Best Nintendo DS Games For Girls - Cooking Mama
Cooking Mama is among the top 4 best Nintendo DS games for girls. It is the first game in the Cooking Mama series, and the first in a long-line of cooking games. The game is also fun for boys and adults, but it is most popular with young girls.
Playing the Game
Cooking Mama is a simulation game in which you pretend to prepare and cook various meals. Your cooking skills are judged by a chef named Cooking Mama, who is also your guide during the game.
Completing a task before the half-way mark earns you bonus points. Practice each recipe before trying for a score though because mistakes cost points. In the end, you earn a bronze, silver, or gold medal.
The game is played with the stylus and the built-in microphone. You never have to use the Nintendo DS buttons with this game.
You move the food and utensils around with the stylus on the Nintendo DS touchscreen.
The Recipes
This game has 76 recipes in all. Some items on the menu include fried chicken, potato
salad, and vegetable curry.
You can create unique recipes by combining items from the menu. And there are mini-games separate from the recipes that test your cooking skills.
Helping Young Players
This game is good for all ages and requires some reading.
The only way to prepare the recipes is to read what Cooking Mama tells you to do.
My 3-year-old niece and I play this game all the time. I read the instructions while she cooks the meals.
I recommend Cooking Mama to parents looking for a game to play with a young child. It’s also a good non-violent game that older kids, teens, and adults can play. (Michelle Strait)
