 Okay but I got bored with it quick July 12, 2007

It's like The Sims, yet not. It didn't hold my attention like The Sims games do. Not knowing how to do certain things, not knowing which people have which skills (and from a distance, it's hard to tell who's who), not knowing who should go where and when, and them needing stuff while I'm trying to build something without knowing all the necessities for that type of building... well, it just left me want an update and more info and help.
 Stay Away from this Pathetic Game January 8, 2007

I bought this game just after Christmas. It stinks. This is not a good simulation game at all. Firstly, most computers won't be able to run this game. It installs poorly, has frequent crashes when trying to launch the game, and the customer service is non-existent.
The pathetic help menu is of no help at all, and the game offers you an opportunity, after crashing, to read the ReadMe File. Thanks...big help. Try the BiteMe File, instead.
Once the game is finally installed, you'll find it's a time-consuming bore. Micromanaging everything down to the characters' bathroom breaks is not at all fun, and you'll soon be very sorry you wasted your time, money, and enthusiasm on such a pathetic piece of software.
Keep looking for a fun, simulation business game. It's not here.
This Game Does Have Potential, But It Isn't The Best December 15, 2006

The game fun after the two weeks though you find out how limited you are. When you buy this game you want to make movies but you don't make the scenes the game does. It it hard to make a decent movie. The fun part is running the studio.
 A good simulation game, quite addictive and humorous. December 15, 2006

Hands down, the best and most innovative aspect of this game are the various radio stations that play throughout the game as the years go by. The simulation aspect isn't anything exceptional. It's fun and addictive, and not at the low-level as one of those random "tycoon" games that are spewed out, but it's not at the level of the top-of-the-line Sim games, either.
The best part of Movies is creating your own movie script and then adding dialogue. My friends and I spent more time on that feature than actually building up a movie theater. Often, movies we felt were of higher quality cinematic ally would flop in the game because we had many more scenes that were reasonable and thus the cost would increase greatly and our movie studio would be in the red. Thus, it was often better to use Sandbox mode to experiment creatively.
Overall this is a good game, but my dream game is a "Sim Theater" game where you run a theater and its operations. Sadly nothing has come to this level yet.
 LittleOracle doesnt know what hes talking about July 22, 2006

This guys review is a joke. He has not played this game enough to write a review. And yes the tutorial does explain everything, he obviously was not paying attention. Play this game foe 5 min. and you'll be addicted. I played this game for a month straight and didn't get tired of it; I mean literally played it for a month I slept like 7 hours and got right back on the computer playing. The point is, is that LittleOracle does not know what he is talking about. BUY THIS GAME!!!!!!
