The longer customers have to wait for anything (whether it's being seated, receiving their meal, receiving their bill, etc.), the less happy they become, as indicated by a heart graphic that slowly depletes as time goes by. Customers keep coming and coming, and each customer is usually in a different stage of their meal than all of the others, so keeping track of where to go and in what order becomes a gargantuan task. Simple enough when you're dealing with a single customer, but unfortunately, you never are. Customers come in and you have to seat them, take their order, bring their order to the food counter, grab their food when it's prepared, take it to the table, hand them their bill when they're finished, and take their dirty dishes to the bus tray. Pretty lame vacation if you ask me!Īs in previous Diner Dash games, the gameplay area consists of a dining room with tables of various sizes, a counter where the food is cooked, and a bus tray. But when they lose their luggage in the opening scene, they are forced to work in the ship's restaurant to earn some cash to get their wardrobes back together.
In this installment, the main character, Flo, and her friend Darla are heading on a cruise for a much-needed vacation. Actually, "restaurant simulation" might be putting it too strongly - there's no managing income or opening new locations in this game instead, the game focuses on the fast-paced world of waitressing. That's not necessarily because Diner Dash is no fun, but I just know that in real life, I could never handle the sheer amount of anger I seem to inspire in the game's customers.įor those who don't know, Diner Dash is a frantic restaurant simulation franchise that first appeared as a lightweight downloadable computer game, and has since been ported in various forms to the Nintendo DS, the iPhone, Xbox Live Arcade and a variety of other platforms. If there's one thing Diner Dash has taught me, it's that I never want to work in a restaurant for as long as I live.
