Hmmmm...I'll start this lonely thread off by saying that I think it's great!! Slightly frustrating when the stars turn into stress-pots and when an entourage is needed with no new employees arriving...any hints on this from anyone?!

A problem indeed...I tend to use lesser-used employees (writers, extras, etc.....) to form an entourage for my stars, but this often leads to staff shortages.

As for the game itself, it's a great Rollercoaster Tycoon-style game, but the best part is without a doubt the movie-making tools. I lean towards a giant animal-man theme with a lot of my movies...

Very original game indeed.

I just bought it! My computer isn't quite up to the task of running it perfectly... but it's very addictive and highly playable none the less! Though does anyone know why my actors and directors don't have textures on their skin and clothes? It's a little distracting having Mr. Soft from the Trebor softmints adverts of the early nineties playing every role in my films!

I'm loving the custom movie-making stuff and when my computer lets me I will uploading some of my, er, epics to the internet... be afraid.

Great game, very addictive although can get a little repetative after a while.

Can't remember who it was, but somebody attempted to make Evil Dead 2 with this game. It was so cool.

I really want to get this eventually. It just seems like one of those games that you can never get bored of.

I've brought the game, but for some reason my computer won't play it. It loads then just cuts out. I've looked at all the troubleshooting things but I still can't play it...

If you guys play the game, you should join the community, it's fun, but addictive, i now host a fortnightly radio show on the internet for a server for the movies, and other hosts are from around the globe, it's aweseome, and some of the films out are amazing, breaking the boundariues of what really is a shi**y game.
