I'd definitely recommend trying this one out on a free site before purchasing. Dash is a 10-year-old boy, as described by his mother, Helen, in the movie. However, by this point I was so bored with the game that I didn't care. I also found that the first 8 levels, or so, were quite easy to advance to. when you collect enough money, the purchase options are very limited and in my opinion were not varied enough to really enhance the game. Although you can choose to purchase things like faster shoes. Although each level gets more and more difficult (more tables, an increased number of impatient customers.) the game sequence (seat, take order, serve.)stays EXACTLY the same- no variety. I really enjoyed this game the first couple of times I played, but then it got VERY repetitive. When you collect enough money you progress to the next level of the game. Some are more patient than others and customers will leave if you don't move through the seat, take order, serve. The different customers include old ladies, kids and business people. The object of this game is to seat, take orders from, serve, collect money from and clear the table for several different types of customers.
