This is a very simple game that can be very fun if you ignore the kinda odd graphics (which are good but..odd) and the awful styles you need to put together to complete some challenges.
I personally found it a complete joy to put clothes together for someone else because I am a complete girl, and I can see this appealing to a lot girls just like me.
The lovely thing about this game is that each level gets progressively harder and the storyline gets more interesting. It doesn't stop from level 1 and although slow at the start (sitting at the screen waiting for someone to finish their drinks) it does get to the point where you don't stop moving the whole level.
Once you work out that you can have as many bottles on the bar as you can make then the tables and bar work gets much easier in higher levels. All you need to focus on then is getting everyone as quickly as possible to let new customers come in!
If you a TM game that will keep you playing for hours on end then this it. There isn't many games on this site that you will as many hours of game play as this one!
On top of the amount of time you get, it is a very fun game.
Unlike most traditional TM games, this doesn't work in levels but instead in shops. You do go through each day and with each day comes more people and new challenges (but not in the terms of goals) but your goal is to make enough profit to buy the next shop up and when you get that far, you start over (or in my case sell everything from your old shop and start with a little advantage)!
It takes absolutely ages to finally get to the end and once there, there is plenty of change for replay as you just need to go back into each shop and play more. I found that between reaching the top shop and 'defeating' the game then gaining enough profit to outfit all the shops into the higher they can go, it took me months of near daily play - it is that good!
One quite harsh thing, much like Supermarket Mania, is that for the first level you have the 'best of the best' therefore it does seem a little slow to start because in the first level you where used to the best/fastest.

I found that this game started way too slow for my liking and it took me all the way until the end of the demo to really get hooked enough to spend the money on the full game.
The game itself has really good graphics and some added fun extras like getting to dress your character. I really like the game play, very smooth and the characters were interesting.
It was challenging enough to get gold in some levels and I did have to replay a few to achieve expert but it could of been a lot harder.
I recommend this game!

Create and restore gardens and help magical flowers bloom and grow. You may even discover how a fairy wish ultimately unfolds!
This game is old and you can tell from the graphics alone with are below par for games coming out today.
The premise of the game is to look after several gardens where you must fight against bugs and weeds. It seems easy enough in theory but once you get into the higher levels, you can have a full garden one moment and be wiped out completely by bugs within seconds. Some of the higher levels depend on true skill and multitasking while others rely on the knowledge of how the game works so there is a equal amount of challenge in each level and it always is a little different.
What first caught my eye about this game though was the love story behind it which will totally steal heart and want to play on just to see how it ends!
Takes some time to complete as there is a lot of levels and each level takes a little longer than average for TM games. I really enjoy this game and it also has a lot replay value as once you finish, the older levels seem 'brand new' again!
I absolutely love this type of game and even though a lot of other people had only motivation to finish the house, I just loved doing each level. I thought it was long enough to be worth the money and I also really loved the new aspects added to each level.
Overall it was a very interesting game, with good enough graphics for what it was meant to be with smooth game play and very, very fun!

I think this game can either be very easy or very challenging. It's a game where you can pick a different route every single time and never do the same 'type' of game twice which gives it loads of potential to replay over and over again while following a different adventure every time.
I have tried it a few times and as time goes on you do get much quicker at completing it, due to familiarity but it does get harder if you wish to really do well at the game. I find getting the 'best' outcome nearly impossible but I reckon it will just take a lot of practice. This isn't a game to be 'won' without one try.
I recommend this game!

This exhilarating arcade game challenges you to feed a host of hungry patrons before they leave in a huff!
This game has a really simple basis in which you build sandwiches and in the first few levels, it takes no more than just clicking the right things with no brain power involved. The good thing about this game though is that as it goes on, you have to do it in a correct sequence or you are pretty much stuck because you can't get at it a certain ingredient for your sandwich. The idea is simple but it really does work and it provides hours of fun.
I hate mini-games as a rule, which I keep getting the feeling is pretty rare on BFG, but the ones in this game just take the prize for being the worst mini-games in history, and the best thing about it is that you need to replay them a few times to get more mud for your massages so you can't even avoid them after the one time you are FORCED to play them.
This sequel suffers from the exact same vital flaw that the original suffers from (and as one other reviewer mentioned)!!
I absolutely love the whole game play, and I do think the graphics are great but as part of your spa regime you can have a massage which requires several different 'muds' or something of the like and in both the original and this game there is an absolutely AWFUL mini-game to make those muds. The best thing about is that without those muds you don't do as well so you are forced to play the mini-game. There is also a really awful mini-game to gain incense too.
If it wasn't for those unnecessary mini-games this game would be perfect.
