Cooking Mama: Cookstar keeps the basic Cooking Mama formula with a few new features. The new vegetarian mode lets players avoid cooking meat-based recipes. Players can also show off their creations in the in-game social media network and build their clout over time. Players can use motion controls while the system is in docked mode, or alternate touchscreen controls while playing handheld.

By RaptorMama cooked us a bland and tasteless episode. You will have understood, the table that is depicted here is not very bright.

By Robert MarrujoFor those who do get the chance, especially if they’re a fan of Cooking Mama, they can do a lot worse. For everyone else, this is a mostly middling effort that might have risen above with greater polish and ambition from all involved.

By Trevor GouldWhile there's definitely room for improvement and expansion, I can see kids liking this game quite a bit. There's plenty to unlock, and hearing that you did something better than Mama brings a smile. As someone new to the series, Cooking Mama: Cookstar felt reasonably fresh to me. But vets may find it more so resembles leftovers. Hopefully, the rights holder and publisher can work things out.

By Rhett WaselenchukIf you’re even able to find a copy of Cooking Mama: Cookstar, you should probably reconsider where you’re spending your money.

By Travis NorthupCooking Mama: Cookstar is a stale, undercooked simulator that needed a lot more time in the oven.
