The Movies

An interesting time waster! The game hogs your system's resources, but it's worth it to have the thrill of the finished product – making your own movie! At times, the screen looks like it's under attack from a pop up virus, there's so many speech balloons and so much going on at the same time. Eventually the tedium of running the simulated games gets a little boring, but if you want a basic yet entertaining movie making facility – this is it. Btw, Lionhead Studios isn't interested in making any more expansion packs after stunts & effects – the low sales of this game doesn't warrant it.

I dont even have a good graphics card and the game works graet. It is so fun creating movies and hiring/firing actors. The only bad thing is that the years take a while, but this can be a good thing as it lengthens the game time. You can even watch awards shows and see if your company competes with the worlds greats.

I thought this game was fantastic!! Despite what someone else says in their review about it not working on a machine with less than 1.6 GHz processor – I ran it on a 1 GHz machine, and it ran very well. I had just over minimum requirements, and as I mentioned it ran very well. Obviously transitions would be faster on a faster machine, but it's not unplayable.
