While there are indeed MANY improvements to the film making mechanics due to the inclusion of new sets, buildings, props, and of course stunts, they only add to the game. While they can enhance a movie, they cannot re-define a movie – after all, there is no need to have stunts to make a 5 star movie, and there is no actual benefit in the box office or the charts for using them. What I’m trying to say is that rather than re-define, or at least augment the gameplay mechanic, Lion head has given players something which seems like a tacked on aside. Now, don’t get me wrong – if you loved the original (and still play it!) then hell, get yourself this expansion pronto.
