Hell’s Kitchen is a game soon to be released in the US on several platforms. This review is based off the PC version. The game is based on a reality TV show on FOX. The premises show is about a chef known for his flaming temper, foul mouth, and excellent cooking skills. His name is Gordon Ramsay. The show has chefs competing on opposing teams to complete challenges, and conduct dinner service at the Hell’s Kitchen restaurant. If you were hoping to have an experience similar to the show, prepare for disappointment.

The game play involves the dining area, and the kitchen. Running the dining area includes seating your customers, taking their orders, you will need to tell your waiter to deliver the food, remove the plates between starters, main course, and after their dessert. Running the kitchen involves stirring ingredients, and dragging specified ingredients to a picture hovering above the cooking device for every order. You must wait for the ingredients are prepared before you cook them, watch a timer so they don’t get burned and place the dishes on the counter to be sent to the dining area. You have to constantly switch back and forth between the dining area and the kitchen.

During the whole time in both the dining and kitchen areas there will be a flaming time meter, as time passes the flame slowly goes down. Quickly addressing issues in the dining area, and accuracy in making the food causes the flaming time meter goes up. So you must be quick with the mouse and click accurately. This combination makes this game great for players who like having to think quickly.

The graphics are a outdated, the animated character of Chef Ramsay looks somewhat like the real Chef Ramsay. But don’t buy this game if you are looking for next generation graphics. The graphics fail to make you feel you are on the show.

The sound is just a low background noise; it doesn’t change at all during the game. Some variety would have been nice, maybe at least play the main theme song in the background. In a short amount of time you probably won’t even notice the background music while playing.

The creativity is severely lacking based on content. The game is extremely repetitious. Each day of the game you do basically the same thing only it gets a little harder. Over time you feel like you are in an endless loop of doing the exact same thing over and over each level you reach.

There is not much innovation to be found in this game. If you haven’t seen the show, the game could possibly convince you the show is boring. There is no excitement in this game. The only positive thing is that if you like quick thinking; you definitely feel the pressure as if you were on the show.
The bottom line: The game is not worth buying.
