A PC casual game hit arrives on the Nintendo DS.

Nevertheless, I have and it was ace!

In fact, I think it works even better on the DS, despite the smaller screen.

Its much easier to manage with the stylus and just feels more natural somehow.

Anyway, for those who dont know the series, I shall explain.

InDiner Dash, you play as the character Flo.

Bored and stressed with her job juggling spreadsheets, she decides on a career change.

Im not sure how waitressing would be less stressful, but who are we to question?

In this time management game, you start a level with a bunch of empty tables.

This is essential, as youll have a monetary goal every level which you must achieve to pass.

Of course, its not all plain sailing.

The learning curve is smooth, and more elements are introduced as you play.

One main difference with thisDiner Dashtitle against the PC is the upgrades.

On PC youd be given the choice of upgrades between levels, if you had enough cash.

For example, different floor tiles, doors, counter tops and so on.

As this is a minimal part of gameplay, I didnt miss it.

Overall, I enjoyed experiencingDiner Dashon a different medium.

The DS just made it seem so much more fluid, and as a result, fun.

Diner Dashis out now andavailable from the Den Of Geek Store.
