I forgot to say...when you get the Gourmet edition, the
things that come with it for the standard price are the 5
main restaurants (zoo, baseball, museum, boardwalk, disco),
some extra clothes, and the ability to play online
multiplayer.
.
In addition, IF you want to, you
can buy extra clothes or extra optional restaurants. (Many
people have used the example of buying a Barbie doll. Then
it's up to you if you want to buy extra clothes, the
dreamhouse, the car, and so on.)
.
So far each
there are four optional restaurants: Coral Cove Water Park,
The Crypt (Hallowe'en), Hometown
Harvest, and
Winter Wonderland. Each one costs
$4.99. You can buy one, two, whatever you want, in any
order.
.
Each optional restaurant can be played
in story mode (10 levels) or online multiplayer or
endless.
.
Once you buy an optional restaurant, it
will show up somewhere on the map. Coral Cove, The Crypt,
and Hometown
Harvest appear at
"The Wharf," a land to the right of Hometown on the map.
Winter Wonderland appears in
"Dinertown," a land to the left of Hometown on the map. To
move from one land to another, click on the large orange
arrows on the edge of the map.
.
So...buying the
main Gourmet Edition gives you the 5 main restaurants in
story mode, endless mode, and online multiplayer. Plus the
ability to buy the optional restaurants if you like.
.
Buying one of the optional restaurants without
buying the main edition lets you play just that one
restaurant in story mode, endless mode, and online
multiplayer, plus the 7 free trial levels of the Zoo.
.
Buying the main Gourmet Edition plus one of the
optional restaurants (in either order) lets you play the 5
main restaurants plus whichever optional one you bought.
.
Hope that helps!
