    I got the distinct impression that I was jumping through hoops for the sake of the hoop, not the game. [July 2003, p.120]
  2. Despite its delectable appearance, Restaurant Empire is not a game for the feeble-minded or faint-hearted. You have to have the stomach to do what it takes to keep your restaurant profitable.

    Once things are set in motion, there's not much to do aside from the occasional tweak. [June 2003, p.85]

    All the ingredients were in place, and the resulting concoction isn't totally worthless, it's just that between the freaky game design decisions and poorly thought out content, this is a meal some gamers may not have the stomach for.
