Well, what can I say about Restraunt Empire? Bored one day, I picked it up after looking at pictures from the game. The pictures were definatly stunning, and the idea was awsome, original, and just sweet. Controls are easy to manuver with nice looking windows to navagate. Once you work through the tutorials on the story line, things are great. I especially love the "cook offs". Finally an Iron Chief type deal!! Great fun!! Two modes of play, Story or Sandbox (sandbox starts you from scratch to make your own restruant) it has potential for hours and hours of enjoyment. If you like Sim games, Please, pick this up, it is WELL worth it. Are your skills good enough to cook?? :)

Best game ever!!!

I think that this game is the best game in the word. You cook your own food build oyur own restaurant, decorate it...the whole 9 yards. You even get to pick the people that work there (chefs, waiters, waitresses...etc.) and you get to ask your customers how they like the food. and you get to talk to the chefs and they talk to you back. You can start from a little restaurant in wyoming to a huge chain of restaurants all over the world!!!

Being a huge fan of the tycoon game genre, I was thrilled when I saw a game that wasn't another theme park sim! The concept behind Restaurant Empire is somewhat original but I'm inclined to throw this one into the category of low-budget software titles just the same.

The graphics aren't as sharp as Roller Coaster Tycoon, Zoo Tycoon, or The Sims but I can't say that I haven't seen worse. It was a facet of the game that I could overlook if only the rest of the game made up for it.

When you get down to it, the game replay value just isn't there for me. While the first few scenarios were interesting, after a couple of hours, it just got pretty boring. Here I thought I would be in control of so much more than what I actually got from the game and whether or not you play with scenarios or in sandbox mode, it all looks the same after a while.

Listen up!

Restaurant Empire is the best sim RPG game I have played in my life.
This game has a pretty good graphic system but the music is borring. I would recomend it to other sim game fans. The game its self has a few down siders for example the menu that you have to have takes so much time to do if there were an AUTO-MENU button it would be great. The other down sider is that people are always complaining about how your staff is rude! I haven't been able to fix this because it's impossible to fix even if I hire the best staff & still send them to training the customers keep complaining. Overall it deserves a 4.7/5.0 on amazon but I had to round it to 5

I like it....

I have really enjoyed this game. I agree with some of the other reviews that it is a little too easy but it is definitely worth playing. If you like building business kind of games this is one you'll really like.

Fun Game -- Not too Complicated and Not too Easy

I recently received this game and am happy to report that it was easy to install and is not very buggy. The last game I received (Casino Inc.) had lots of bugs, which just ruins the game playing experience.

In Restaurant Empire you are given goals related to owning and operating a restaurant. The first few goals are relatively easy to meet, then they become more difficult. The Help system is WONDERFUL. I highly recommend that you take the tour. It helps a lot.

The game is fun and entertaining. It's not too hard to figure out how to get things done, but it's not so easy that it bores you quickly. I have not beaten the game yet -- which is a good sign that I'll get plenty more playing time out of the game.

Highly recommended.

Restaurant Empire.... Play it now....Store it later....

This game, Restaurant Empire is a really great game like most games when you purchase them for the first time. They are exciting and fun for the first few weeks, then end up on the shelf for future playability when you absolutely have nothing to do. If you like simulation games like "The Sims" for example, then you should buy this game. If you liked the Sims (past tense)when it first came out years ago but have now advanced beyond the continuous "upgrades" and expansion packs, then you better wait for Restaurant Empire 2.

FUN, FUN, FUN!!!!!

ever since i first saw this game on shop shelves, i knew right away that i wanted it. trust me, this game is really fun! i mean of course, i didnt have everything i expected but i still love it. it wasnt very hard to download ( and i have a very SLOW computer) so that was good. when i got it, i was like up till midnight playing it!! i started playing it everyday and i never got tired of it.
So here's the just of it. u can do a sanbox game or challenge mode. sandbox lets u pretty much to anything u want. u have a choice of 3 or 4 cuisenes( i forgot if it was 3 or 4), American, Italian, and French. u have a decent amount a cities to build ur resturants in. i mean, its very realistic. the costumers love and hate ur food. they ask u for the recepi (& pay u) or give u a better one for a price. u also get to choose the buildings, designs, furniture, and location. the graphics are pretty good and the sound is ok.
in my opinion, this is one of the best tycoon games i've played and trust me, i have a HUGE COLLECTION of tycoon games so i no wat im sayin. but after a while, i stopped playing it cuz everytime i get a new tycoon-type game, i usually get bored of it after a while (but thats me). anyways, the is a MUST HAVE game. enjoy!
