Summary: A Bunch of Glitches....
Comment: My husband gave me this game because I cater and thought I would find it fun. This game has a bunch of glitches. I've played many games in the past, Sims, etc., but this one loses saved games again and again. You can spend forty hours building your restaurant, save it, go back to it, save it again and the game acts as though it never existed. Then, the company's website is not yet up, so I can't even write them! This game is crap. Stay far, far, away!

Summary: Game is okay
Comment: Game is okay, received it in a timely fashion. Got bored with it pretty quickly, though, not a lot of replay value.

Summary: Don't waste your time or money
Comment: I bought this game from Iwin.com. The graphics were good. But it got really boring really fast plus it started freezing. If you have XP it won't work that good.

Summary: A good game, but....
Comment: I really did enjoy playing this game when I had it (my disk broke when *someone* stepped on it), and I definately want to buy it again, but...
There are only two modes of play - a single scenario and sandbox mode. You can only compete in the cooking competitions (irritating mini-games, but still...) in the scenario. In sandbox, you have infinite money, can build restaurants in all 3 cities in the game, and all the recipes are unlocked. Now, I was enjoying the scenario very much, thank you, but occasionally I want to start up the game and actually have to build up a restaurant without being a multi-millionaire and without having to go through the tutorial part of the scenario. I think maybe I've been spoiled by games like Sim City and the like, where there are many scenarios, a separate tutorial, sandbox mode, and free play where you still have to unlock things. But, as I know of no better restaurant simulator, this is the game I will be buying again. Eventually.

Summary: In dept and clever!
Comment: - Very well thought out game. Covers all aspects of running a restaurant, at least as much as a video game possibly could.
- Little bit of micromanagement here and there, but it's relatively easy to pick up as long as you have common sense.
- Again, very clever game. Definitely for people who enjoy a bit of planning and micromanagement, mostly people with strategic minds. Not for those who only enjoy mindless shoot'em up kind of game and pretty graphics. And even though I too enjoy FPS games, I really enjoyed Restaurant Empire and play it almost on daily basis.
- If I was a video game magazine editor I would give it 4 stars out of 5. But with personal preference I give it 5 out of 5.
Overall, one of my all time favorite games.
