Beautiful style. Makes you really feel as though you're a movie mogul in the golden age of Hollywood. A fascinating take on tycoon games, with a mix of text-based narratives, choices matter, and also some sandboxing.
I'm really enjoying it - far more than the previous title. I agree with others that there are frustrating points, most notably the lack of ability to organise your character positions (combat might be nicer with a semi-simultaneous turn based nature rather than just having the entire team move and act in a turn). I turned down difficulty from the default insane level to medium and am still finding it challenging, mainly due to the limitations in combat. Now, I'm hoping that the devs patch this to improve it in some way, as it is my only gripe so far. Everything else is my cup of tea and I'd definitely recommend it. Story is great so far, atmosphere rich. I have had no problem with the writing or characters either. Were it not for other commitments, I could have seen my weekend disappearing into this.
