Guide Review - "Fast Food Tycoon 2"
My biggest problem with the original was the difficult interface. "Fast Food Tycoon 2" has a much improved interface, not perfect, but certainly better. Their "tutorial" is lacking in many areas - it barely exists. It helps you get the parlor open, but doesn't help you advance to different levels. Don't expect to get very far when in your first game, you'll spend most of the time exploring the menus. I adore the graphics and sound. They are perfect for this type of game. Overall, once I figured out the basics, I discovered I was playing a fun and strangely enough, addicting game.
