Order up! Trump Style..

I. Love. This. Game.

As I started to progress, my 60 mins was close to finished. I hurried and made the purchase.

Where to start. This is like Diner Dash, but better. Its real world ethics. You can only give someone so many cups of coffee, after all!

You start with a Sushi restaurant, a boutique and a surf shop. It's a bit repetitive as you keep returning. But you earn little goodies to increase your profit. If you do a decent job, you'll motivate the assistants to work faster. This is fast paced! You can't control the patience of your customers. This is raw skill and speed. The graphics are similiar to Delicious. The more you progress the faster you get. Beat the clock, keep your customers happy. You'll rack up the points. Stay ahead of the competition and you can avoid the boardroom!

It does go quick, which is disappointing. But, the true test will come with the last level!

Which I won't spoil :-p

If you've beaten all 3 Diner Dash games and you want a challenge. It's right here!

Make the goal and you can relax.

if you fail..

you are fired

WARNING! Serious clicking action required in this game!

I do depend a lot on reviews in this site to see which game to try out or to purchase. So when I was writing how disappointed I was with Sushi Frenzy, I read about this game with a similar theme. I tried the 1st The Apprentice game before, and didn't like it. I knew a friend who has this game and I tried this one out and I must say, thanks for the recommendation fellow reviewers/gamers/netizens. A great game indeed. It is difficult, which is why there was never the option of easy/difficult/die trying. What I love about this game isn't the Donald Trump quotes. His daughter's cartoonised face almost made me stop playing but the best is there are 3 games in each level.

1st is managing a sushi restaurant and it is akin to Diner Dash and that disastrous Sushi Frenzy, with better graphics and very challenging game play. I love this part so much I was disappointed I had to move to the 2nd part. My question is why no one has made a decent Sushi Restaurant game yet? I will definitely buy that. My only complain is the sushi, not enough variety.

2nd is managing a boutique shop, fetching customers the dresses, bag, shoes, etc. Quite difficult since there are so many things to be done at one time and I didn't quite like the snooty customers.

3rd, the hardest is managing a beach side equipment rental shop. It can get frantic, since you have to fetch things for customers and put back items into respective rack. And the customers are so impatient.

Whilst the game is enjoyable, the sushi being the best part, after a while it can get very difficult and tiring because it all boils down to how fast you can click the mouse button and how fast your eyes can dart from one side to the other side of the screen spotting what the customers want. But what this game isn't is boring. It is fast paced, beautifully rendered and although it is called The Apprentice, really it isn't like the TV show.

Get ready for some serious clicking action. Now I hope for Sushi Dash PLEASE!!!

Do you have what it takes to impress D. Trump?

The Apprentice: Los Angeles is one of the few games that has it all, the concept of the game is to challenge the other team in order to impress Donald Trump and win through the interview process, however only one member of your team will be selected,you will be asked to choose a character and manage a team in order to drive it away from the boardroom where one will be fired each time from the team which has less score.
The first round you will be asked to run a sushi bar where demanding customers request meals, you will have to do your best in this level as you can reach the highest sales and beat the other team, the next levels has the same concept but diffrent location ( boutique & sports shop) as you advance you will realize that the customers become so demanding so you have to remain really focused and FAST.
Overall, the game is very entertaining and has both time management skills and strategy in it,you will sure find the game fun through this fast paced experience.

one of the best games played

as title: this is one of the BEST games ive played. i could always refrain from staying up all night clocking a game, but this game bet my record! this game just kept me playing and playing until donald trump finally says 'you're hired'

the apprentice los angeles is a lot better than the first one. it has way better graphics and requires much more movement (clicking) you just don't have time for any breaks during a level! but because you're playing to 'impress' donald trump, you won't really feel the exhaustation till the level ends..

in a way, this game is kind of similar to turbo pizza except you don't get to choose your upgrades.

i recommend this game to anyone who likes the mania games or who just like competing against other 'people' honestly, give it a try! it's worth every penny!!

The Apprentice Los Angeles is Great

This one is so much better than the first one. I only played for a bit but I love it. If you like games like Diner Dash or Cake Mania, you'll love this one.
