Ubisoft Serves Up Hell's Kitchen: The Video Game [Hell Yes]

<p><img src="http://kotaku.com/assets/images/kotaku/2008/07/hellskitchen.jpg" class="postimg center" style="display:block;"/>The latest season of the hit reality cooking show Hell's Kitchen has just wrapped up, leaving fans hungry for more of Gordon Ramsay's trademark spit and vinegar. Now relief is in sight, as Ubisoft announces Hell's Kitchen: The Video Game, coming this September to the Nintendo Wii and DS. The game offers a three-tiered challenge - preparation, cooking, and service - all watched over by a virtual version of Ramsay himself.<br></p> <blockquote>“I had a great time doing the voice for my own animation,” said Gordon Ramsay. “Being in a video game is a new experience for me and I’m very pleased with the results.”</blockquote> <p>And if he wasn't pleased, no doubt Ubisoft would know it. The game features a Career mode in which players earn stars and unlock authentic Ramsay recipes, some of which are exclusive to the game, along with an arcade mode with an ever-increasing difficulty level.</p> <p>I must have this game. I have to admit I have become addicted to the show, and the prospect of having Chef Gordon tell me to fuck off and leave the kitchen is much more exciting that it should be. It's RAW!</p> <p></p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Ubisoft Serves Up Hell’s Kitchen™: The Video Game</strong><br> <em>Video Game Based on FOX’s Hit TV Show Features Virtual Celebrity Chef Gordon Ramsay</em></p> <p>SAN FRANCISCO&mdash;(BUSINESS WIRE)&mdash;Today Ubisoft announced that it will publish Hell’s Kitchen™: The Video Game, for Wii™, Nintendo DS™, PC and Mac®. Developed by Ludia, Hell’s Kitchen: The Video Game is based on the U.S. hit FOX television program from Granada America featuring world-renowned Chef Gordon Ramsay. The game will allow players to experience the show’s high-pressure kitchen and dining room challenges as a faithfully rendered 3D Chef Ramsay watches their every move.</p> <p>“I had a great time doing the voice for my own animation,” said Gordon Ramsay. “Being in a video game is a new experience for me and I’m very pleased with the results.”</p> <p>After executing the three phases of an order – preparation, cooking and service – Chef Gordon Ramsay will score each meal. As they progress through the game, players will be rewarded with access to recipes from Chef Ramsay’s own repertoire.</p> <p>“Hell’s Kitchen has everything a great video game needs: pressure, excitement and intense competition,” said Tony Key, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Ubisoft North America. “We are very excited to be bringing the intensity of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay and the Hell’s Kitchen experience to the virtual world this fall.”</p> <p>Hell’s Kitchen: The Video Game will be released worldwide September 2008.</p> <p>Key Features:</p> <p>Chef Ramsay watches players’ every move and judges them as they progress by yelling at them, praising them or shutting down the kitchen if their skills don’t meet his expectations.</p> <p>As players progress, they’ll gain access to authentic Gordon Ramsay recipes, including many that are offered exclusively to game owners.</p> <p>In Career Mode, players can earn stars to build their way up from a Single-Star restaurant to a prestigious Five-Star establishment. As the player advances through the ranks, their star rating advances and the recipes become more varied and intricate.</p> <p>In Arcade Mode, the pressure builds as customers become increasingly demanding. Players will be challenged to keep up with the pressure before time is up, or Chef Ramsay loses patience and closes the kitchen.</p> </blockquote> <br style="clear:both;"/> <img alt="" style="border:0;height:1px;width:1px;" border="0" src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?i=e21b1c309692aac0255260074b35b7bc" height="1" width="1"/>
