   The Movies answers a question that many of us have had: What if YOU were in
charge of a movie studio? Imagine if you could make any movie you wanted, any
way you wanted. Would you create epic action films? Campy b-movies? You can make
it big in Hollywood by building the ultimate movie studio.
Choose the scripts,
control budgets, design & build sets, and settle into the director's chair
and see if you can make a hit.
Once you've created your box-office smashes, you
can even watch them -- adding your own voice-overs and saving them to your hard
drive or publishing to a Web site.

The Movies can be as hard or as easy as you want it to be. In the sandbox
mode you decide if the stars act out, how much money you get, and how often you
get help, among some other settings. Help is always there (if you want it be) to
guide you along when you first start playing. This made learning the game very
easy and the way the tips and reminders are delivered fit naturally in with the
gameplay.
The movie making aspect is incredibly detailed. I didn't play with it a lot,
but long enough to be impressed. Fans have already created excellent videos that
can be seen on "The Movies" community website. If you decide to buy "The Movies," you can count on hours of involved
gameplay. There are multiple strategies to try, movie scripts to develop, and
awards to be won. "The Movies" is one game you shouldn't miss out on
playing. Read the rest of this review...
