    Gardening Mama: Forest Friends is different from the classic outfit of the series, but not in the right way though. The game offers more management, but this also makes it slow, repetitive and sometimes totally disconnected from where it came.

    This gardening themed spin-off carries over all the issues with the main chapter of Cooking Mama. There's no depth in the minigames and player progression, and that doesn't help an overall uninteresting offer.

    After a bright start Gardening Mama’s irritating faults will have you wanting to throw in the trowel.

    While Gardening Mama tries to improve the classic minigame formula by building a sort of structure with some "managerial" features, the result is a shallow, uninventive and interesting... classic minigame formula kind of title.

    Gardening Mama 2 is worthless.

    Gardening Mama takes the series one notch down by focusing on redundant and plain useless activities which make little sense. The experience is repetitive and simply not fun, even for the less demanding audience.

    Disappointing all over.
