After playing the demo, I am a buyer. I don't know why someone would say too many clicks to do anything unless they're not used to TM games.... you show goods, help at the dressing room, stock shelves and cash people out. You have an option to greet at the door for more tips but don't have to. You get more helpers so you're not frantic trying to help everyone with only one worker. You can train ...Show more

You have an option to greet at the door for more tips but don't have to. You get more helpers so you're not frantic trying to help everyone with only one worker. You can train your workers, change the decor, pick what outfits you want to sell before starting each day. For me it's a fun, DIFFERENT game and I am enjoying it. Show less

I recommend this game!

I loved it! Bought it after 20 min., as soon as I realized it was like Bistro Boulevard for clothing shops. If you've played Bistro, you'll see that this has the same basics...hire & train staff, wait on customers, decorate the shops, purchase appropriate clothing selections based upon each customers preferences. Excellent graphics, challenging, but not impossibly frustrating, fun to decorate ...Show more

Excellent graphics, challenging, but not impossibly frustrating, fun to decorate shops, can't rate sound as I play with it muted. I've been waiting for another in the "Boulevard" series to come out. They're great for people like myself, who enjoy TM games, but have a difficult time with some of the fast paced ones. Show less

I was pleased when I realised this was like the Bistro Boulevard game and within a few minutes, I knew I'd buy it.
I like these kind of time management games, where it's not just a massive click-fest. It's much slower paced and you can upgrade and achieve the goals as you wish. You can also move onto the next shop as long as you have enough stars, you don't have to achieve every goal ...Show more

If you are getting stuck having to move your staff around, as another reviewer said, it's best to upgrade to more staff and training first. it's easier and you don't have to have every outfit available straight away. Plus, to save money, I put one person on the till and don't let them go anywhere else and *just* upgrade their "till" skills. Same with the changing room person when I have enough staff. The other two work shop floor and greeting.

Another positive is that you can change wallpaper and flooring straight-away to the design you like as it doesn't cost anything.

Best BF TM game for some time. Hurrah for something that doesn't get me irritated and become just a clicking game! Show less

This is a nice second addition to the "Boulevard" series of time management games.

The good:
- a different approach to typical salon-type games
- focus on staff management rather than customer management
- non-linear
- smooth gameplay
- widescreen (stretch) option
- no time limit
- a series of tasks to be completed in any order rather than a set goal for the day
- easy to learn the basics; ...Show more

- non-linear
- smooth gameplay
- widescreen (stretch) option
- no time limit
- a series of tasks to be completed in any order rather than a set goal for the day
- easy to learn the basics; enjoyable for all ages
- different stores/upgrades

the not-quite-as-good:
- as with the previous game (Bistro Boulevard) gameplay can become a little repetitive in later stages
- feels limited in your management options (not much complexity eg. you can't set pricing/salaries)
- some choices have no impact (wallpaper, shelf type etc)

I love this style of game. If you haven't played the first one, it might be confusing at first (especially the task list) but stick with it, it's a relaxing TM with no real pressure. Play at your own pace, move on only when you feel like it. Show less

I recommend this game!

I like Bistro Boulevard, but I love (LOVE!) Boutique Boulevard...possibly because I'm much better with clothes than food! :D I like that you have more control over your staff, where they go and whatnot, rather than just sitting and watching. I don't mind the dragging, once you get a full staff I found I didn't have to do too much of it. It's a nice change from the frantic clicking in other games. ...Show more

Like Bistro Boulevard, this game allows you the freedom to decorate your space as you see fit, train people and instead of unlocking ingredients to make dishes, you're unlocking garments to make outfits. This Boulevard game is a little more hectic in that you manage your staff during the levels (unlike letting the waiters do everything in the bistro version), but it's an okay TM.

Firstly I am NOT into hectic TM games like the Dashes. If you love going crazy this is not the game for you. It is much more chilled and one can take their time to build up to it. I think any future games from this company will be compared to Bistro Blvd. To me, BB was more difficult in terms of trying to figure out the recipes. Since these are outfits it's slightly easier but I've made mistakes ...Show more

Firstly I am NOT into hectic TM games like the Dashes. If you love going crazy this is not the game for you. It is much more chilled and one can take their time to build up to it. I think any future games from this company will be compared to Bistro Blvd. To me, BB was more difficult in terms of trying to figure out the recipes. Since these are outfits it's slightly easier but I've made mistakes in unlocking the right sets. On my screen the black/greys, like the Expensive Suit set, is difficult to see so it took forever hunting for the sunglasses #which are w/ the Suit#. Also the Cos play set, with the cat's ears easily gets mixed with the hairbow. I love fashion, I love slower paced TM and so this is a perfect game for me. I do find the bubble noise annoying after playing the 2nd store. I also wish like in the forums, an upgraded dressing room and cash registers. With only one register/dressing room, the customers get easily irritated if they wait a few microseconds. I do like The Sims ability to change walls and floors. And since I'm on the 2nd store only, it's not like BB, where one has to figure out the layout to squeeze in the maximum amount of tables for guests. The first play is a bit difficult because like BB. one doesn't have a lot of money to upgrade and buy in the beginning to get the higher scores/monies. So this one is a little more hands on but like other TM games one has to move the 'workers' to place to place anyway. Again, I don't think this game would be for those who like a frentic crazy, adrenalin filling pace. It is hard to find these more slower paced games. But please don't think that this is dull, I find it quite challenging and FUN. I bought it 22 minutes into the demo. Show less

I recommend this game!

If you are a fan of Bistro Boulevard, then you are gonna love this one! Same premise, you own a section of boarded up properties. In this one, it's Fashion Boutiques. You have to hire employees, achieve several tasks, and make your first boutique 5 stars before you can go on to renovate the other shops. I thought it was a lot of fun. Loved it!
