Fun - but difficult

Game arrived in good time - and in good condition. It is much fun to play - but difficult to progress in the levels. That is part of the fun as well - to keep playing and trying.

Diner Dash 2...Just ok.

Since it took a few months for me to 'master' the orginal Diner Dash, I was hoping this one would be as/more challeging, but it wasn't. Although the new characters are cute...annoying cell-phone addicts, impatient joggers, families with crying babies, bookworms....the game itself wasn't anymore interesting to me than the original. I was a bit disappointed it took only 2 days to master this one.

Good for young kids

This game is based on the tasks a waitress/busboy has to master in order to get tips. There is a secondary plot about keeping a tycoon from taking over the restuarant but you deal with that by doing a good job waitressing. There isn't a great deal of strategy involved beyond keeping the customers satisfied and they are color coded or otherwise easily identified to help you remember how they need to be treated.

The main challenge is to move your character from a one place to another quickly. You must also keep in mind that certain people will not be happy if they sit too close together, wait too long to be seated and fed, or have to deal with noise. Noise usually comes in the form of a crying baby that needs to have a kiddy seat brought over or is just plain hungry! You quickly learn to organize your movements by combining nearby tasks. The game is cute, encourages hand-eye coordination and contain no violence.

The reason I only gave it three stars is because once you memorize the above tasks, the game is mostly about speed. It is a lot like Tetris in that it goes faster and faster, but much more tiring to the hand and wrist. I played on a laptop and my hand began to cramp after zipping through a few game levels. Having mastered the mental challenge there wasn't enough game complexity to keep me hooked to the end, but I had no trouble racking up points.

Diner Dash 2 is more exciting and adventurous than the original. If you're a fan of the original, you will probably like this one as well. It starts out as a big company trying to take over 4 restaurants and they all have one thing in common. They are friends with Flo. She helps them gain money for their restaurant to get upgrades. There is an upgrade after you complete every level and if you get the expert score on that level, you unlock a special upgrade.

The restaurants are an outside cafe, a pizza place, a Mexican restaurant, and a Suishi restaurant. Then, there is a surprise restaurant in the end.

This game introduces new concepts that the first didn't. There is the introduction of serving appetizers and deserts. There are also new types of people including families which you have to give high chairs too and they might make messes so you have to use a mop. The other types of people are business woman, senior citizens, bookworms, and cell phone addicts. There are also plenty of new upgrades including a podium to keep waiting customers happy and a bar to sit people at.

This game is filled with new adventures and new people. If you like the first one, you will definetly like this one because it is more challenging and it has a change of scenery after every 10 levels.

fun, addicting, frustrating

This game is a blast. The only problem is that it gets very difficult. Playing the same level 100 times gets frustrating.

Okay game

Diner Dash 2 is pretty good although Diner Dash 3 (Flo on the Go) is a lot more fun. Either buy Diner Dash 1 or 3, 2 isn't worth it compared to the other two versions.

Not as fun as Diner Dash 1

The graphics and scene changes were very nice. The problem is that each restaurant level is like a do-over rather than a progression in difficulty.
It is still a fun game if you liked Diner Dash 1.
Now I am curious about Flo On The Go.

Great Family game

This game is surprisingly addictive and fun. Everyone in the family enjoys playing this game from my wife, who is much better than me, down to my 7 and 5 year old daughters. It does get tough, but somehow losing doesn't feel all that bad.

Really fun!

I really like this game. It is better than the first one, Diner Dash. I tried Diner Dash: Flo On The Go, and love that one the same as this one! Both are fun and challenging! I spend COUNTLESS hours some nights into the wee morning to try and get past a certain level!

I recommend this game to anyone who wants a challenge. Other games recommended: Diner Dash: Flo On The Go, Cake Mania, Burger Island, and Turbo Pizza. ALL GREAT GAMES! :)

Yay for Diner Dash!

It is really a fun and clever game. To learn the game is very simple--to master it is a different story. But you won't be able to stop and become very addicted until you finish the game!
