone steak, or maybe just a quick pasta with meat balls? Good news. Leading video games developer and publisher NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc., announced today that Food Network: Cook or Be Cooked is now available at retail stores throughout North America for Wii™. Developed in partnership with Food Network, the first cable network dedicated to the power and joy of food, players can now learn the real, practical skills needed to cook more than 30 mouth-watering Food Network-worthy recipes. http://www.gamerevolution.com/screen/wii/food-network-cook-or-be-cooked



Now maybe its me but I don't think cook or be cooked is going to be a big hit in the gaming world. I wonder who exactly was the game developers trying to target? Loyal Food Network Watchers who happen to have a Wii? Hardcore gamers who would definitely have a Wii? Maybe Guy Fieri while playing with his Wii said to himself, "Dude there outta be a cooking game and I should be in it and that would be kewl". No matter where the idea came from....it should have stayed on the drawing board.

Don't listen to me, let's see how the gaming world feel about it.

Modes: Bad
Graphics: Good
Sound: Good
Control and Gameplay: Poor
Replayability: Bad
Balance: Poor
Originality: Mediocre
Addictiveness: Decent
Appeal Factor: Poor
Miscellaneous: Bad
FINAL SCORE: BELOW AVERAGE GAME! DieHardGameFan.com

There are more of these types of reviews but I figured one was plenty.

Oh well you buy it for Christmas and come back and tell me if I'm wrong.
