Hollywood Tycoon Description

Your uncle Irving has died and left you his movie studio! The catch? It's failing terribly. You'll need to use all of your tycoon business skills to bring Tinseltown Studio back to its former glory, or else it's bankruptcy for old uncle Irving's legacy. As the new head of the studio in this tycoon-style game, you'll be in charge of everything from scripts to sets. You'll start off building cheap, poor buildings full of shoddy workers and then build expansions to improve their quality as the game goes on. The object of the game is to make films by matching actors to scripts and rolling tape in the hopes of striking box office gold. You'll earn more money by matching the right kinds of actors to the right kinds of scripts, which is where the bulk of the gameplay in Hollywood Tycoon truly lies. Every script and actor has a score in each of four categories; drama, romance, comedy and action. If your script has 4 stars in comedy and romance, but only one in action and two in drama, you'll want to find an actor with strong comedy and romance scores. Stick the right types of actors in the right types of films (ie match categories) and increase the overall quality of the film, raising profits. There's also a gambling element to Hollywood Tycoon that will help keep you on your toes once you get used to the busy business of film production. Each completed film will provide you with the opportunity to check the reviews it's received. If you choose to do this you'll activate a slot machine mini-game that gives thumbs up and thumbs down. Earn more thumbs up than down and you'll get a bonus. Get more down than up and you'll lose money. It's risky, but the right click can turn a financially terrible production into a veritable gold mine (and vice versa) should lady luck smile on you.

Hollywood Tycoon Reviews

Pros: Deep single-player tycoon experience is a first for Facebook. Lots to do with a well-paced increase in speed and challenge.

Cons: Barely any social aspects. Virtual goods put a glass ceiling on the gameplay. Actor/script selection could use work.

Hollywood Tycoon Tips

Making a movie has been whittled down to a very simple process of building a themed set, choosing a script, selecting an actor and clicking on the "start" button. Which genre of set you build is up to you, with choices ranging from western to sci-fi, horror to historical settings...
