Customer Reviews

Doesn't live up to the Flash version
I've been playing this Flash version on my PC, and was excited about getting it for my DS. The game play is generally the same as the PC version, with the ever increasing difficulty. Some slight changes, like families, choosing your decor, mopping and customers with reservations...(there are probably others, but I haven't gotten that far yet).

Additionally, for me, there are just some games that don't translate to the "small screen". This is one of those game. Tables seem very close together, you have to use the left arrow on the screen to see the customer waiting line.

Overall, I'm glad I bought it as I really like the concept and the "stress" of keeping customers happy.

Crazily Addictive
The game is simple in concept, but it is crazy how addictive it is.

You seat people, take their order, bring them their food, bring them the bill , then clear their table...seems simple enough, until you realize you have to serve multiple tables at once. Doing the same thing at different tables gives you extra chain points. The game gets progressively more challenging, introducing more tables as you go, and also different types of customers. Your reward is to see your run down restaurant get rennovated piece by piece. Definitely a travel friendly game.

Do a Google search if you wish to play a limited demo of the game.

Not worth the admission price
Diner Dash first achieved notoriety as a flash game, and now it's hit the DS as well. Taking everything that made it enjoyable before, Diner Dash starts out as a blast, but the overall repetitiveness and simplicity are what hurt Diner Dash the most in the long run. Playing as Flo, Diner Dash offers some challenging gameplay as you attempt to run your frequently busy restaurant. However, the game doesn't look quite right squeezed down to the DS' small screen, not to mention offering some slight frame rate issues as well. Not to mention that once you do get through the entire game (and you will) there isn't any reason to go back again. What really saves the DS version of Diner Dash from the scrap heap though are the inventive touch screen and stylus controls that have been implemented, as well as the overly fun and addictive multiplayer options. The good mostly outweighs the bad with Diner Dash, but the worst factor is undoubtedly the fact that you can find this game for the PC for much cheaper than the asking price here. Still though, if you desire Diner Dash on the go, you'll be pretty well satisfied, for a while anyway that is.
