Having been years since playing the PC original, I don't know if they compensated for this loss of control precision by being kinder on the time limits, but it felt frustrating regardless. This often means getting her hung up at various points, or missing the hotspots by a few pixels and wasting precious time. Rather than clicking on a given station or table, players need to walk Flo through the Diner via the analog controls. Lacking precision of the mouse control, I often found myself having troubles negotiating the levels. On the control side of things, the PS3 version really feels clunky. Sure, the graphics are nicer than the original PC title, but the series has come a long way on the PC, so the latest Dash title on PC looks better as well. So how does the PS3 version differ from the very-familiar PC game? Not much, and not in good ways. Should Flo manage to meet the goal, it's off to the next, usually slightly more difficult, level. After a set number of customers cycle through, the diner is closed for the level and score is tabulated. Of course, Flo only has two hands, and so she has to juggle varying wait times of each table with that all-too-important patience meter.
Maximum points are racked up by performing uninterrupted chains of identical actions, such as picking up four tables' worth of orders before delivering the food. Flo then needs to visit each table at least four times, once to pick up the order, once to deliver food, once to settle the bill, and finally one to bus to table to make room for the next group.
Customers can be set at various tables depending on group size, and extra bonuses are racked up if players can manage to keep customers of the same color clothes sitting in a given chair throughout the evening. Of course, that meter dwindles rapidly when left hungrily awaiting their food or impatiently looking for their bill. All customers have a patience rating, which increases with prompt attention, coffee and free drinks, and a friendly chat. Depending on the customer type, be it the patient-but-slow-to-decide elderly gentleman, the gotta-have-it-now power luncher, or several types in between, Flo must find a spot for everyone. Customers of varying types arrive in groups to enjoy their dining experience.
