But does he swear? If he doesn't, then a big component of the TV show is lost, wouldn't you say?
Yesterday marked the release of Ubisoft's Hell's Kitchen: The Video Game (the FOX show has been advertising the game for the past several weeks). Chef Ramsay does the voice for his character, and the game actually sounds rather cool, if it works the way it's described. Players go through three rounds of cooking (preparing the food, cooking it, and then the service), and Ramsay judges you. He can shut down the kitchen if you're not doing well, and you even get an "Advanced" mode where the customers become jerks and send the food back. Go through certain levels and you get access to special Gordon Ramsay recipes.
The game is available in many formats: PC, Mac, Wii, and Nintendo DS. I wonder the game is on Wii? Do you get to drop things in the kitchen using your hands, or maybe even smoke cigarettes like the chefs do on the show (and in the real world -- every single kitchen I ever worked in had chefs and other workers that smoked)?
I'm not sure about the graphics though. I mean, Ramsay is intense in the kitchen, but this thing makes him look like a killer from beyond the grave. From what they showed on the series, the moving, 3D Ramsay looks rather scary as you play the game.

I have the demo, but haven't played it. I know if he yells at me I will probably have hysterics!

I downloaded the version that fox put on the website and it gets intense but the the thing is you are also running the dining room not just the kitchen. The prepping of food (which you click on and it spins around then falls into smaller pieces in the bowl), seating the door, getting the order, cooking the order, when the patrons are finished you bus their tables (also between meals) and cash them out. He doesn't swear but i didn't buy the $19.99 one that does include swearing. I just got the free version. You still get the recipes but there isn't an advanced mode. I've already beat it in a week. But I couldn't get his voice out of my head for weeks after.

Heh looks pretty cool.. Love Hells Kitchen and i must say this looks fun to play.. Saw some in-game stuff from Deadliest Catch, another show i love, and that looked really boring.. it looks like they catched the essence of the show!
