Way too hard to be fun...

I have a huge interest in movies, so naturally I couldn't wait to get this game. The demo isn't a bad start to figure out if you'll like the game...but once you start playing the full version... Well, things change. This game could have been spetacular. Really. But, it's not. Im not gotta beat around the bush, I'm a decent gamer, especially when it comes to Simulation games. But, this is far too hard. There's way too much going on at one time, actors who are nearly impossible to keep happy, workers that never gain experience (Which is required), new building and sets you constantly need (as you run out of money), A HUGE lot which you cannot hire enough employee's to take care of, thus lowering your score and rating, a short list of employee's in general, you forever need to update actors trailers, screenwriters that take nearly the entire gameplay to gain proficient experience... the list goes on. Also the movies you make yourself have a poor tutorial causing you to make endless mistake. There are also tons of costumes in the game...but....your actors won't wear them! If you put them on they become unhappy (suprise Suprise) not to mention the addictions that reappear as quickly as you take care of them.
This game goes beyond a challange. It seems as though the creater's spent too much time on making things authentic and looking good instead of worrying about how smooth the actual gameplay is. And don't think you're gonna be getting any cheats to help...there aren't any. It does provide a few hours of fun but after the first couple days...you'll see no reason to continue. It's hopeless.

Its said how this master piece is not well known...

value:9(superb)
tilt:9(superb)
overall:9.0(superb)
Its sad how this game isnt well known,becuase I know that a lot of people would of like a game where you run a studio make movies and etc... If you are a fan of the sims or tycoons this should be in your good list because over all the sim/tycoon games I games i played, the only game that can stand up to this one is the sims/sims 2 which to me its overall is 9.6(5 stars,very close to perfect which is 10).In the begining you get 2 starter movies then you hire scrip writers to make movies until you get the wanna be cheese something like that challenge conpleted then you can start making your own movies or if you want more micromangment you can continue letting the scrip writers make them.There are over hundreds of scenes,attitude of the chareters,clothing they wear,backdrops and etc...This game has a lot to offer and is very time consuming.If you are a sim fan here is your fun,you hire ators/actresses,and director (and extra but they arnt as inportant as a star) and get then to win awards, build releationships,keep then in good moods,give them makeovers,cosmetic surgry and etc..The graphics on this game are cutting edge,the game offers good soundtracks, sometimes the the radio station is very funning like for example the guy said my wife told me yesterday what about you get a real job,*he laughs* she doesnt cook clean she doesnt do anything all she does is eat candy and talk on the phone with her fat sisters,and if i say the last word this review wouldnt go through but anyways this game is cutting edge and only that one sim/tycoon can stand up to it.Overall this is recomanded to anyone who enjoys the sims or game like mall tycoon 2 or city life and etc...

Oh my god, this is the best game ever. The bad thing is you need lots of add-ons like paint, mp3converters, and other programs to enhance your movies. Get the expansion pack too, it really adds on great scenes and sets. Overall, this is a great game, So buy It!!!!!!!

this game stinks

I'm a sims fan and the people in this game don't come close to the sims. It takes to long to get to reach the modern day movies and the movies that they make are lame. They advertise you can make your own movie but only if you use their scenes that are already made up. It wasn't at all like it was advertised to be.

It Doesn't Work

If you have a new computer, don't bother, it won't run. Unless you have a computer like back in 2004.

Can you make the sims talk? I have considered buying the game but just finished a tutorial online where the only dialogue consisted of cartoonish "dialogue boxes" and whatever you typed. Is there any way to make the people actually SAY the dialogue?

it freezes alot
