Diner Dash
April 04, 2011 Filed in: Video Games
Two weekends ago, I installed The Sims 2 and played it for several hours. Yesterday, I wanted to play something but I wasn’t in the mood for more Sims. Instead, I decided to get as far as I could in Diner Dash, a classic “casual” game from 2003. The star of Diner Dash is Flo, an enterprising restauranteur who is also an energetic waitress. After every ten trials (levels), Flo opens a new restaurant. Her second restaurant is Flo’s Tiki Palace, followed by Go with the Flow Seafood Dining, and finally Chez Flo.
I completed all 40 levels and thought the game was going to end there. Surprisingly, a Shiva goddess transformed Flo into a four-armed goddess and presented her with an additional ten trials in her Indian Restaurant. Although a couple of the levels were challenging, I was quite proficient near the end of the game. It didn’t take me too long to finish it.
Like Peggle, I thought Diner Dash was a great example of a casual game that can be just as addicting as a big budget title.
