Diner
Dash 2 (DD2) is similar to
the first Diner
Dash (DD1), but with a
few new twists. The premise: Mr. Big, landlord to four of Flo’s restauranteur
friends, has just tripled their rent. They can’t afford this, so Flo
volunteers to work at the restaurants in order to earn enough money
to snazz the places up a bit and attract more customers. Players can
choose from a variety of upgrade options.
Several customer types
are carried over from DD1, and some are
new. In DD2, for instance, patrons are disrupted
by ceaselessly chattering cell phone addicts and families with squalling
infants who spill things (just like in a real restaurant!).
As
in DD1, levels become increasingly difficult
necessitating stategic planning. There is also an “Endless Shift”
option. One needn’t have played DD1 to enjoy DD2.
Overall, I found this game
to be a tad easier than DD1 (but still far
from easy). DD2 is a clever, ridiculously
addicting game that’s great fun!
