**INTRODUCTION**

I have recently been playing a game that I can get into, and is very good and a lot to do and achieve in this game. Great effects during the game and great graphics and sounds too. Let me share with you what the game is about. I like this game simply because I like any sim based game and any tycoon game and this fits in with the collection just nicely.

**WHAT IS RESTAURANT EMPIRE**

Restaurant Empire is a sim/tycoon type game, and very fun to play. This game will suit everyone in the family, as it is easy when you know how to play the game, the basics are you have to run your very own restaurant, of course you will have your staff to help out, and you can also decorate your restaurant to your tastes. Watch your guests in your restaurant for complaints too, this will give your restaurant a bad name if you get too many, they mostly complain about the staff, food, or that the restaurant is too noisy for them. There are goals set for you to complete too, like the first one I had was I had to get 35 customers in the restaurant and also make sure I have £30,000 in my bank by the end of the month, but it keeps you on your toes.

**INSTALLATION**

The installation process is very easy to do, all you do is place the cd into the rom drive, and wait for it to load up, then browse to where you want the game installing too, and click ok then It will then install to the destination f your choice, this process with only take a few minutes, so you might as well go make yourself a cuppa, as once you start playing this game you will find that you cant drive yourself away from the game.

**STARTING THE GAME**

When you get into the game you will notice you can have the tutorial to help out what you have to do and where to find things that will help. The tutorial is by voice and illuminated arrows. First of all you will get to know how to move around in your restaurant with ease, then on to where things are like
your restaurant, and how to decorate it to your taste, and then onto the menu making, you design your own menu, the colour and font of the menu by the ready-made colours and fonts in the game. The tutorial will help with the how to of each things added to the restaurant and the adding of the recipes to the menu.

Then you will move onto the hiring of staff you will need to help maintain a good service in your restaurant. There are a few people that have to work in your restaurant and make sure you get someone with a lot of skill for the job. You can also up/down their wages, and fire or hire them, and look at their skill.

Then we move onto the reports and extra things to do with the game that you will need to know occasionally. You can see various reports to do with your restaurant and the running of it, how much profit you are receiving, how much goods you?re selling, how much you have left. Here you will also find any complaints made by your customers whilst visiting the restaurant, make sure you keep checking this tab, as then you will know what to change in order to keep your customers happy and wanting to keep coming back.

You will have tips throughout the game to help too, and also the mail box at the bottom which will let you know certain things to help with the running of your restaurant, things like complaints or compliments made by customers, or other things in order to make you aware of things either slipping or running perfect.
Like I said before you will certain goals to complete, if anyone have played theme hospital where you have to cure so many patients and a certain amount of money then this is basically the same thing, the goals you will found where the reports are and also where you will find the complaints too.

**AVAILIBILITY**

is game from http://www.fileplanet.com/files/120000/120779.shtm l

**PRICE**

The price is around £24 which if you have played this already is pretty good for the money, if you haven?t but not sure about paying that much a game you barely know then I advise you to download the demo and see what you think first.
