Product Description

Platform: Nintendo Wii

Hell’s Kitchen is a TV phenomenon featuring world-renowned chef Gordon Ramsay putting aspiring chefs through rigorous culinary tests. The game recreates the show's pressure-cooker atmosphere as players complete a series of kitchen and dining room challenges to find out if they have what it takes to be a "Five-Star" chef. Fulfilling an order requires three important phases - preparation, cooking and service, all of which players must master to progress. Prepare ingredients, cook them to the correct quality and get food out of the kitchen on time. Each complete meal is scored by Chef Gordon Ramsay to make the kitchen boot camp experience come alive.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's decent, but game lacks what makes Hell's Kitchen a great show, September 13, 2008

I wished this game lived up to the TV show, the show is dramatic, tense, and fun to watch. This game is somewhat a combination of Diner Dash, and Order Up. If you like the arcade style of game go with Diner Dash, and if you like to cook try Cooking MaMa, or Order Up.

This game has you managing a restaurant, so you are the server, bus boy, host, and oh yes, you are the cook too. I think this is where the game goes wrong, it should have been a game where you could have played either part, but nope, you do both. The cooking isn't skillful it is mearly clicking on the food and making sure it is timed correctly. No fun movement of the controller to cook.

I don't think this game is going to have a long playability, there are not levels. The vocals to get repetitive, but you do hear Gordon's comments being bleeped so that is kinda fun. I have found the graphics to be a bit hard to read. They went for detail, which means you need a really large TV or you need to sit close to read a lot of what is on the game.

This game had some good ideas, but as an overall game it isn't well pulled together. I was hoping for a game where I could really cook and maybe be in competition with other chefs. This game fails to meet that critera. The game play is ok, the graphics are hard to read, and I don't think this is a title you will be able to play for a long time. I would recommend this game once it hits the bargin bin.

I was a little bit disappointed with this game. The graphics are good, and it is reminiscent of the t.v show, but the game is really short. I beat the whole game after about 4 total hours of playing, and it isn't exactly one of those games that is interesting enough to keep playing even after you beat it.

I bought this game as a Christmas present for my spouse. She is a huge fan of the show and was looking forward to playing the game. Playing in one player mode is a bit mundane however, we have found that playing in multi-player cooperative mode is very entertaining. We both love the fact that we get to play as a team and work to achieve a perfect score for Chef Ramsey. We very much recommend this game for couples. If you are looking for a game where you can get very detailed in the cooking of food then this may not be your thing. The skill required for Hells Kitchen is more timing than executing proper recipes. That's fine for us as neither of us aspire to be true chefs. It is also not for young children, as Chef Ramseys' attitude when mad is very mean spirited in nature. Not to mention the inference of foul language hidden by beeping sounds.
