This review is from: Diner Dash: Flo on the Go (Video Game)

I am super sad over this game. I played the original and absolutely loved it. I couldn't wait for the release date on this one.

Everything seems very small and as the levels prgress and get harder, it gets increasingly frustrating to fulfill the tasks because everything is hard to see. It almost turns into a guessing game as to where to click to fulfill the tasks (mind you I do not have eyesight issues).

My next complaint is the graphics are poor. I would have expected better, bolder graphics given it is the second version and made for the DS. As a matter of fact, I think the graphics are worse than the first. The graphics are like an old Nintendo game, maybe even worse.

All said and done, I would not have wasted my money on it if I would have tried it first. Where usually I would be consumed by this kind of game over everything else in my life, I will probably just finish it out on blizzard and terrential rain days:(

I thought Diner Dash was fun but this game is so tiny you can't even see what the customers are asking for. My 9 year old nephew couldn't even see what customers were asking for. Played 3 levels and then traded the game in to Game Stop. Waste of time and money. DO NOT buy this game.

4.0 out of 5 stars Should have called it Flo WHERE'D You Go..., November 1, 2009

This review is from: Diner Dash: Flo on the Go (Video Game)

Take a good look at the screen shots before you buy. Did you notice that, unlike the first Diner Dash for the DS, you can now see the dining room AND the line of waiting customers without having to scroll over? Some people will be glad about this, but I am not one of them. First, I didn't mind having to do that with the first one, and second they had to make everything much smaller in order to fit it all on the screen. I'm not exactly old and I have good eyesight. I find this new perspective off-putting. Flo is so small I sometimes lose her. It is hard to see the colors in the chairs to match customers. When chaining, particularly when cleaning tables, it is hard to see the check marks that let me know that I have put that table in Flo's "to do" list. I will think that I have done it only to find a dirty table when I try to drag customers to it. The upgrades are unsatisfying. Every few levels you can pick an upgrade or you unlock some new clothing. I could care less about dressing Flo. You can't even tell what she's wearing on game screen because she's too small. And the upgrades to the restaurant are just choosing between a new counter, OR new tables, OR wall decorations, etc. I am emphasizing the "OR" because you don't get to choose between counters styles, or tables styles like usual. You can choose one or the other. And you will eventually get all of them anyway as far as I can tell so there's not much incentive there. Overall the game is more forgiving, at least in the first 15 levels or so, because you can lose tables and still score way beyond expert score. I hate to lose tables, but the alternative is to give up chaining, and ultimately chaining is worth more than a couple of tables. I hate to admit it, but I am disappointed. Don't get me wrong, I am not sorry I bought it. I will play it until I have an expert score on every level (which at this point does not seem like it's going to be very hard) but I don't know how quick I will be to play it again. This may not sound like a big deal but given that I have happily played the first one through 10 times over it makes me kind of sad.
