Here are some customer reviews of Restaurant Empire : It looks like it was made for an older people, however older people usualy don't play these kinds of games. I think it should be designed for teens or kids because those are the people who will buy this game. I got this game for my birthday and it was really fun. It lasted hurs and I got to be a cook, but after a while, the 3D started giving me a headache. It is also sometimes hard to remember all of the keys and buttons. I can't emphasize enough how much sheer FUN this game is. Yes, the graphics aren't the greatest and the storyline is a bit clunky. I am disappointed by the almost total lack of female chefs (kind of unrealistic in this day and age). The objects you place in your restaurant are limited and difficult to maneuver, and you can't shape and control your characters like you can in The Sims. But the game is a lot less expensive and a lot more FUN than anything else I've played in years. I don't have a particular interest in restaurants, and I don't play tons of sim games, but this one has plenty of elements to keep any gamer interested. It's fast moving, not terribly difficult, with lots of things to watch (your cooks cooking, diners dining, etc.) and lots of ways to tinker with your restaurants to improve them. Before you play, install the patch and make sure to turn off all other programs, including your firewall if you have one. After I did this, no more crashes. Very stable game. This is a great game; get it. I think that this game isn't too bad. The graphics aren't too good, but that never really bugged me much. But I'm not even 13 yet, so it would make sense to say that I'm just not as interested in food as older people. My advice is to buy this if you like culinary arts. Being a long ago fan of Enlight's Capitalism Plus from several years back and of Iron Chef, it didn't take much for this game to get my attention. Thankfully, it met the potential the concept and the company suggested. Restaurant Empire starts you out with a single restaurant and gives you the chance to create a business empire from there. Overall, it's a business sim, but you get to focus on more than the core of the business sim -- prices, costs and profits. You are in charge of laying out your restaurants, something that affects the performance of your restaurant greatly. You also need to watch your restaurant(s) and keep and eye for where problems are appearing. RE strikes a good balance in that at the beginning of the game there's a lot of micromanagement but that lessens as you get more to do. This works well as rarely do you have too little or too much to do. The story mode includes easy to follow (too easy at times)turtorials that progress slowly, making learning the game a snap. Restaurant Empire is another strong business sim from Enlight.
