Gardening Mama by TAITO Corporation: A Vile Waste of My Life and 99 Cents


I feel like my eyeballs have burnt out of their sockets from simply playing this absolutely atrocious ‘game’ (if it can be so called).  The premise: you are a ‘gardening mama’ (which is a contradiction in itself, as all mothers are gardeners), who must plant things in her garden, and open a bunch of random packets.  I wish one of those packets had contained a BOMB.

Graphics: Exactly the same as cooking mama (a much better game), but the graphics are truly the high point of this app.  Seriously, this is not saying much.

Controls: The controls are the most cumbersome that I have ever experienced.  You are expected to cut packets of seeds, plant seeds in the ground, and then harvest the full-grown plants.  This can be accomplished by touching your screen in certain ways; however, this often accomplishes nothing, because the game does not recognize any of your commands.  Ultimately, these controls suck @$$.

Gameplay: Does it even sound like a fun premise?!  Who the hell wants to garden on their iPod?  That’s what gardens are for!!!  The minigames are tedious and extremely boring; honestly, this feels less like a game and more like a punishment.  I would rather KILL MY FAVOURITE CHIHUAHUA THAN PLAY THIS PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A GAME.

Recap: I feel like I have DIED A LITTLE INSIDE from simply playing this horrible game.  I wish I had spent my time watching paint dry instead.  Avoid at all costs, go and buy pocket chef.

Graphics: 6/10 Controls: 2/10 Gameplay: -14/10

Overall: 1/10      DREADFUL

Sincerely,
The Saber-Toothed Haggis and The Unknown Unicorn
