Cooking Mama is a lot of fun but not what I was expecting. I got it for my 11 year old daughter. Her friend has Cooking Mama 2 and they are both addicting to the Mama series. I recently got her the game. She does enjoy this game a lot but I hear her yelling at her DS occasionaly. She has showed me the game and I think it's very cute. Though on some steps it's very frusterating. She really likes it  but is already on her 3rd way through because she completed everything. It has very cutesy graphics but the part where Mama's eyes go on fire and she looks like she is going to throttle someone is a bit much. Overall Cooking Mama is a fun game but should only be bought for children 8 and up.
