Restaurant Empire: An Empire of Fun., Feb 02, 2010
by Autumn Peirson (Sarasota, FL USA)
Restaurant Empire is a fantastic computer game where the player takes charge of their own restaurant.You must manage, decorate, plan the menu and keep your customers happy. When I first played restaurant empire, I thought it would be another boring empire game. But I was completely wrong.
The fact that you not only get to run and decorate the restaurant, but plan the menu was a really fantastic addition.
This game reminds me of Hells Kitchen or Kitchen Nightmares(the shows) You have to work your tail off to keep customers happy. This game is not easy, but its not overly challenging either.
Some customers will have suggestions that will help you improve your restaurant, I say you should listen to all suggestions. Just like real restaurants, not all customers are going to like your restaurant 100%, but others will absolutely love it.
Reason why I enjoyed this game:
*You can replay this game over and always have a different outcome: Unlike most games, this game has many different ways to reach goals.Which will keep you playing for hours.
*Sandbox mode: If you don’t want to play career mode, you can play sandbox mode
*You can keep retrying your goals if you don’t get it at first.
*The game is easy to learn how to play, but challenging enough to keep you entertained.
Here’s my rating for each aspect of the game:
Graphics: 5/5 stars: The graphics are awesome, so many decorations to choose from. I can really get creative.
Sound: 4/5 stars: The sound is decent, but it could use a little something. I don’t know what.
Game Play 5/5: What can I say? The game play is fun.
Overall, this game is definitely worth buying and or playing.

This game is intriguing. It supports the ideas of the players. Restaurant Empire gives all the players an exact idea of how being the owner of a restaurant is like. The many features that this game includes are exquisite. The part where you could change the theme of the restaurant is incredibly perfect. The game inspires the many food creations around. It lets you experience a real life career. This game is also full of life and full of tasty recipes that could be made at home! Hopefully you enjoy Restaurant Empire!
