You're not good enough for Ubisoft's Hell's Kitchen game

by Kyle Orland { Jul 10th 2008 at 1:25PM }

You! Stop what you're doing! What are you playing over there? Cooking Mama? You think that sort of pansy-ass cooking game is going to cut it here? You're pathetic! You wouldn't last a second in Ubisoft's video game version of the Fox TV show Hell's Kitchen, coming this September for the Wii, DS, PC and Macintosh.

That's right, you'd break down in tears the second a "faithfully rendered 3D Chef Ramsay" yelled at you for putting too much oregano in the marinara sauce or some other piddling infraction. Why don't you go running to your precious Cooking Mama if you can't take the pressure of "the show's high-pressure kitchen and dining room challenges." Of course, if you do that you won't get access to "authentic Gordon Ramsay recipes, including many that are offered exclusively to game owners." That's right, you play with the big boys, you get the big rewards.

Hold it! Did you just twist the Wii Remote when you were supposed to shake it? You did, didn't you. That's it, I'm closing this kitchen. You're cooking career is OVER!

This game better be rated M for foul language.

NATO_Duke @ Jul 10th 2008 1:30PM

This is a poor idea to me. I don't play games to be yelled at the entire time.

heh @ Jul 10th 2008 1:38PM

You clearly have never played rock band next to a drunk-off-his-ass singer before, have you?

The Artist formally known as Jesus @ Jul 10th 2008 1:37PM

Yea there are already people you could pay to do that to you.

Mikey??

Pureshooter @ Jul 10th 2008 1:46PM

Bitten in the ass by the reply system. This was for Volition, and it would've been mildly amusing.

Boyardee @ Jul 10th 2008 1:47PM

I like the show. But this game has no potential.

Jeff @ Jul 10th 2008 1:49PM

Spah's sappin' mah ooven...

j.howlett @ Jul 10th 2008 1:51PM

i'm not that into hell's kitchen, but his kitchen nightmare show is pretty good. i like the american and BBC versions.

SaltyGary @ Jul 10th 2008 2:05PM

I love when Ramsey calls people Donkeys. So classic, who the hell says that.

Lijik @ Jul 10th 2008 2:08PM

I hope theres an unlockable Kitchen nightmare minigame.
"You could sell vomit and no one would notice! This kitchen is a nightmare! More waggling next time, donkey!"

J @ Jul 10th 2008 2:09PM

Say what you want about him, but Chef Ramsay's heart is in the right place... Don't f- with my food!

Bigfoot @ Jul 10th 2008 2:12PM

I love the show. I still think Petrozza should have won.

mjs494 @ Jul 10th 2008 2:45PM

can't believe the girl with 3 years experience won.. absolutely ridiculous. he out did her every time and still lost.

juju187 @ Jul 10th 2008 3:01PM

she was a-HEAD of the game

zero2dash @ Jul 10th 2008 4:57PM

'I love the show. I still think Petrozza should have won.'

AMEN TO THAT

LeadBoxx @ Jul 10th 2008 5:31PM

Yeah Petrozza was robbed!

John @ Jul 11th 2008 1:22AM

Thanks all you who ruined the finale for me.

I have to get these shows off of torrents because I live overseas and hadn't seen the last episode yet.

Tez (PSN: Tezasaurus) @ Jul 10th 2008 2:27PM

I'VE HAD ENOUGH!

Bigfoot @ Jul 10th 2008 2:59PM

GET OUT!

Travis @ Jul 10th 2008 3:26PM

IT'S RAW!

Dan Davis @ Jul 10th 2008 6:59PM

SHUT IT DOWN!

offday @ Jul 10th 2008 2:35PM

What's with the claymation Chef Ramsey?

F1 @ Jul 10th 2008 2:53PM

Its like cooking mama for the hardcore!

juju187 @ Jul 10th 2008 3:02PM

ill give it a go on the pc. ill do it for the one liners

Ashley @ Jul 10th 2008 3:04PM

This game is already out for the PC and I have been playing it the last 2 weeks. I think it's a fun little game so far and can get pretty challenging.

Amanda @ Jul 10th 2008 3:09PM

I have already played through this game for PC...and unless they add some sort of content, don't waste your time. I played through it in about 4 hours, beginning to end...and that's getting the maximum 5 stars on every mission (there were only 6 missions I didn't get 5 stars on THE FIRST TIME THROUGH).

You have seven days (I think) of maybe 5 missions a piece where you have to make items with "ingredients" and serve them. Problem is, there's only 6 "ingredients"...poultry, meat, seafood, veggies, starches, and dairy. So no seperation for pork from beef or carrots from celery, in other words. Pathetic.

samfish @ Jul 10th 2008 3:32PM

Nice! More AAA quality software for Nintendo hardware from Ubisoft!

Questworld @ Jul 11th 2008 11:29PM

Too bad Ubisoft doesn't have its own Ramsey to send their awful Wii support back into the kitchen and have them do it over.

Viridium @ Jul 10th 2008 4:07PM

People seriously watch this show? Like enough people that someone thought a game based on the concept would be a good idea?

Then again I'm the guy who had no idea who Ryan Seacrest and Jeff Probst were when a guy at the office made a joke about them a couple months back. And I'm damn proud of it.
