GamerMom’s Take On PlayFirst
Topic: Game Site Reviews| No Comments »
If you are a fan of Time Management games (as I am) then odds are you’ve played a Playfirst game or two or a dozen.
Playfirst created the Diner Dash series that set the standard for all time management games to come. With Flo as your main character, you are forced to serve lunch, sides, dessert and drinks (depending on which game you are playing) to an increasing rowdy crowd. I personally love the Diner Dash games but was annoyed (although greatly challenged) when they came up with the noise factor in the second and third games. You’d think people could get off their cell phones or stop reading for the 30 seconds they are eating lunch in my diner!
PlayFirst has also created several theme restaurants for Flo. You can play the first level for free and then the whole restaurant is only $4.99.
Playfirst has created great games other than just the Diner Dash series. Plantasia was a lot of fun and took a long time to get boring. I enjoyed Chocolatier and Chocolatier 2 although I’m not a big fan of of the new Great Chocolate Chase which is a time-management spin on the first two. Dress Shop Hop was an interesting and challenging game that I would recommend.
A whole group of other “Dash” games were also created. Some were great like Dairy Dash and Doggie Dash; some were good like Fashion Dash and Spongebob Diner Dash; and some were clear misses like Wedding Dash which just couldn’t hold my interest for a whole hour.
Playfirst has their own website even though they are heavily promoted by just about every PC download site out there. You should have no trouble finding enough Playfirst games to keep you occupied for a good long time.
