Tinseltown Dreams - The 50's
Take a seat in the director's chair with a fun new game that puts you behind the camera.
Hollywood, in the 50\'s, the age where the competition was between theater plays and more and more popular big screen movies. Hollywood was on the verge of entering its golden age. There where more and more movies coming out every day, but the people wanted blockbusters! And that\'s where you come in. You are hired as a producer in Mr. Big\'s studio, and it\'s all up to you to put all the pieces together to make that movie. For that you need a crew to help you with the set, cast that will make your movie a blast, props for the scene, cameras, lighting, special FX crew, and more... But you can\'t have everything THE BEST, there\'s a budget you must hold on to, and the only way to fill that budget is match 3 games. There are 7 movies, and every movie has 10 levels. So it\'s up to you to make the money which gets things going. In every level you have golden colored pieces which are the most expensive, one gives 100$, and to finish the level you have to collect them all, by matching in front of them. But that doesn\'t have to mean that you\'ll have enough money for a great movie. Each match 3 gives you 1$, so you better work on those combos, for more achievements, and a few bonus. Because with every combo streak you\'ll fill the \"Craze meter\". When it becomes full to the top, you just click the GO button and golden popcorn explodes all over the field. You better collect them all before they hit the ground, because one of them gives you 10$. Like I said matching more then 3 give you a couple of bonuses, like a HAMMER of a FAN, which you can gent with match 5. The Hammer breaks a single tile or a genre-specific animation, while the Fan re-scrambles a three-by-three grid, but also blows away any velvet ropes, which would normally require a couple of matches to get rid of them. There is also DYNAMITE which destroys all of one type of shape on the board, but that requires match 6. You will also find sometimes a chest and a key, when put together you can get an extra prop for your movie. At the end of each movie (or the 10 levels) you are back on your scene again and you can arrange it for the last time before the critics come and score your movie, so put things in the right place. They rate you on four categorizes, like acting, sound and effects, set design and cinematography. In each category you can get up to 5 stars, and the more you get them, the better the movie is. If you don\'t like your score you can start over and try again if you like. Besides the story which makes the game so attractive there are some fun options, like putting posters before your film comes out, or you get to name the movie when finished. Some things I didn\'t like is that your actors do not increase their experience with every movie played in it. If you have hired a less famous actor, you would expect that he gains experience with acting in a film. The staff in every movie is the same, so Namco could have made those little details better, but the game, the way that it is now, is quite amusing. I think you\'ll enjoy it.
