The Great Chocolate Chase
Continue exploring the deliciously rich world of Chocolatier, now with an adventure game twist! Join Evangeline Baumeister and your favorite Chocolatier characters, making and serving chocolate treats to international customers in a series of exotic chocolate shops around the globe. With the help of Klaus Werner's creative inventions, you'll face new challenges at every turn to get new chocolates into the eager hands of hungry customers. You can never have too much chocolate!
Being a fan of the entire "Chocolatier" series since the beginning, I did not hesitate to download this game. And I was not disappointed.
Although it bears very little resemblance to previous Chocolatier games, it does mention a lot of the Baumeister family, and the main character is Evangeline. The premise of the game is, Evangeline has decided to open candy stores around the world where customers can come in and buy the famous Baumeister line of chocolates straight out. She is testing out her shops in pretty remote locations, but that doesn't seem to stop her from getting customers.
The game itself is a lot like the "Cake Mania" series, in the sense that you take the customers order,make their chocolate, deliver it, and then take the money. There are all different kinds of chocolate, just like in the original "Chocolatier" game, ranging from bars, truffles, and pralines, to bottles and bowls of chocolates. The game itself is not difficult, although sometimes achieving the master scores can be a bit tricky. Like in all games of this type, you gain extra points by making chains of actions, and you can purchase power-ups, upgrades, and new machines for your stores at the beginning of each level.
Overall, although this isn't a very "Chocolatier" type game, it is very enjoyable for any fans of Diner Dash, Cake Mania-esque games. The graphics are as good as can be expected, the sound is non-obtrusive and doesn't get annoying, and the game can definitely be played for a few hours without getting bored. Overall, I enjoyed this game quite a bit.

No! NO NO NO!!!!!
No, I am sorry, but I was hoping that the Chocolatier-series wouldn't be tainted by this phenomena of Time-management. I have never quite fallen for this thing, like the Diner Dash and so on. To see the Chocolatier-series fall for this is heartbreaking...
But I guess for those who likes that type of game, it is an ok game. The characters are there, the graphics...not too good in my opinion, gameplay is to stressfull for me, but since I'm not so fond of these games, I don't have much to say about that.
I guess that it is an OK game, for those who like this type of games. But I can help to feel a bit disapointed, that they couldn't keep the Chocolatier-games away from this.

Ew!
I can't believe I thought this game was going to be good. I thought it was going to be like Chocolatier 3, but unfortunately, it's just another "Diner Dash" rip off. Stay away if you actually enjoyed any of the Chocolatier games and expect this one to be anything similar.
