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.

This game does not work on low end AMD processors despite the box saying 800MHz AMD or better.

Unless you have around a 1.6 – 2.0GHz, this game will not work. The reason seems to be related to the sound library using SSE instructions which are unavailable on older AMD chips.

I have a 1.2GHz AMD and this game crashes with sound on.

This is a complaint against Lionhead/Acti­vision, not gpstore :)

Be warned.

Great game!! although it does have some functions that I couldnt work out after a few minutes that I gave up on e.g. Editing etc etc which I didnt see the point of.. Still awesome and its great seeing your studio go through the times too very addictive

If you love making movies then this is the game for you. Progressing through movie history from the 20's to now is just great! Having your own stars and picking who goes in which movie is one of many highlights. My favourite bit has to be at the awards ceremony every five game years. I also love releasing my movies and seeing what star rating they get- and how many millions I earn from them. This is one of the best games ever made. You will love it
