14 DAY TRIAL // Cooking Mama: Cook Off is a video game for the Wii, developed by OfficeCreate and published by Majesco. As any game for the Wii, its main purpose is to provide loads of fun for the players with the Wii's one-of-a-kind motion sensitive control system. The game however, once released proved to be quite difficult and frustrating for the player, regarding controls. Simple operations such as rolling truffles or cracking eggs are impossible for the player to do, if not using a set of instructions. Speaking of which, here are some tips on how to successfully flip items in the frying pan, stir soup, crack eggs and more, using the Wii Remote, coming from the publisher via Joystiq:
- For rolling truffles, place the Wii Remote flat in the palm of your hand, as if it were the truffle. Once in your hand, roll the Wii Remote in your hand as if it were the truffle. - For egg cracking, hold the Wii Remote up in the air vertically and bring it down as if there were an invisible bowl in front of you. - To grind meat, hold the Wii Remote horizontally in your hand and make the crank motion as if there were a meat grinder in front of you. - For stirring, hold the Wii Remote upside down and stir as if it were a spoon. - To flip items in the frying pan, flick your wrist as you would with a real pan. Three flips consecutively will earn you bonus points. - Cracking 3 eggs with only one initial attempt will earn you bonus points. - In certain recipes, you can turn the heat up or down on the stove before the direction reaches the line.
I have to say, with the instructions given here, not even retards could miss. Do this and that... as if it were in front of you...? Jeez! Well, I guess it comes in handy actually picturing the meat getting tenderized, while you twist and turn the Wii Remote around. Now that everything is clear, print the instructions list and go grind your virtual meat, stat!
