This was actually a pretty good game, but as soon as the challenge level started getting really good it ended. Ultimately, it might be worth the purchase just to have a different type of game, but it is short.
I recommend this game!

This is a hybrid time management/strategy game. I like it much better than the regular time management games because you can be more creative and have to be more strategic about achieving the goals (instead of just being fast).
I recommend this game!

Once you've hired and trained all your staff it's pretty minimal involvement on your part and there's not much strategy involved either. I quite playing after getting four stars because I was just clicking the phone and the musicians and otherwise just sitting there.
I don't recommend this game.

After trying the trial I decided to purchase the game because it seemed fun and I had really liked Diner Town Tycoon. However, I didn't even play through to the end because the puzzles became more tedious and repetitive than requiring any actual thought. I regret buying it.
I don't recommend this game.

I am always sifting through the TM & strategy games to find management/sim or tycoon games and this one fit the bill. You can set prices, hire and fire staff, etc. If you want to move fast or go deep into a story then it may not be for you. If you want to do a lot of planning and management then you'll probably like it.
I recommend this game!

Super fun game that appeals to my interest in planning, strategy, and being able to fulfill goals while "making it my own." My only complaint is that it's a short game, as was Bistro Boulevard. I also liked the Dream Builder Amusement Park game from the same company so I hope to see more of these less time and more strategy-based management games.
I recommend this game!

I like this game a lot - although not quite as much as Artist Colony, which I loved! That said, I am playing it for the third time now. I like the strategy aspects and in each replay I've tried hiring different people to see how the flow of the game changes. The number one thing I would change is having to go through the tutorial every time I start a new game.
I recommend this game!

If you like to play fetch it's a good game, but there was a lack of real dialogue or opportunities to use strategy. Also, this is minor, but the frequency of editing errors made it seem unpolished.
I don't recommend this game.

In spite of trying all of the options listed under the BFG Game Crashing page this game continued to crash at random times during play. Each time I tried to replay the game I had to start all over. It was very frustrating to spend time building up a character to have it fall apart before too long.
Furthermore, there was little actual challenge in achieving any of the goals.
I don't recommend this game.

Whenever this would come up I thought it looked cheesy, but it's actually one of the best games I've played in a long time. It's very funny and involves all the strategy decisions that make tycoon/empire games so fun.
I recommend this game!
