I'm not really a fan of "managing" stores since I mostly played games which required me to serve customers directly, so I didn't know what I was thinking when I got this game. To my surprise, it turned out to be really fun.
True, all I did was buy stuff, plan menus and seat customers, but it was cool; I'm still very involved in running the restaurant. The part where you have to guess the ingredients was a bit frustrating, but it feels great when you get it all right! I loved how I got to design the restaurants and how different cultures were featured.
The only criticism I have is that the game is too short, and once you've got the hang of it, it isn't very challenging. There are also very few furniture, but believe me, once I started playing this, I cannot stop until I've gotten all thirty stars.
This is actually the first game about photography that I've come across and I was expecting something a bit more exciting. I have only gotten to level 2 before deciding that I didn't want to play the game anymore.
The lack of sound variations really bothered me and I found the process in the game very confusing.
I can't say anything about the level of challenge since I haven't finished the whole game, but I was just so disappointed with the whole thing I felt the need to type a review.
I like the concept of taking pictures, that's new, but everything from the graphics to the sounds improvement.
