This expansion pack is not made for the Tycoon players but rather to the movie makers. It gives an incredible array of tools for those of us you likes to make movies. Free movement camera was a must but I cannot stop thinking that this feature should have been in the game in the first place.
The blue screen and green screen are great and gives great flexibility to create anything you like. New sets are great and in a reasonnable numbers but were still missing important history era like medieval and roman age. I'm really disapointed by the small number of costume added in this expansion pack.
But this expansion pack doesn't add a lot in term of game. Managing stuntmen is great but it is the only addition to the gameplay along with a only one new award. So playing the expansion pack feels like replaying the game again.
In short, Stunt and Effect raise the Movie from the game status to the full blown movie making software. Since The Movie seems to attract that kind of gamer, Lionhead should ease the modding of this software.
