I do have to note, as stupid as the Cooking Mama games are (because they don't actually teach you how to cook), they are pretty addictive to play. I mean, you could apply the same to Trauma Center because they don't actually teach you how to perform life saving surgery, but that actually has a plot and is on a whole different level of game complexity (I don't want to spoil it so I won't mention anything plot related, hehe). However, with Cooking Mama, if I tried to make the Ton Katsu from it or even just rice--those steps are horribly inaccurate! Not to mention they don't even note cooking time.
