Bree's Review:

This game stars Gordon Ramsay, the famed British chef and television presenter known for his role on the show Hell's Kitchen. In the game, Ramsay acts as an A.I., monitoring players as they take orders, cook, and serve food to customers. He might "encourage" you to speed up by yelling from a corner of the screen, arms crossed, watching every move. The game offers both single-player and multiplayer modes. In single-player, you progress through 35 increasingly challenging days of service. Cooking involves timing your dishes correctly to ensure everything is served promptly. If your performance drops below one star, Ramsay will demand you "get out of his kitchen." During my playthrough, I aimed for high ratings each day, sometimes replaying levels to improve my score, though it occasionally led to wrist discomfort from repetitive motions. Multiplayer mode allows for either cooperative play, where you work together to serve dishes, or competitive play, where you vie against each other. I fondly remember playing competitively with my younger brother, who would deliberately make mistakes just to provoke Ramsay’s famous outbursts, adding a humorous twist to our gameplay. Overall, the game’s emphasis on time management and the unique twist of having Ramsay oversee your culinary efforts make it entertaining, especially with its amusing take on his fiery television persona.
