Silver Screen Story 4+

Ever since I played Game Dev Story on my iPhone 3Gs way back in the day, I’ve been hooked on Kairosoft games. Also since that day, I’ve been saying that their game format would be great for a movie-production game. I’m glad to finally have it, and it’s everything I would’ve wanted in the game and more. One of the best Kairosoft games to come out in years. Would definitely recommend!

I’ve played most of the paid Kairosoft games and this one is not bad, but probably one of my least favorites. The game mechanic is extremely similar to Gamd Dev Story. There’s a lot of side scrolling, since it’s not isometric. It was a lot easier than any of their other games I’ve played. Kairo games always have a lot of pop up notifications in-game, but this one has to be the worst. It does get almost unplayable late game, as another reviewer said. Either way it’s still fun because I love Kairosoft. I would recommend playing this only after you’ve played their other games like Pocket Academy 3, Dungeon Village 2 and Game Dev Story.

So here is thing thing, I have bought and played just about every single Kairosoft game (most to completion). This one is another good game, but it is not their best. Where in most, you are watching the simulation and waiting for new game+ so that you get your bonuses and can make the game go faster... this one is the opposite. There are so many pop ups and things going on that by the time you scroll from one end of your movie studio it warps you back to the other for something. It makes it really hard to get into the mechanics of the game. Some of the UI and controls are a bit obscure and clunky. So overall, it is good, but not the same and not the best.
