Imagine a game based on Donald Trump's TV show The Apprentice. Given a business goal, you split off into two teams and meet in conference rooms to brainstorm. You come up with a brilliant plan and put it into action, using teamwork to get the job done. Then, the Donald evaluates you and gives you proper feedback. Well, that is not this game. The Apprentice Los Angeles is essentially a customer service simulator rendered with cartoonish graphics to make the demeaning tasks more palatable. You're judged on how quickly and efficiently you bring patrons what they demand via a point system. Then, when you finally get into the board room, you must arbitrarily select two team members to help you in a card-matching memory game, the loser of which gets FIRED. All right, so it's not intended to be a serious simulation. - it's a somewhat whimsical, casual game that's fairly easy to play. Office water-cooler debaters may get a kick out of it - for a while. But anyone working in the food service or retail industry, well ... don't say we didn't warn you.
