Like the 1st game, it's a good on the go game with a few major flaws.
Clearly they tried to fix this problem by adding bonus items. While earning bonus items by making a great dish is fine and all, it just wasn't enough to keep this mini-game collection from being far too short.
Another thing the game does wrong is that it automatically asumes that you played the first game and thus skips the tutorial. So if you are new to this series, you are going to screw up many a time on your first few trys.
The good thing is the game controls well. But I'm not so sure it controls as well as the first game. In fact all the mini games control great except a few that completely fail in the control department. And winning some of the mini games (just like the first game) is pure luck. I thought this was supposed to be skill!
So while this game may be fun for a short period of time, I wouldn't suggest buying it unless you are a major fan of the series. While it's fun and all, there isn't enough here to make it purchase worthy (especially when it's going for $29.99 new!)
