Pros
* As opposed to what it truly copies, Hollywood Mogul, it's definitely mod-able and customizable. * In-Game Achievements * "In-Game" Editor * Prompt and entertaining in game events occur and effect your box office results, etc..
Cons
* Crashes: You do not have an auto-save feature, so when it crashes, you're done. Crashes are not inevitable but you are not subject to losing your whole game. * Slim Database: You use the characters with the game, and you have the option to use the in game editor, but the game is very sleek in the Actors/Directors/Producers dept. * Editor: Not quite in game as the developer manages to advertise. It is in your game's file directory, and you have really limited things you can do. Editing funds is what I would have found useful. But really the only thing you are able to edit is purely cosmetic. * Cheats: Are not listed anywhere and you must search the web for the most uncommon of movie quotes to really see any of the cheats work. * Impossible Updates: Updates are an issue, they never come. So do not expect a 1.1.2 anytime soon. Patches have never worked, you always need to re-install and your saves will never work on future updates. Including everything you've edited.
Summary
The game is complex under the hood yet easy to understand. It's a nice addition to Orisis-Myrtilus' collection and it's the first release in a few years. You are able to see your films the way you want to see them and as opposed to Hollywood Mogul while that respective developer cannot manage to raise a kickstarter to release a sequel, this indie game suffices with quirky in game events and easy to understand elements of the game.
