Diner Dash

San Mateo, Calif. – Nov. 18, 2009 – Diner Dash®, the award-winning casual game franchise created by PlayFirst, is taking orders on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft for the first time. Published by Hudson Entertainment, the North and South American subsidiary for HUDSON SOFT, Diner Dash is rated E for Everyone by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) and downloadable on Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft for 800 Microsoft Points.

“ Diner Dash is more exciting than ever on Xbox LIVE Arcade for Xbox 360, with updated HD graphics and 8-person multiplayer mode,” said Sabine Duvall, vice president of product development at Hudson Entertainment. “Classic gameplay and broad appeal make Diner Dash perfect for any home.”

Diner Dash comes to life in 3D on next generation consoles when players have the option to take direct control of Flo as she runs around to seat patrons, take orders, deliver food, receive payment and bus tables as efficiently as possible within the time limit allowed. Players fond of the traditional control schemes may also use a point-and-click style with hotkeys to aid Flo in her quest for customer satisfaction, which is reflected in a heart meter that empties as customers lose patience. If the meter empties completely, then the customer will leave the restaurant. Servers looking to play with co-workers can join with up to seven other players in multiplayer across four diners in Team Dash or go 1 on 1 in head-to-head mode.
