A pretty good game

User Rating: 9.3 | The Movies PC
The Movies by LionHead Studios is a pretty good game, and you should try it. This game starts in the 1920's and ends sometime in the 20th century. The point of the game is to make your own movies, but there is a catch.... Now you cant do whatever you want in your movies, and there are certain sets in the game. You cant create your own sets so far, and you cant tell your actors to do EXACTLY what you want them to do.

When you choose a set, you will get a bunch of choices to choose from. For example, a choice you can pick on the "Bombed Street" set is a fight scene. And depending on the type of fight scene, it can be two, three, or even four people in a fight. But, there are a ton of sets and scenes to choose from, so you can still make a good movie even with all the limits in the game.

Whats really cool is the editing part of your movies. After your actors are done filming, you can take it to "Post Production" and add subtitles, voice overs, music, and even change the scenes around if you wish. If you do a voice over, you can get your actor to lip-sync to it, so it looks real. The sound in the game is pretty good, and it actually changes when time goes by when your doing Career Mode. Like in the 1920's, there will be 1920's music, and when it reaches lets say 1950, there will be music from 1950, so it usually changes every 10 years.

The graphics in the game are "ok". They could be improved. The sets is what LionHead put their work into and thats what looks the best. The people and your studio look bad...

So if you like to make your own movies, then you should try this game. Even if you dont, you still might find this game pretty fun. You can keep on making movies forever and not be bored (and they are currently making an expansion which will give you more variety!)
