Gourmet Action Game : Manpuku!! Nabe Kazoku

About

Gourmet Action Game - Manpuku!! Nabe Kazoku is another cooking game from Media Entertainment, like Yakiniku Bugyou. This one's a good deal simpler than even that simple game, as you don't have to worry yourself over placing the food, flipping it halfway, or judging when it's done: you just wait for the food to drop into the broiling bowl, then wait for "OK" to appear over it, then you click on it to dish it into your character's mouth. Munch! So where's the game, you ask? Well it's really a quick reaction game now, without a whole ton of strategy. To be sure, certain items are worth more points in certain stages, and sometimes you can grab a "flash fry" (my phrase) icon that instantly cooks everything to perfection, then go on a serving spree, and I suppose if you were really good you could time bumping your opponent's (or the CPU's) chopsticks so that they accidentally serve up a half-cooked morsel to their character, but by and large it's about being the first one to the "OK" food.
