Bring out the Spielberg in you!

User Rating: 9.4 | The Movies PC
Before anything, I would like to plainly say that this game is NOT for everyone. Anyone who finds the process of making movies boring, or uninteresting should steer clear. Why? Although this game is marketed to be a strategy tycoon game, it isn't. There is definatley some tycoonish gameplay, but the major aspect of the game is making movies for yourself, and if you enjoy the idea of making your own movies, then you will heartely enjoy this game.

The game is pretty much split into two sections. The running and management of your studio lot and actors, and the making of movies. Because of this, the developers seem to have put a lot more emphasis on the making of movies, so the tycoon aspect of the game seems a little underdeveloped. That being said, it is still fun making your actors breakdown due to too much stress...

As with all Lionhead games, there is also a healthy dose of good natured humour, which also helps keep the masses amused. Pick up the game if you like the novelty of being able to create your very own movies, but if your looking for a tycoon game to test your skill, you may be better of looking somewhere else.
