Summary: Repetitive, but fun nonetheless.
Review: ...P>Now, onto the review! I first downloaded the demo for this game and was immediately intrigued. Such a novel, yet simple concept kept me hooked until my eyes bleared with exhaustion and I had to call it a night. It amazed me at the ease that I could rip off a perfect martini or even a simple Scotch and soda. The in-game personalities, which are, admittedly, a little annoying at times, are nonetheless peppered with humorous quips that had me rolling. ("The next drunk-... that pets me, I'm goin' feral on their ... ...unless it a chick." Riot!)

My advice is to buy it for a night, but save it for a party. Let your friends try this game and they'll be begging you for your copy. However, it's an acquired taste, and not for everybody. Shame.

Summary: At least I didn't pay that much for it....
Review: A fun game for the price, nothing too exciting after you reach the fifth stage of the game. Everything is repetitive and you pretty much get the feeling that "I've seen it once and don't need to see it again".

Another thing is that I'm using an iMac rev D with 96 megs of RAM. When there was a lot of graphic movement and talking going on my cpu was really working and the game began to get jagged and skippy.

Overall I was not impressed with the game and will probably be selling it soon.

Summary: Ehhhhh, fun for a day....
Review: It seemed like a novel concept, but now I know why a bartending job would be boring if you only had the same 10 customers all night every night. The charactors in this game are very weak. Sure you make them different drinks, but they say the same thing all the time. It can be challenging to keep up the pace, but I found it more challenging to keep awake.

Summary: Be a Bartender
Review: Last Call is much more sophisticated than your average shoot-em-up or punch-em-up computer game. You are the bartender..you have a fully-equipped bar in front of you..and a succession of eccentric New York characters are your customers. They order their drinks--from beer to Alabama Slammers. You mix the drinks, moving glasses and bottles and mixers around with your mouse..measuring quantities with a meter that shows the ounces you are pouring..and serving them up to the customers as quickly as you can. If you get the drink right and get it served quickly, the customer tips you generously. If you've got it wrong or take too long, expect some caustic remarks from the cutomers. The point of the game is to earn tips for drinks mixed correctly and served quickly, and also--like most games--to become more and more skilled, moving up to higher levels of speed and difficulty so that you are serving several customers at the same time, flirting with the women and joshing with the men. The game is a lot of fun; the cartoon-like characters are well-developed; and the dialogue is witty. And you get the recipes for dozens of different cocktails.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Bar game
Review: Last Call was very much what I expected. Graphics and sound is very good.Drink recipes has a full range. The bar area and set-up is very realistic and especially the way the drinks are poured it is like the real thing. I particularly liked how each level would really test your knowledge and memory. The cast of characters are very funny and imaginative. My 14 year old got a hold of this game and played to levels that amazed me. This is with no experience in a bar , ofcourse. This is a very forgiving game and anyone can play it. Recommended for bartender's and customers alike.

Summary: A Quick Word From the Developers
Review: Seeing Last Call on Amazon is a big thrill! Countless hours, and pizza slices went into the development of LC, and we are thrilled to share our work with the world. And yes, we did our fair share of "research". Some quick words about the title.

Last Call is a comprehensive simulation, but don't let that scare you. We took great pains to make it accessible for casual gamers AND challenging for serious players. As a precaution we tested it on our parents - and if my dad can mix a vodka gimlet, so can you. Most reviewers are initially impressed by the novelty of the title. LC is a great 15-minute pick-me-up. But once your customers get a little tipsy, they really make things interesting. Also, there are always fun little tricks to make your life easier. Please feel free to email me with questions and comments. We like our game,.. hope you do to.
