Away with Hollywood! Lionhead Studios has everything you need right here!

User Rating: 9 | The Movies PC
Have you ever seen a movie that was hyped to the heavens, watched it and then went away feeling really disappointed, thinking I could of done so much better? Here is your chance!
Firstly this game is gorgeous to look at. The visuals really capture the essence of what Hollywood is all about: glamor, color and personality. The visuals don't compare to the likes of your modern CoD or Empire: Total War, but they are still attractive enough to keep you attentive.

The game itself is pretty easy to play after the tutorial sets you up with the basics, and the game can be played through to its end with the basics alone.
However, the game gets better when you use the custom script writers office. Here, you basically create a film from scratch, from assigning roles, selecting scenes and then editing it in the production office where you can add your own music voice and sounds, or stick with what lionhead studios offer you.
There are hundreds of scenes to be used and the editing office allows you to cut and copy them so they look different every time.
You will be lost in an endless addiction of creating your own films and it really adds to the life of the game.

I still play this game now and I never tire of it.

Unfortunately for some, as I will understand, may make a film and think..."hang on, ive used this scene 43 times before, but there really is no other alternative".
Another problem I have found is that it is very hard to sync your films.
For example, I have a scene where two people are in a living room talking by the kitchen window.
The next scene see's them fighting by the couch.

This can be worked around, but it requires alot of patience.

This is basically what your enjoyment of this game will boil down to. If you are willing to invest the time and be patient, this game will capture your imagination and you heart.
If you lack this quality and prefer hands on action, you will find this game very tedious.

Well worth the buy if you want to kill some time.
