Gamertell has posted a fairly negative review of Majesco's Gardening Mama game for DS.
From the review:
"...Taito and Majesco have decided to branch out and see how well Mama will do in other, similar situations. Could she be so charming and magnetic a figure, and the gameplay so addicting, that all sorts of spin-offs could find the same success? Gardening Mama is the first attempt to test and see just how much Mama people want...
Gardening Mama is boring. There, I've said it. It tries to utilize the same system and control used in Cooking Mama, but it doesn't quite work. While cooking involves all sorts of different actions and activities to result in a successful creation, gardening doesn't."

Get ready to help devastate an entire forest by growing produce for your furry capitalist friends under the watchful eye of Mama - who is, of course, running this entire operation. Seeds of friendship are nowhere to be found, as your woodland neighbours only drop by for a stock refill. Luckily, the threat of being driven off your farm in an Orwellian coup is minimal, as their grasp of commerce is about as firm as the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man’s resolve to finally start that diet.

Since then, she has been back with more titles, not only for the DS, but for the Wii as well (also iPhone and iPad). Taking us into our virtual kitchens to cook up some fantastic recipes, sharpen our skills, decorate our kitchen and Mama herself with accessories, and most of all, not to burn our food and make her angry and see that fire in her eyes.
