User Reviews about Food Network: Cook or be Cooked
Great game! Our grandaughter (9) loves it! She really hates it when the judges "die" after sampling the dish she cooked :) She is actually learning to cook from the game! -- Cook or be Cooked!
I liked that I could play this with my son. I think he, at 14, picked up a few cooking tips, but I'm an experienced cook and there wasn't anything noteworthy there for me as far as cooking or recipes went. It took me a while to pick up the game, but it was fun learning how to play it. My son jumped right in and was beating me in no time. The controls were easy enough, I think I'm just getting old. :)
I felt like it was a good family game. We played it a good bit for about 2 weeks, then he beat it, and lost interest. It's fun enough when you are playing it, but it wasn't overly memorable for us after a while.
Good family fun though, and I noticed my son's interest in REALLY cooking perked up after he got this. I have to give it a 4 for that reason alone. -- Ok for a while
I picked this game up on sale and what can I say? I didn't expect much. I've never finished a Wii game before and I was hoping that Cook or Be Cooked would be enough motivation to dust off our old Wii and give it a try.
This game is so much fun. Not only that, it's based off of actual recipes and you get really cool cooking tips during the game! What I like most is that there is a great aspect of realism when it comes to gameplay. Multitasking is important, as well as speed. This game is incredibly easy to pick up and I think anyone can learn. I was cranking out silver medal dishes after two tries. Not only is it easy, it's really interactive. The controls aren't all finicky like in other cooking games and you can pretty much make do with vigorously shaking your Wii-mote and nunchuck when chopping.
If I had a complaint to make about this game, it'd be the lack of content. I'm definitely no avid gamer and I ended up beating this game in two days. I really wish they added more than just 30-odd recipes to the list. They have breakfast, lunch, dinner, but no dessert!
Either way, I highly recommend this game to adults. I bet kids would like it, but it doesn't have the childish fun aspect to it like Cooking Mama or any of those kid-centered games out there. -- Easy to get into.
I really enjoyed this game, but after about 2 hours of play, I was pretty much done with it. The 30+ recipes thing is not true. There are only 12 dishes to make, and I had finished the game in only a few hours. I wish there was more to the game, as it is very enjoyable and very helpful with tips on cooking techniques. -- Wish there was more!
I bought this game because I had read reviews else where and the people were saying it was the best game.... um not so much. Its pretty boring and there are not enough recipes, I beat the game within an hour and half. This would probably be a good game for kids but not so much for adults. -- Maybe a good game for kids ...
