Hell's Kitchen: The Videogame

To be honest I don't know what I was expecting when I rented this... Forgetting that it was on the Wii I had expected it to be more involving than it was... The basic idea of the game is that you start off as a dishwasher in Ramsey's kitchen and work your way up by collecting stars to become a 'legendary chef'.

It starts and you only have a couple of tables and one course to make for the customers. You have to sit them down, take their order, make the food, serve it to them at their table, clear it up and repeat for as many courses as they order which depends on the level you're playing at.

Basically you're in charge of the whole place making sure everything is running smoothly and the customers have what they want within a decent time frame. It's all about dragging ingredients into bowls or pots or the oven or whatever and keeping them all timed to finish at around the same time... Front of house is very similar in that you're clicking on the customer or the table and the maitre di will just do whatever it is he has to do at the respective table you've clicked on.

As you can imagine it gets harder as the game progresses eventually leading to you having six tables of customers each wanting three courses... It does become very repetative but at the same time it is also very addictive and I found myself going back to the levels where I hadn't got the coveted five stars in order to get them.

One addition to the game I did like however was that you get a load of recipes from the man himself.

It's not a bad game to fill in your day off but I wouldn't expect more than that from it and I wouldn't buy it... Definately a rental title in my opinion.
