Now we have all wondered when Diner Dash would go all Marty Mcfly, game review, on us! With the amount of high quality games Diner Dash have been producing, it was only a matter of time (get it!) before we would be serving medieval, game review, grub to kings and queens!
So if you ever thought, game review, that the cave men and women must have been sooo bored, because they had nowhere to hang out, well you were wrong! So how exactly does a waitress discover time travel? Well it is that pestering grandmother again, fiddling around with the microwave.
However, it has been broken in the process, and you need to earn some money, to repair it. So the story is slightly floored, but we do not play game after game of Diner Dash for their story lines, now do we!
For those of you who do not know what your objectives are in the Diner Dash series, well where have you been? You are in control of Flo who is a restaurant owner, and your goal is to serve customers quickly without, game review, them getting impatient and leaving. The further you progress the harder the levels become, the, game review, difficulty, game review, increases with the amount of customers.
To help you along the way you can upgrade your items to improve service level. Each level sets you, game review, two goals,, game review, and you must ascertain the lower goal to progress, anything above this adds to the amount, game review, of money.
To score additional points you should seat customers in their same coloured seats for a bonus, you can also serve customers in order for a combination bonus. Also different types of customers do different things, for example, you will soon realise that the cavemen are exceedingly rowdy and disrupt all people sitting nearby.
To avoid this move them as far away from any other customers as possible, or at least try not to sit them right in the centre, where it is likely they will disrupt everybody.
So apart from the new maps, the development comes with what the maps bring with them. For, game review, example in the pre-historic ages, you will realise a massive dinosaur. If you do not pay him enough attention he will get annoyed, stamp about a bit, causing mayhem at your diner, let's just say, game review, you would rather keep him satisfied, to do this you must visit him every, game review, so often.
Along with this, avid players will also realise the change in equipment as you travel through time. If you are back in the pre-historic times, then you will realise that the all of your utensils are, game review, slightly outdated, but then you are back a couple of million years ago.
To unlock each additional map you must complete the last, as you progress you will also realise that you unlock more clothes. You can change Flo's clothes at any time, including in game. You can either choose her outfit from top to bottom, or randomize, game review, it.
All the new clothes you unlock are in keeping with the new maps.
Flo has been busy,, game review, not only is she constantly at the beck and call of angry punters, but she has now got to worry about getting through time to get back home, but there is one thing for sure, until Flo has served up all the customers she is not going anywhere.

"Diner Dash 5 - Boom!" Game Review
It's been 5 years since the launch of the Diner Dash series, and the developers are celebrating by releasing Diner Dash 5: Boom! This action-packed time management game features the tenacious Flo as she attempts to set up diners in various locations all over town. Help her earn enough money to rebuild and redesign her restaurant, which was blown up by her nemesis Mr. Big!
The story of Diner Dash 5: Boom begins with our hero Flo completing a sign for a fat-free breakfast at her restaurant. In the middle of the night, her nemesis Mr.
Big sabotages, game review, her and erases the word "fat" from her sign, making, game review, people think she is offering a free breakfast! By morning, there is a huge crowd waiting outside Flo's restaurant for their breakfast. And in true cartoon-style, the whole place goes boom from the sheer number of people!
With, game review, her diner now in ruins, Flo must find a way to earn enough money to revive her business. She does so by setting up makeshift diners all over town and using the profits to slowly redesign and rebuild her original restaurant.
Her ventures will take her to weird, game review, and interesting places: from the park, to an alleyway, to, game review, a shopping strip and more!
The gameplay in Diner Dash 5: Boom is a huge improvement over its predecessors. No longer does the game involve merely seating your customers and serving, game review, them. Many new tweaks and mechanics have been added to give it a fresh feel and more challenge. For starters, there is a new produce cart that diners can access for their greens (which will require more micro-management).
There are also new customer types, game review, that interact with people around them, such as the attorneys who argue and take longer to finish, game review, if, game review, you seat them next to other attorneys. There are also clowns that hypnotize other diners around them and making them eat slower (though I personally think the clowns should be able to throw pies at other diners and start a food fight!).
Since Flo is setting up makeshift diners all over town, you will be playing, game review, in different locations with different furnishings and layout.
You will even have to manage diners, game review, who are seated on a balcony or fire escape. So how do you serve meals to the grannies seated on the fire escape? With a trampoline of course! There are also new weather mechanics that add a fair bit of realism to the game. When it starts to rain, you have to scramble to set up umbrellas over all the tables. And when it gets windy, be prepared to hold down the tablecloths to prevent them from being blown away!
The developers for Diner Dash 5: Boom created the perfect story with, game review, Flo having to set up temporary diners in various locations across town.
This created a seamless way of introducing different locations with different layouts to the game, preventing players from becoming bored playing the same setup again and again. Certain chapters in the story also take away some of your upgrades in order to make them more challenging.
Another feature unique to this game, game review, is that you can actually design, game review, the final level of your game! As you progress through the various chapters in Diner Dash 5, you will be able to buy upgrades that make you more efficient or give your customers some benefits.
In addition to that, you will, game review, also, game review, be able to buy, game review, new upgrades and furniture for your original restaurant which you are rebuilding. Controlling, game review, the design of your restaurant means you get to basically design a game level for your own playing pleasure. This also means that, game review, no two games will be alike.
Diner Dash 5: Boom is fortunately, game review, not a simple rehash to milk a great series. It introduces a lot of unique and interesting mechanics to keep the game fresh and appealing.
It is a great package in terms of both its gameplay as well as the artistic values, from story and artwork through to its soundtrack.
The basic edition of the game has not yet been released, but you can currently get the Diner Dash 5: Boom Collector's Edition which includes exclusive bits such as more levels, a strategy guide, concept art, screensavers and more!
Rating: 4.5/5.0
