  1. Restaurant Empire doesn't offer a main course very different from the first episode, but is certainly a good management game. The two campaigns are long and challenging but the game leaves a strange taste in your mouth, you definitely like it but actually you think that something special is missing.
  2. Restaurant Empire II is an engaging enough management sim that can be enjoyable and even occasionally challenging at times, and with the wealth of options available offering huge variety in the gameplay, if you become hooked then it will last a while.
  3. If you are looking for a tycoon style meal then chow down on this because you won’t find a better restaurant management game out there.
  4. You can admire the complexity and new ideas in Restaurant Empire 2, like cafés or patisseries but you can’t deny the confusing controls and the fact it soon gets repetitive and boring. [Aug 2009]

    I'm really tired of these reviewers review new games based on old games. They have lost the ability to review unbiasedly. I review each game based on what that game does not what some other game did before it. This game is excellent and excellent fun and challenging to boot. Graphics are excellent and the new recipes and things to pretty up your restaurants are awesome looking. It's on sale at Gamersgate right now for $4.99 so you can't cry about the pricing you are getting waaaay more game than it costs you. Expand
