Product Description
Do you have what it takes to be a "Five-Star" chef? Hell's Kitchen is a TV phenomenon featuring world-renowned chef Gordon Ramsay putting aspiring chefs through rigorous culinary tests. The game recreates the show's pressure-cooker atmosphere as you complete a series of kitchen and dining room challenges. Fulfilling an order requires three important phases - preparation, cooking and service, all of which you must master to progress. Prepare ingredients, cook them to the correct quality and get food out of the kitchen on time. Each complete meal is scored by Chef Gordon Ramsay to make the kitchen boot camp experience come alive.

 Hell's Kitchen not even close September 28, 2008
This is the most boring and repetitive game I've ever seen. You just click on things to do them in the right order and quick enough. That's it, clicking on things, that's not a game and it sure isn't worth paying form. HORRIBLE
 Amazing translation from the show September 23, 2008
If you've never seen the show you may want to check it out for a few episodes before playing this game. By itself this would be a really good and unique play due to the unusual presentation and objectives (a cooking game that's actually interesting and fun? COOL!" The game really shines when you know the show though. I've rarely seen a show or movie or comic book translate so well and so faithfully to a video game. Everything you've come to expect from the show is here, from the challenges to Chef Ramsey's overlording. Great fun for chefs or game show fans.
It's decent, but game lacks what makes Hell's Kitchen a great show September 14, 2008

I wished this game lived up to the TV show, the show is dramatic, tense, and fun to watch. This game is somewhat a combination of Diner Dash, and Order Up. If you like the arcade style of game go with Diner Dash, and if you like to cook try Cooking MaMa, or Order Up.
This game has you managing a restaurant, so you are the server, bus boy, host, and oh yes, you are the cook too. I think this is where the game goes wrong, it should have been a game where you could have played either part, but nope, you do both. The cooking isn't skillful it is mearly clicking on the food and making sure it is timed correctly. No fun movement of the controller to cook.
I don't think this game is going to have a long playability, there are not levels. The vocals to get repetitive, but you do hear Gordon's commenets being bleeped so that is kinda fun. I have found the graphics to be a bit hard to read. They went for detail, which means you need a really large TV or you need to sit close to read a lot of what is on the game.
This game had some good ideas, but as an overall game it isn't well pulled together. I was hoping for a game where I could really cook and maybe be in competition with other chefs. This game fails to meet that critera. The game play is ok, the graphics are hard to read, and I don't think this is a title you will be able to play for a long time. I would recommend this game once it hits the bargin bin.
