Topic: Iron Chef Game Announced!

Except it's crappy Iron Chef America which no one should care about because it sucks and isn't the original awesome one featuring Chairman Kaga.

Check out the story here

^That says it all doesn't it?

they should take it and "rock band" it.  Have it come packed together with a kitchen standium set

I love Iron Chef the series, and I would consider buying this game even if it sucks, because the concept of the game is exciting.

The Person who stated they need to "Rock Band" it.

I actually like your idea, but not adding a Kitchen Stadium, but make it more like a rythme game.  Here is what I mean.  

Iron Chef is about cooking great gourmet foods quickly and flawlessly and then being judged.  Well, you can't just easily translate that into a game, because tasting food is weird.

What you can do though create a game where you are doing simple actions in a correct rythme to finish the dish properly.  Messing up will either make the food taste bad or slow you down.  The more complicated the dishes the harder and longer it takes to create and therefore the more actions you have to do properly to get it right.

Now, add to that the ability to manage the Suis Chefs and how they are cooking, and then being able to create your own plate designs it could be very fun.  

I also like that you can pick from the large menu for each secret ingredient available...perhaps something like 20 different dishes for each secret ingredient.

Also you could attempt flair challenges to make your food better if you have the time, but it would be a big reward/risk proposition...if you make mistakes you can really make your food taste bad.

Some info on the controls and the game.

I've said it before and I'll say it again... Iron Chef needs to be more like Mortal Kombat. If you've ever watched the original (and far superior) series, you'd know what a perfect fit it'd be too. The flair for dramatics, if nothing else, would translate perfectly. Chairman Kaga is totally Shang Tsung, with each Iron Chef representing a different colored ninja. Perhaps Iron Chef Kobe could be the Goro-like character who rarely battles but tends to kick complete ass when summoned. Heck, why not throw in the new Iron Chefs as well, just to be complete? So long as Bobby Flay and Micheal Symon don't speak it wouldn't be too bad.

Holy crap.  It's Alton Headroom.

Wow, I love and hate the art-style at the same time.  The character designs are cool but totally over the top creepy.
