Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



I know what you expected from an Iron Chef videogame, but that's not what this is. Instead of shoehorning the Food Network television show into a Wii Waggle, Cooking Mama-style formula game -- well, it is a Cooking Mama rip-off, but what makes it frightening is the production values, or lack thereof.

Instead of using cartoon art or even recorded video, the developers have opted to use some strange clay-looking...things as stand-ins for the Chairman, Alton Brown, and all the Iron Chefs. Instead of moving mouths, their faces deform as they talk and move. To see the chairman jump around makes my spine tingle. It haunts me at night. 

And here's where it goes from scary to batsh*t insane: The Chairman screams everything at you. Commands, food names, everything. At first it's funny. But then it starts to wear on you, and by the end of a session, you're cowering in the corner, shivering, doing everything you can to get the Chairman's chunky clay visage out of your mind.

Dude loves his sweet potato. Also, Chairman Kaga needs to put that I Am Omega bitch in his place.

... That was really freaky and awkward.

It almost seemed like something out of Robot chicken.

Worst Game Ever.

My god, I think I have an Alton Brown phobia now. Which is a real shame, 'cause I love Good Eats.

at least they used the real chairman from Iron Chef America.....

If they replaced Alton Brown in the game with Scott Wolf the Double Dragon is now complete

How can a show about food, turned into a game, lack so much taste.

Is this really a licensed video game or did some asshole with a copy of Blender or Anim80r manage to put one over on Destructoid?

This is basically like something that Adult Swim would come up with for a mid season replacement when the new Superjail episode is delayed.

Okay, I'm a fan of Alton Brown, but damn...the character style looks like The Dark Eye, and that creeped me the hell out, too. At least they did it on purpose.
