Wanpaku Kokkun no Gourmet World Review



"Wanpaku Kokkun no Gourmet World" or "Naughty Kokkuns Gourmet world" is one of my favorite newly bought games. Although this is a short game, it sure is one great gaming experience. First of this game has perfect difficulty since the 1st stage feels easy enough and for each level the game gets progressively harder. At the last 2 levels the game gets hard enough to challenge you, but not hard enough to make you shut of the game and make you go look for another game that's not as brutally hard.

The music isn't bad at all but its definitely not as good as it could have been. I feel like they didn't put enough effort in the music division like they should have.

The story goes like this: The evil chef "Hors D'Oeuvre" has taken over your restaurant and its up to you "Naughty Kokkun" to take it back.
Every boss and enemy in this game are food related. Everything from "Hamburgers" to "running grilled chicken" are out to kill you.

There have been some changes from the Famicom to NES. For instance "Kokkun" looked noting like the hero in the NES version and in the Famicom version he's standard attack is to hit the enemy's with he's head, but in the NES version he uses a black frying pan.

You can pick upp several weapons in this weird food-platformer. And they are:

Spoon - has a longer reach and a bit more powerful, but its a bit slower.
Fork - It's used like a "pogo-stick" and you can only hit enemies tat's underneath you .
Dishes - Probably the best weapon in this game, you throw dishes at enemies.
Pan - Pretty much like the "star" in Mario Bros except that you have a big pan over your head and you spin around and are invincible for a short period of time.

Instead of naming the levels simply 1 trough 6 they made it look like a food menu and the stages are called:

Stage 1 - Appetizer
Stage 2 - Soup
Stage 3 - Salad
Stage 4 - Fish
Stage 5 - Meat
Stage 6 - Dessert

Well this is a short and fun game, so if you ever want to kill 15 - 20 min then just play "Wanpaku Kokkun no Gourmet World" Or "Panic Restaurant" if you live in the rest of the world.
