I decided to buy the Personal Trainer: Cooking Nintendo DS game because I got tired of cooking the same meals day in and day out. Now that I have it I'm absolutely happy! The game gives you a lot of recipes and you can customize the game to only give you recipes with the ingredients you want to use. It has a voice input mode so you can verbally tell the DS to turn the page while making your meals. The only down side is its limited to the recipes that it has. There is no updating of the recipe list. Like for example, you could go online to download more recipes to add to the collection. It doesn't do that. All in all though, I would recommend this game to anyone looking to spice up their dinner table with a meal from every country around the world.
My sons (10 and 12) are budding chefs so they thought this was great. It’s good fuel for their imaginations and if I get a few good dinners out of it that’s just icing on the cake. It’s not as comprehensive as a normal cookbook but it is a good tool for them to explore the world of food and develop practical kitchen skills. They’re also far more interested in trying new things when it’s their idea. In your face, chicken fingers.

This is so easy to use! Made Lasagna last night and it turned out wonderfully. The grocery list is a very good touch and the timer is helpful too. Being able to add notes is helpful if I want to change a recipe a tad. The instructions for prep are quite basic but for younger cooks--teens--the prep information would be helpful. You can also have the verbal instructions start from wherever you want them to so you can skip the prep part if you like. On the con side--there are not enough substitutions on the list provided. Most of them are all foreign ingredients. Basic substitutes would be more helpful. The mic is very sensitive. I don't know whether that is a good thing or not --if my kids spoke to me the program would kick in and say "excuse me?" or something like that. I had quite a bit of fun listening to the chef and even having a game open up because I used the timer for the dish--great! Nice surprise. :) So far the program is an A and I would recommend it for anyone wanting to jazz up their cooking routine. It gets boring to just look at a piece of paper and go from there. Great "game" Go Nintendo! Atari's Jamie Oliver "game" holds nothing to this and after seeing Personal Trainer Cooking the Atari "game" I had bought first, can go in the trash! Nintendo is awesome!Vollständige Rezension lesen
Excellent game! I've played it before, but I wanted my own copy. Well, I can't say "PLAYED" it... But still. This is a RECIPE book game, NOT an actual jumpin' and shootin'-- actual gameplay game. The game goes into detail on how to make foods and dishes. You can chose dishes by calorie count, easiness, types of meat/veggies and a few other ways. You even have a shopping list of the ingredients you need for your dish-- and what you can replace! It has all it's food sorted by regions. I think that's cool because, if you want some Indian food, you can just look in India! You can also chose from a list if you don't really mind what region. They are also separated by what kind of dish they are, like side-dish and so on. What really separates this game from all the others is: It has video examples. And instead of having to look it up, it can show you. Which is VERY handy for someone who doesn't know how to cook, or has friends to hang out with (me! boo hoo!)! Of course this is still a good game to try with the family! Kids can help out in certain parts why mom and dad or aunt and uncle or grandma and grandpa-- whoever it is, can do the "grown up stuff" like: put the veggie lasagna in the oven! I haven't tried any of these dishes yet, but I will! It's just... Sister already cooked for thanksgiving and there is no more room in the fridge, and I just got the game. hahah! I'm sure this is a great way to start cooking and to learn new dishes! After this, you can try even more recipes online and feel confident doing it! That's what I hope! Just gotta try it and keep practicing! (sorry for any grammer errors and spelling)Vollständige Rezension lesen
I bought this for my 10 year old daughter who loves to cook and for myself. I thought it would be interesting to see the different recipes and love the fact that there is step by step instructions. I like also, that you can search by regional food (Pasta, Meat dishes, etc...) and it's simple to understand. I would recommend this to anyone that is a first time cook, or someone who just wants to try something new.
