Liked the organic food angle, but not much fun...

Overall this year I was amazed to discover I enjoyed TM a/k/a Time Management games, especially the dash series... if this game had the quality, humor and genuine fun of the 'other' games that this one sort of copied, it would have been great.
As it stands, this game to me was just too monotonous and a bit too shallow.
That's unfortunate that it fell short because I thought it was a great concept to incorporate organic, healthy food into the gameplay, but this one just doesn't evolve into anything outstanding and is rather boring repetition of other games like it but not as much fun IMO.
I recommend this game!

Oh my... I don't know what was in the game's recipe, but the game recipe itself is a disaster, lol. Sooo bad.
I don't recommend this game.

Dreadful in every way. I wouldn't poison my eyes with this game let alone purchase it and let it get through to the rest of my being. YUCK>yuck yuck, truly disgraceful. Did I mention bleck, horrid, distasteful, no redeeming value whatsoever? I do purchase/play some "scary" games, and have even played some pretty disturbing ones in the past; yet would never purchase or play this or any game like it, just awful and down right evil-ish, I couldn't even finish the demo before I felt as though I had to wash up and go out into the sunshine even from the little time I played it. Gads, what levels will they stoop to lure people in for so-called "entertainment!?" #which this truly isn't IMO#... Eck.
I recommend this game!

At last, a 'different' storyline ~ thumbs up, it's a 'buy'... glad to see imaginations at work and hope they continue to go in 'better' directions.
The graphics were a bit muddled, yet they did coincide with the theme, art nouveau/deco-ish 1920's and I loved the cutscenes and incorporation of live filmclips into the game.
I especially enjoyed being given the achievement award of "supreme intellect", so of course I'll rate it highly, lol.
Seriously, enjoyed playing and I would strongly recommend checking this game out!

Great game ~~ The graphics are super; music appealing and pleasant, and the native American themed storyline good in this well-done light adventure game.
If you are a fan of the popular 'girl' mystery/detective games ['It's up to you' to know who I am referring to], you will most probably enjoy this game also, since it has some of the same quality gaming aspects and yet also offers better quality graphics and great sound/music.
Though puzzles are not difficult and the game not too long or too short, I would definitely recommend this to any/all age groups and skill levels, even advanced, [as a relaxing or fill in game]. It is a fun and worthwhile game that should not be overlooked.
Give a whirl; to me it was a nice, welcomed change of pace.
I recommend this game!

SO enjoyed the settings and lovely, wonderful, relaxing music in this game ~ they were top notch!!
As for the storyline, diversity of solitaire games offered, ehh... not so much.
A more romantic based theme or at least a plot/story with some substance and believability would have been more appealing and appropriate overall IMO.
I'm bumping it up a bit from the low ratings by adding a star or so... I believe it deserves more than others are giving it.
Definitely try it out for yourself. :)
I recommend this game!

After reading all the good reviews, I was disappointed. The game is v e r y, v e r y, v e r y S L O W moving and boring.
The music, the graphics, the minute, faded H0G scenes, eck.
A game with the cool cutscenes could surely be made better use of; sadly I won't even be able to finish the trial because it is just to bleak for me.
Yawn.
I recommend this game!

I had never played TM games until joining BFG almost a year ago (had always been a hard-core adventure game addict) and I now am so glad to have ventured into giving TM games a try. I've played every level of the Dash games and now Youda Souchi Chef...
Youda Soushi Chef is a very fun game, excellent for honing in on those hand/eye/mind coordination factors we all get a little challenged with throughout life at various times, especially eh-hem, middle age+?
I found this game to be fun with excellent replay value and it also helped me remember the name of some of the Japanese names and definitions for various components of and dishes of sushi!!
Definitely recommend this game for all ages and skill sets.
Have fun Hiii--- yaa!

This falls way short of the first edition. The first edition of Paradise Beach was absolutely fantastic... I couldn't stop playing it and it enthralled me so much I was obsessed with playing it and so happy to see the second edition.
Oh, what happened?!!! The quality, charm and overall great game are GONE. Ack! This, the second version, is completely cheap and tacky with gross neon colors and ugly characters and cartoony unrealistic graphics, the wonderful Paradise 'world' is no more....
Sad.... I hope they come out with a fourth installation with at least the same talent the original team had... graphics designer, et al, and I'll buy it; otherwise, no buy for me!!!
I would not recommend this edition at all. The first one, I would highly recommend.
Disappointment to say the least. :*(
I don't recommend this game.

Fantastic TM game with a twist.... a must-play, even if you never thought you'd enjoy TM (as I didn't). Diner Town Tycoon has tremendous replay value and lures you right into TM gameplay as if you were born playing.
I now love the entire DASH series and, of course, this one is exceptional and unique as well.
Thank you, BFG and devs.... the ending alluded to a sequel and my fingers are crossed to that possiblity. Will be an instant 'buy' for me when/if one is released.
