I really liked this game. It is rare that I am interested in the storyline but this one was really good. A lot of gameplay, the graphics were nice, the mini games fun, HOS interactive, music the same but not bad. The very last mini game was really great, took me a few minutes to even figure out what I was supposed to be doing but when I did it was a lot of fun. All in all this was a really good game. This was the second of the Dana Knightstone games I've played so I'm actually going to go back and look at others.
I recommend this game!

Unfortunately I didn't try this game before buying and I'm paying the piper! The graphics are okay, nothing special, HOS and mini games are VERY easy. The storyline is okay but nothing unique. I do not like having the "helper" and having to put the outfits on her before she can help, I think this part is just plain silly. To me, definitely not CE worthy but I bought it on one of the specials so I will bite the bullet and play it through.
I don't recommend this game.

As of right now there are no reviews so I am curious to see what other reviews will say. I didn't like this game, I thought the visuals were horrible, the music very annoying and I didn't see the potential for fun playing it. You pick fruits from a wheel type thing to make smoothies, some people want appetizers with their smoothies so you pick up the smoothie after it is made then pick up the plate with the appetizer on it and deliver it to your customer. The graphics seem very old school, the music is just the same thing playing over and over. Not even work a "freebie" coupon for me.
I don't recommend this game.

I always had to buy these games from another site, so I'm so happy BF now has them! As with the others, this game is awesome. Has some new turns to it, you are not only upgrading your restaurants but helping Patrick and Emily bring their fixer upper up to code. Some of the challenges are a little hard to meet, the one where you have to serve 10 customers in a minute is VERY challenging but I finally did it. I had to let some customers build up at the beginning then start serving all of them. Once again, A GREAT GAME!!!!
I recommend this game!

This game is a lot of fun. It's fairly fast and challenging, upgrades are good and can determine how you do on the next level. The storyline is fun and I like that you get to hire people to help as you go along. There is a level I cannot get expert on no matter what so I keep going back and replaying but have not mastered it yet!!! Would love a Kitchen Brigade 2!! Great game!

I really like the Nevertales games so far. This one was as good as the first in my opinion. The graphics as always were good, I liked the music (I thought it was a pretty), the challenge on the mini games was maybe intermediate and HOS scenes were good and fun variations depending on the scene. The storyline was pretty good, voiceovers and cut scenes okay. I usually don't make it through the bonus chapter because by the time I get to the end I'm tired of the game but on this one I played the bonus chapter and all of the extra games including the casino which was pretty cool. A good CE for me!

I reviewed this the first day it came out but for some reason my review didn't go through so had to come and redo because I love this game so much. I own all Delicious games and consider them the best in Time Management (of course closely followed by Dinner Dashes). This game is just as great as the others, there are several different restaurants, this time you actually pick your menus based on what type of customers to expect that day, keep Paige away from customers that don't want to be bothered and of course find the mouse! The graphics of all of these games are wonderful, brightly colorful and clear, music is suited to the restaurants, storyline is cute, upgrades are fun and Paige is adorable. Love love love these games.

I wrote a previous review on this game but didn't find it published. Originally when I played the demo I kept having problems with the game crashing but after it was out for a while I bought it. I am still having problems with it, can't get to the menu to exit the game etc. This is one I wish I hadn't bought as it has gotten boring quickly. I've tried to get through it since I did pay CE price but I think the beginning of the game was a lot more interesting than the middle and end. I'm going to let the mystery of my lost uncle just remain a mystery and not finish as I'm bored bored bored.
I don't recommend this game.

I loved the Nutcracker game last year and this one is awesome as well. The graphics are very pretty and festive, you can customize your mode of gameplay (I love this option), mini games are unique and fun and the storyline is good. I haven't finished the game because of lack of time to play but I have loved the minutes I have played and find this game to be excellent!!!

Mystery Case Files is one of my very favorite games, I have all of them. I played 9 minutes of the demo and bought the game. The cut scenes, graphics, voiceovers are all excellent. This particular game has 5 play modes with challenging choices of play. One of my favorite things on this one is you choose whether you are male or female - AWESOME because I'm female and I like my character to represent me so I'm more into the game. I haven't played to the end but for me this is an excellent game.
I recommend this game!
