Customer Reviews:
 Super fun and addicting, an extension of DD2, 2008-11-17
I'm a huge fan of all four of the Diner Dash games and play them frequently. They're perfect for kids and adults of all ages: neutral content, no language or violence issues. You play the main character, Flo, who saves restaurants from failure with her amazing waitressing skills. You serve a variety of customer types by taking their orders, delivering their food, bringing the check, and clearing the table after they leave.
This third version of Diner Dash -- Flo on the Go (FOTG) -- continues the fun with the same core format. Kids may particularly enjoy the updates in this version, as the most notable change from Diner Dash 2 is that you can now change Flo's outfits.
The graphics and functionality in FOTG are identical to those in Diner Dash 2 (DD2). There was such a huge improvement in graphics quality between DD1 and DD2 that I was expecting to be blown away by this third version; but instead, the creators simply borrowed the graphics from DD2 and added some new environments and features.
The first new feature is "Flo's Closet," briefly described above. As you progress through the game, you win clothes and accessories for Flo to wear. Younger girls will likely get the most enjoyment out of the Flo's Closet feature, as the clothes are fun but juvenile. You can also upgrade certain décor items around the restaurant, but your upgrade choices are very limited, especially compared to the décor customization in DD2.
Additional new features include:
1. Two new restaurant patrons: tourists, who want Flo to take their picture; and lovebirds, whose "smooching" annoys the surrounding tables. (The rest of the patrons are the same as in DD2.)
2. Five hidden/locked game scenarios, which can be unlocked by achieving all "expert" scores on each group of 10 levels.
3. Turbulence, which shakes the restaurant and spills glasses, requiring Flo to mop frequently.
4. Blackouts, where the screen is dark except for Flo's flashlight (a circle of light around the mouse pointer).
Don't let these challenges deter you from your goal: you must still serve customers speedily to keep them happy!
In summary, compared to DD1, this third version is an amazing, jaw-dropping improvement; but, as a blowout sequel to DD2, it falls a little short. I personally don't find Flo's Closet to be a huge perq, and I was really disappointed to see the décor upgrade feature cut back from DD2. However, there are many new features that make FOTG just as fun and addicting as previous versions -- it's a welcome addition to the Diner Dash series!
