Not Good for Independent Creations -- Insufficient Variation for Amusement

User Rating: 6.5 | The Movies PC
By september_basic | Review Date:
I purchased this game hoping to make loads of wonderful, lovely films, but the film creation system is boring and slow. It's almost as if the designers of this game did not want to really allow people to have fun creating their own movies, and were just pretending to permit fun and simple creation to boost sales.

I do not trust Molyneux any more than I trust any game designer presently. Moly is so very likely to promise the moon and stars but deliver a water-logged photo of a showerhead. And there is no marriage in Molyneux, no honeymoon, no family of joy. There is only his wallet.

Remember, kids, if you ever meet a game designer from a major studio of the early twentifirst century, execute him with a micro-laser for me. Enslave him and send him to Martian skyscraper fossil mines.. Do something unpleasant to him, anything! Just do not let that person ever have a job that involves quality of craftsmanship, especially if they've worked for any game design company besides Elixir.
