Product Information

It's fun unlocking more recipies and it feels like it has more things to do than other Cooking Mama games to me.

Just follow Mama’s instructions and create delicious and decadent treats that you can share with your friends. It's a bit confusing how we got here in the first place, but here's the summary: Cooking Mama: Cookstar is licensed by Office Create, the company that owns the Cooking Mama franchise. What we do know is this: Cooking Mama: Cookstar was a weird game with a lot of unanswered questions about its creation and ownership.The game plays very similarly to the original Cookstar with the main differences being a different cast of characters being the female lead along with a roster of judges, a change in overall art style, and voice acting and some of the dialog written by staff from National Lampoon with sound and music produced by Nile Rodgers. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. Travis Northup of IGN gave the game 3 out of 10, praising the detailed recipes featured in the game, but criticizing the monotonous gameplay, poor motion controls, "nightmarish" voice acting, and lack of meaningful progression. Its publisher claimed that it was the first implementation of blockchain technology on a major video game console, using the technology to implement a form of digital rights management; however, the details of this proposal were never expanded upon publicly, and blockchain support is not present in the final game in any form.

Cooking Mama: Cookstar is no longer available for purchase as of November 2022, when the International Court of Arbitration ruled that Office Create's IP rights had been infringed by the game and granted their request to have it removed from sale.In addition, she praised the game's photo mode and Yoko Nishino's "charming" performance as Mama, stating that the character felt "like a tangible, adorable dork of a mother.
