Comments: I'm always a bit wary with sequels to games, but like the Diner Dash series, Chocolatier 2 had the foresight to come up with a fresh scenario whilst keeping the same game that everyone loved first time around.

The C2 is set years into the future, with a fresh batch of characters, but with some familiar - albeit older - faces still floating around the world.

All the principles are the same as in the first one, except this time, you're operating "undercover" for Jarrah Tang's granddaughter Alexandra who's concerned that her father has forgotten that innovation is necessary to continue. You work to learn the trade and build up your own business whilst Alex sneaks you recipes and helps you make contacts to help you along before taking over the business.

One of the fun things in this is the introduction of "secret ports" at various exotic locations. These ports house fantastic and unique (but EXPENSIVE) new ingredients for you to play with. Also, some ingredients are now seasonal - just like in real life, you can still buy them out of season, but you'll pay 2-3 times more than when they're in season! There's also a lot more recipes - with new sorts of chocolates (and sauces!) to discover and make.

The other thing of note added to the game is the "Chocolate Testing Lab" where you can play around with ingredients and make new taste sensations from your exotic ingredients!

The main con for me was the equipment needed to make the truffles... Instead of moving in a regular circle like all the others, it moves in and out and is just plain annoying. I assume it was designed to make it challenging, but it's just downright aggravating! The prices of some ingredients are hideously expensive - $10000+ for a couple! I'm know it's designed to be "realistic" but it is only a game...

If you loved the first game, this one will NOT disappoint!

Comments: I love the effort that went into figuring out what ingredients come from what part of the world, along with good design of the clothing, buildings, faces and skin colors to accurately represent the world community. Also goes for music - each represented its locale.

I also love that it gives the opportunity to learn organizational skills (it's much easier if you make a list of ingredients and then each new port you go to, update your list to show what place has which items). It also lets you practice budgetting.

I love the secret ports and the lab! I LOVE food experiments.

I notice a lot of people complain about money. Except for the 1st 1-2 hours, I never had to worry much about money. I was pretty rich and could buy anything, but I had a plan for how much I was making at a time and tried to buy along those lines. You work with math a lot- great game for kids for such a variety of fun ways to learn.

I loved all the recipe ideas, and I will surely be trying some combos in my kitchen, in cookie form.

I hated that I accidentally overspent at a secret port, leaving me not enough to travel out. And my game was over. :( There was no way to undo the action or get a loan.

I wish there was a log of all the conversation during the quests. My fingers are fast and sometimes I clicked past things on accident. I enjoy plot so that was disappointing.

I also found it very tedious to have to make all the chocolates. I would like the option to randomize (like a gamble), even if it gave me a low number of output. Then I could try for better, or leave it as is.

Once you win (takes about 15-17 hours with breaks for meals), the casual game is completely boring. I wish there was an interesting challenge or goal for casual mode.

There were minor differences from the first game that made Choco 2 more efficient and easier to track your stuff and click back and forth.

All in all, I loved this game and despite the few annoyances, I definitely recommend it.

Comments: This is a great game. The graphics and sound are amazingly good and all the different locations around the globe look authentic. The game downloads pretty soon as well.

It basically follows the Chocolatier 1 and Tradewinds concept, but this time there are secret locations to source ingredients from, and there are many more cities to visit. The factory mini-game is there as well, though it's a little more difficult.

But I think Chocolatier 2 is far too addictive. So I won't buy it!

Comments: Chocolatier 2 is one of the best games I have ever played. I bought the first one,and that was a ton of fun. Now I try the second one,likely going to buy it! There are new chocolate recipies and types,which gives one a goal to discover everything and keeps them busy. There are secret ports which hold secret ingredients,such as ants in the Amazon. At first I thought that the ants were just something silly,but I bought some and found I could make chocolate covered ants. That brought a smile to my face. You can match colors while making chocolates,which gives you even more chocolates! The chocolate lab makes for mad chocolate scientist fun. Grab a few secret ingredients,play around,and boom! chocolates. There are more ports,such as Paris,to visit and buy,sell,and get quests. There are more company sign options as well,which gives the user more creativity. All in all,Chocolatier 2 is a very good game,if you tried the first Chocolatier,try this one. If your new,you have two choices. Try this,or the first one. Have fun!
