I have Hollywood Mogul 3, the Movies and now this one Hollywood Pictures 2, If this is a new and improved version of the "cult classic" I'm glad I missed the first version. Here are a few of the probems..... crash crash crash fatal memory error etc... The manual that ships with the game is in English but all of the screen shots in the manual are in German so unless you read German you'll need to improvise. Also, this game has a huge learning curve that frustrates the heck out of ya if you can get far enough into it before it crashes you may produce your first movie that doesn't make enough money for you to make another movie. I'm sure there are tricks and such to help streamline the process but I lost interest in this game quickly. LOL easily one of the worst of the 300+ games I own but what the heck it cost less than $10 and I was entertained for 3 hours... but that included downloading time and installation too so really maybe an hour was invested before it lost my interest. Read what Joao Rosa wrote and I can attest that every word she said was true. I thought she was just ticked off and that the game couldn't really suck that bad well er uhmmm she was right.

Folks don’t bother wasting $19.99 + Aggravation. The game freezes up a lot, if you don]t die from boredom and manage to at least pinch yourself through your 1st Movie release an annoying box office chart screen keeps popping up as you are trying to do your biz. I would not recommend it to my worst enemy. This is a Ham Award Winning Game Box Flop don’t let it work in your town again! Keep shopping and happy gaming. If you enjoy the theme try the following Games: • THE MOVIES • MOVIE MOGUL
