I really like Cooking Mama Cook Off and how it used realistic like Wii motion controls, although I will admit the responsiveness is not the best. This new one really disappointed me control wise and seemed like a step backwards in that it uses far less realistic movement things while improving responsiveness only a little. Plus it lacks any true in game tutorials making it further confusing, especially for those who have played the first.
