Though devoid of fun, I'd like to say that the gameplay was challenging in the sense that it does offer a sense of accomplishment; quickly analyzing the dishes and prioritizing the cooking order feels like some kind of nerdy challenge. However, the sheer, mind-boggling repetitiveness of the game nullifies that; the only thing Hell's Kitchen teaches you to do is click on a mouse quickly. In fact, the mouse clicking is so repetitive and rapid it actually started to hurt; jolts of pain raced up my fingers and arm. So you've been warned: the only real recipe in Hell's Kitchen is the one for carpal tunnel syndrome.
