SAN FRANCISCO - March 28, 2006 - Flo, the stockbroker turned entrepreneur who became one of the most popular video game heroines of 2005, returns in Diner Dash 2: Restaurant Rescue™ available today on PlayFirst.com. Based on Diner Dash™, which sold hundreds of thousands of copies worldwide, Diner Dash 2 continues Flo's story as she returns from restaurant Nirvana to save four friends from the nefarious Mr. Big Corp.
"PlayFirst has received emails from casual game players all over the world who love Diner Dash and can't wait to see the next chapter in Flo's story," said Kenny Dinkin, vice president and executive producer, PlayFirst. "New art, characters, powerups and a surprise fifth restaurant are sure to keep players on their tip-seeking toes."
According to a preview in Gamezebo, "Diner Dash 2: Restaurant Rescue looks to be just as fun, fresh and addictive as its predecessor - if not more so." When Flo hears that her old employer, Mr. Big Corp, is planning to demolish four local restaurants to make room for an enormous Mega Multiplex FoodPlaza, Flo rolls up her sleeves to help her friends escape the fate of the wrecking ball.
In the game, players must manage a stream of new customer types like the Family, Bookworm, Fitness Fanatic, and Cell Phone Addict. Diner Dash 2 introduces new obstacles on the restaurant floor such as crying babies and slippery spills. As players help Flo progress in the game, they can now personalize the decor of each restaurant. Powerups add staff to the restaurants in the form of Busser, Drink Server, Hostess or Entertainer.
