In this game you own and run a film studio. This involves numerous tasks: building trailers for actors, upgrading workshops, choosing sets and later upgrading them, buying scripts, hiring actors. Luckily there is a nice in-game tutorial that helps you learn the ropes. For me the most exciting part was matching sets, scripts and actors and then watching how this match worked (box office results). For example, you pick a comedy film for a town set and hire an actor who has strong comedy skills. As usual in tycoon games, the more money you earn , the better upgrades become available, and with better upgrades you can make better movies and eventually get new awards. You reach a new level once you get the necessary number of awards. The only thing that annoyed my in this game was its music. I think it is the first time I turned off music in the game. But probably it’s just me. This is an entertaining game with a lot of things to do. I really liked it. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

It's been a long time that a game that's open-ended has been introduced...Many kudos & thanks on that! ^_^ Sound: Pretty good, nothing to complain about. Video: Would be nice to have some options...seems that my screen isn't too happy about the size of things, but it is intuitive enough (the game) to partially fit most screen sizes. Playability: Very well done... Saddened me a bit to know there were a few sets I'd not see unless I made a second file, as you seem to be locked into using 4. I did like how the upgrading worked however, the 4 segments of each set. Replay Value: Not too bad, although the length of time to get to the different levels and the lack of 'true' upgrading towards the end levels makes it a bit tough to envision. It would of been nice to see more locale changes and perhaps more interaction towards the 'people' wandering around the lot. Conclusion: I'd give it a 4 'ish' but put a 5 as it definitely deserves the 4 star rating given by the original reviewer. I am curious as to how this game could hold expansions, which is something that most 'true' tycoon games are able to procure given time. I look forward to seeing what comes of that. ^_^ A pretty good game overall...a definate 'must-have' on the TM & Tycoon lover's list. P.S. The review screen definately needs BBCode or basic HTML...lol I hate run-on paragraphs :p Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

This is a fun game to me, you got to build the set and set up studio for scrips writer, select scrip and cast actors for the part, if actors' skills match what the scrip is require, you will earn more money or even earn some awards after the film is done, but tutorial isn't all that clear, some features was not mention. One hour free trial went by faster than I think and I only reached level 2, high re-play value and definitely need to know some "tips and Tricks" for this game if anyone want to pass a level faster, player needs to earns ten awards in order to pass a level. Hope you enjoy this game as much as I do. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate
