Dirty Dancing is a new game for Facebook, based on the hit film, and developed by Social Game Universe. In the game you will build a resort and help your guests find love.
Okay, confession time. I have never actually watched Dirty Dancing from start to finish, so when I was asked to review Dirty Dancing for Facebook I was hesitant at first. However, after playing the game, I can safely say that you don't need to know more than the most basic plot of the movie to understand the game, a simple but fun resort management experience.
It's hard to know what to expect when playing a game based on a film like Dirty Dancing, but we certainly didn't expect this. A pixelated business management game, Dirty Dancing on Facebook feels like it was developed by Kairosoft, creator of insanely addictive mobile games like Game Dev Story and Pocket Academy. But somehow it still feels in keeping with the film. We've only spent a small amount of time with the game's closed beta and, while we haven't necessarily been having the time of our lives, we've definitely been having some fun.
Have you ever watched a movie and thought to yourself, "Hey, I could do better than that!" Now is your chance. Hollywood Tycoon is a tycoon game that puts you in the shoes of a big league movie producer, managing scripts, sets, and actors in a whirl. The plot is simple. When your uncle Irving Goldfish dies, you inherit his run-down movie studio. Can you make it a smashing success, or will your films flop?
