I got this game since I previously played Cooking Mama and Cooking Mama 2 (Dinner With Friends) and I was very excited about it. Now I’ve played it a few times, I’m very happy to have gotten it. With this game if you have previously played either of the Cooking Mama games, then you’ll probably have an idea of what to expect. The format isn’t greatly different from them, it’s still very easy to pick up and figure out.
What I love about these games are, kids can have so much fun with them but an adult can also have a go too. Some of the task may be a little easy for an adult but some may not be (especially if you’re going for gold).
If you haven’t played any of the Cooking Mama games, then the style of the game is a little something like this, your goal is to plant something, such as a tulip but its broken down into stages, seeding, digging a hole, and so on. Theres nice obvious instructions on what to do for each task that needs to be done in order to plant something. There is also directions for you to follow, which is very helpful. My cousin loves this game too as it gives her an idea of how to garden, in a fun way.

Mama is back! And this time she has traded in her whisk for a shovel! That’s right..Mama gardens now!
The setup is virtually the same as in Cooking Mama. You garden things and then you get a grade for it. There are a couple changes that are worth noting however:
One bonus is that the game is in bird’s eye view; you get to roam the garden and select what you want to grow. More options become available as you progress and your garden expands into new areas. You also get more plants to grow as you go along.
Another nice thing is that you can change Mama’s outfits and even decorate your garden with the bonus prizes you earn. This is fun when you want to take a break from gardening.
The major difference with Gardening Mama from Cooking Mama is that instead of just cooking a dish and being done you have to allow your plants to grow. So when you garden something you are not done for a while. There are many steps to garden until you get a finished product. Sometimes you can even make food from a plant. It can get kind of annoying waiting for plants to grow because you have to watch them. If you forget about one Mama will come on the screen and alert you, which gets tedious. But other than that waiting for plants isn’t too bad.
I would recommend this game for any Cooking Mama fan or anyone wanting to try out the series. It is very fun alone or in single-card download mode. The developers have been consistent with the look and gameplay of the series, which keeps it familiar yet still refreshing. A must for all Mama fans!

I like most others that have reviewed this item, loved the Cooking Mama games. I figured since I liked those then I would definitely like this game, boy was I right. This game is very fun, and addictive. I have to say that I like it better than the cooking mama games. It is set up alittle different than the cooking mama games but nothing major to make it difficult to play.
In this game you will grow different kinds of flowers, vegetables, and fruit. You receive gifts as you do things to get your plants to grow. It’s a really nice addictive game. I have had this game for about a month now, and still have not completed the game, and I play it every night for at least 1/2 hour before I go to bed. If you liked the cooking mama games, and enjoy action/arcade/time management games you will really enjoy this game and will not be disappointed!!

I picked up Gardening Mama just a few days ago when I broke down and bought myself a DSi. I had never played Cooking Mama, but when that game had first come out on the DS I was working at EB Games/Gamestop and I remember how popular it was. Since I like flowers and I assumed it was based off of the popular Cooking Mama, I picked it up and tried it out later that day. I played it while doing laundry, and before I realized it THREE HOURS had gone by! The game really is fun, and quite addicting! I’m hoping to pick up the original Cooking Mama soon.

Bought this for my 8 year old daughter for her birthday. She had the Cooking Mama and loves it, so for her birthday she wanted the Gardening Mama. She enjoys playing it, although she does play the Cooking Mama more.
