DS Review: Sally's Salon

Sally's Salon is, indeed, another time management game. Don't write it off so quitely though, it is interesting. As the name implies, you're playing the character of Sally, who's beginning to run her own salon. (Shocker.) You have to rush to keep up with all of your clients' requests and keep them happy, as usual. But there are a lot of different requests, all of which will only increase as the game progresses - everything from hair washing, haircuts, styling, dye jobs, moustache coloring, perms, manicures, pedicures, blow outs, adornments, eyebrow tweezing, spray tanning, etc etc...you get the idea. And you only have a very limited amount of time to do it all in. Naturally, you can (and will) buy upgrades as the game goes on, or else you won't be able to complete the game, for the demands become too many and too fast. You'll eventually enlist the aide of a couple of assistants, but even with them there, it's still pretty challenging to keep up.

Overall I liked this game, but I felt like it was too short. Other than that, I have no real complaints. I'm rating this a 4 out of 5 stars.
