I liked this game when I started, however once I failed a level 15 times, I got so frustrated I gave up. You do not have enough time to do things. Once an order is in your line-up, the timer goes off on each, even if you have 6 plates ahead of it. By the time you get to it, especially if it is something that needs to be cooked, you don't have enough time.
Also dishes like pizza are hard. I have done them perfectly and still get lower scores. You have to use enough sauce and its hard to tell how much you are using, especially when you are trying to do it fast. This also goes for salad when you use dressing. Its difficult to use the dressing and you usually have to do one line of dressing several times to get it thick enough to get a good score.
I will say for some reason I did better using my laptop then on a desktop. I got to a further level.
The level I could not get past was the one where the goal is $2250 and sea bass is introduced. I couldn't even get past $1200. (and the best I did was when I only failed on 2 dishes)
Very frustrating. They should at least have bonus time available you can use later if you gain more money than you need on earlier levels.

I don't recommend this game.

In order to be fair, after playing this for the first time, I went back and re-downloaded the first, because I was immediately comparing the two. The first is easier, but I do like the fact that there is a grocery store so you can save money and time by eating at home. I was really mad the second did not have that option. I was surprised that the second didn't have more options for upgrading your living space, and the clothes in the second were horrible, there were much better outfits to choose in the first. I'm still up in the air, as there are things in one that are not in the other. The second is harder, but when I went back and played it a second time, I went through it in a breeze......still a fun game, but could be more detailed and have more options. I'll keep my fingers crossed for number 3!
I recommend this game!
