The Movies 2005

Is it still worth playing?

You run a Hollywood film studio, in this business simulation from Lionhead Studios, led by the executive designer Peter Molyneux, released in 2005. You design the studio itself and manage the careers of film stars, starting in the 1930s and continuing into the future. You can create your own movies with in game assets and export them, and at one time you could upload them to the game's website. The soundtrack was composed by Daniel Pemberton. It was released in November 2005, and an expansion, Stunts and Effects, came in 2006. Actors and directors build experience in five genres, and a happiness bar decides how well they perform. Making films with your own stars still gives a management game a creative side.
