Review of Cooking Dash

Post to Twitter

The PC game Cooking Dash has Flo on the go again. This game is the latest edition to the Diner Dash series. It’s available through Reflective arcade, or RealArcade for only $19.99, or you can play the limited demo version for free. It just came out October 15, 2008.

Cooking Dash starts as the usual Diner Dash games, with its introduction to the game and a brief tutorial. Then you are on your own with upgrading the things in the shop, or your speed.

You have several shops to complete with each having its own new customer to put up with. I would recommend if you haven’t played any of Flo’s Diner Dash games before playing Cooking Dash, that you play those first. The previous games help you adjust to how each customer is going to behave and how the other customers are going to react to sitting next to a guy on a cell phone for example.

As Flo in the new Cooking Dash, you must not only take orders, and clear the tables, but you must make their food too. As if Flo doesn’t have enough to do!

Tips I can offer on this game are: Create the orange drink at the start of each game, as well as the frozen yogurt. Each time you feed one of those to your customers make another so it’s waiting for you to serve. This will save you a lot of time waiting for it to be made. Also upgrade grandma and Flo’s speed first thing. Don’t waste money on upgrading the shop when those things aren’t needed nor offer you any help. The more you save the more you will have later to use.

The things I like about the game are: It loads a lot smoother then the previous games. The new smoothness makes it so if you are running a lot of other programs in the background there aren’t the jumpiness that took place with the mouse in the previous editions. So you will not accidentally click on something you didn’t mean to.

The things I don’t like about this game are: how many clicks it takes for you to quit the game. You must click “Main menu” then “yes” then “quit”, less you aren’t using full screen mode. Often times I need to quit games quickly, and having to go through a series of clicks is a big downfall to any game.

There is no place Flo can set food you previously cooked in preparation for new customers. You must throw the food away.

All and all I like this game a lot its not as hard as Diner Dash 4 Hometown Hero, well worth paying for. 5 out of 5 stars.
