About writes: "Poor Flo. As if almost single handedly running a restaurant by herself wasn't enough, the star of the Diner Dash series has run into yet another snag in her latest outing: her restaurant blew up. But that doesn't stop Flo, who decides that the best thing to do is continue to serve customers anyways, wherever they happen to be. This twist helps differentiate Diner Dash 5: BOOM! from the rest of the series, while still maintaining the intense, fast-paced action that's made the series such a hit."
Bright Hub writes "Flo makes a return to the diner business in the latest in the long line of Diner Dash games. Flo's most recent outing ventures a little further into some customization options but mainly keeps everything else standard-fare."
Spawn Kill's Rebecca "CuatroChihuahuas" Quintana writes, "I'm not afraid to admit it: while I love a good 'serious' JRPG any day, I also enjoy many so-called 'casual' games like Diner Dash and Cake Mania. So when I got the opportunity to review Flo's latest culinary outing, Diner Dash 5: Boom!, I jumped at the chance. It'd been a while since I'd last played Diner Dash: Hometown Hero, and my clicking finger was itching for another go of frantic arcade-style fun. How does this latest installment pan out?"
You're wrong K-Tuck! These games are perfect for passing time and flexin' the reflexes. How could they make it less frenetic?! Adding too much isn't always a good thing. :(
I was thinking about buying this game, but I'm so glad I decided to hold off on doing that, now. I think I'll pick up one of the more challenging titles instead. Thanks for saving me some money!
Yeah, if you really want a challenge and haven't played it yet, I highly recommend Hometown Hero... and it looks like they have new levels you can buy after you finish the main game. It is the most challenging of the series, at least in my opinion. I'm actually replaying it right now, and it's kinda refreshing after DD5.
The newest Diner Dash on the menu is now available for PC (check it out at PlayFirst's Web site). But what does the "Boom" stand for? Well, in the game, a mysterious troublemaker erases the Fat-Free Breakfast sign so it just reads "Free Breakfast" over Flo's restaurant. A crowd of hungry early-birds bum-rushes the restaurant and causes it to collapse into rubble. BOOM! The evil contractor, Mr. Big, wants to take over the newly vacant lot, but Flo is determined to bring her food to the people. Luckily, Handyman Hal is willing to rebuild Flo's restaurant, but in the meantime, Flo gets creative as she serves her customers outside in the big city!
