CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This fast-paced game offers a realistic simulation of what it's like to manage your own restaurant. Diner Dash's animated introduction gives you the background story. You must help a girl named Flo run the day-to-day affairs of her own restaurant to make enough cash for improvements and new equipment, all the while keeping the public happy and full. The game makes you multitask on your feet, as you seat customers, take orders, serve food, collect checks, and bus tables. It's nice that all actions are performed via a mouse click, freeing you to concentrate on customer service over game control. As you progress, the action heats with twists such as more tables, food critcs, and senior citizens. The cartoon-style graphics lend the game a carefree atmosphere, and the energetic music helps keep you on your toes. Diner Dash's feature set certainly isn't enormous, but you can choose to play in windowed mode and adjust the audio volume. Our biggest complaint with this game is its rather limited 60-minute trial period. Whether you're looking to test your speed or simply want to virtually relive your days in the food-service industry, you're likely enjoy Diner Dash.Publisher's description
From PlayFirst :Sick and tired of pushing paper in the dreary, bleary-eyed world of finance, Flo ditched her desk job and now she's rolling up her sleeves and setting out to build her very own empire of high-class, five-star restaurants. It won't be easy, though! To get there she'll have to start on the ground floor--and she needs your help to survive and thrive.
Diner Dash blends the best in fast paced-action puzzles with a build-your-restaurant-empire theme that encourages players to serve their way from a two-table diner to the top of the restaurant ladder.

Version: Diner Dash 1.0
Pros: This is one of the best tycoon games I've ever played. It's very addicting to play. It runs on slow crappy computers(for termless computer people) like mine. Great game, I recommend this download. It's also in a way a bit challenging, but not too hard.
Cons: Nothing of what I've seen.

Pros: Nice little game, with little hang ups. Quite fun to play, even though you don't have much choice in the actual gameplay.
Cons: Too expensive. $19.99 is too much for such a limited game. Gameplay is quite limited.
