Yoshinoya Beef Bowl Simulator Thrills For PS2

An anonymous reader writes "According to a hands-on account of Success' Japanese PS2 title Yoshinoya over at GameSpot, the game, based on the popular Japanese/U.S. restaurant chain, 'is quite possibly one of the greatest beef-bowl simulators on the current generation of game consoles.' Sadly, the game probably won't make it out of Japan." Apparently filled with hectic multi-part gameplay: "You'll take the role of a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed trainee at a Yoshinoya store who must work his way up through the ranks of the apron-and-hat-wearing set to be the best employee to ever seat a customer, pour tea, prepare a bowl, and shout 'Arigato gozaimashita!'"

Sounds like an interesting puzzle game by Fiz+Ocelot · 2004-06-18 07:08 · Score: 4, Informative

If you do rtfa, you'll discover it's a puzzle game that consists of generating combos or "chains" of customers. You create these chains to score more points and add time to the clock.
They basically used ideas from other puzzle games that work, and applied beef bowls and some twists. So no it's not a "work simulator". And I'd actually like to try it.
