Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The movies by Lionhead Studios, was a better then average game.The game allows you to take the role of a Movie Studio manager to build and operate a Movie Studio.The game also allows you to make movies and this feature could almost be considered an additional game in its own right.The original game had a few flaws.One of the most serious was a lack of employees.There is an un-official patch witch corrects this but the patch can seriously bog down a slower computer.On my computer (Pentium 4, 3.20 Ghz.) the game is literally un-playable after a few hours with the patch in operation.The reason is that the patch simply provides an unending stream of employees which is too much for the computer to handle.Other problems with the game were minor.The lot is too small to build all that a player probably wants but a player can tear down buildings they don't use as often to build other ones. It is a bit "simmish", by that I mean the player is expected to provide a slew of comforts to the NPCs in the game and address their "needs".
The original game had most of the best features of a tycoon style game with the added feature of making movies you can view and share online.My complaint with the expansion, Stunts and Effects, is that it really added very little to the game.You now have stuntmen and your actors can perform their own stunts as well.You also have more effects you can add to your movies.So the movie making side of the game has been improved a little.The problem with employees has not been corrected.The studio lot has not been expanded so you will not have room for every building you may want and the expansion gives more buildings to try to place into the relatively small lot.A larger lot would have been better.If this has been an optional download then I would have nothing negative to say about it but I am disappointed in Lionhead for making this an expansion.For those who use this game to make movies and are not overly concerned about the building and managing side of the game, this may be a worthwhile purchase.For those who want to play a tycoon style game, this expansion adds very little for the cost.My opinion is that Lionhead should address some of the flaws of the game before they go about adding expansions.The studio lot is too small and the employees' problem should be fixed.A good expansion fixes any problems that patches missed and adds at least 50% more features and game playing time to a game.You're not quite purchasing a new game but you expect to add substantially to your old one.This expansion adds a little but misses the mark to justify its price.
