Iron Chef America: Supreme Cuisine

Iron Chef America: Supreme Cuisine for the Wii (see GAMESPOT Review) is another game that brings to mind the infamous E.T. game for the Atari. Surely if you’re a gamer, you’ve heard of that. We’re talking before the Nintendo came out, though, a long, long, very long time ago. Well, ok, maybe not so long. It was a quickly put together “game” (without much gameplay) sent to market to capitalize on the movie E.T. Needless to say, it upset a lot of people when they popped the game in thinking about the movie and got … well, nothing really close to the movie.

Enter Iron Chef America: Supreme Cuisine. I’m not saying it’s as bad or worse than the E.T. game of ill repute, but … well, let’s just say maybe it’s similar in that it’s based on a popular franchise (Iron Chef America) and perhaps not a lot of time was spend in “preparation” for the game. Oh, it might be kinda interesting for a die hard Iron Chef America fan, but only if you want some laughs maybe.

In the later levels of the game you do get to pit yourself against some of the master Iron Chefs from the television show, but you have to go through so many things to get there that it might not be worth it.

The game is made up of several mini-games that make you dice, chop, mix, boil, etc. The controls have been said to be a little wonky, though, making the mini-games not so much fun as boring and tedious – without any food at the end.

Overall, Iron Chef America: Supreme Cuisine may be ok for a tried and true fan of the series, but for others, you might want to pass this dish up.

If you think we’re wrong, we’d love to know why! Leave a comment below.

Til next time, keep that trigger thumb in shape.
