A little easy, but...

"For people who play a lot of business sims, The Movies comparatively low difficulty level may seem off-putting. I understand that the sandbox mode is this game's true bread and butter, but the possibility of multiple diffuclty settings for the game mode itself would've been a really nice touch. Unless you're really sloppy it's almost impossible to not end up the top studio in the game by the end of World War 2. ..." Read Full Review »

When the Movies Installer reaches "0 files left to install," it stays there forever. Update: Feral says that once the installer indicates it is ..." Read Full Review »

★★★★☆

"It's all I've every wanted to do, make my own little movies, and this game provides me with a good foundation for that. It's like Sims, but a much cooler idea, at least in my opinion. I don't use the mogul bits of the game, so my review might not be suitable to help everyone who reads it. I go strai …"  Read Full Review »
