Every little decision does affect you later on the game. Definite buy. ### 4/5 — It's Good *2015-06-24, version 1.0.1* But, sometimes it flips out and I have to start over. ### 5/5 — Love love love! *2015-06-17, version 1.0.1* This is by far one of my favorite Choice of Games adventures. It's challenging and engaging. Totally worth the money because there are so many paths you can take. ### 4/5 — Good. *2015-05-14* Not my favorite CoG, but it is pretty enjoyable. The story is smooth and consistent, and though some plot lines are set in stone, unlike some others, I felt like my decisions really were effecting the story. I'd easily recommend it to anyone a fan of CoGs. ### 4/5 — Good but not amazing *2015-05-10* It's a good 2 to 3 hour game. There were a few parts where I lost interest but it definitely has replay ability to see the different types of endings for movies. A nice read overall. ### 5/5 — If you're still debating, just buy it! *2015-05-09* This is one of the best CoG games I've played so far. It has exactly what I look for in a great CoG game; including a fantastic story, engaging characters, and (possibly most importantly) REPLAYABILITY! Definitely worth the money ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2015-05-08* This, along with Slammed! and Hero's Rise is in my top three favourites. I've gotten two different endings so far and each has been amazing. I'm absolutely in love with this game and I'm eager for a sequel or some other game by this writer. Thank you, and guten tag. ### 5/5 — Sad it's over! *2015-05-08, version 1.0.0* I loved this CoG a whole lot. Love getting into the storyline and growing to like and dislike certain characters. WORTH YOUR TIME!!! :) ### 5/5 — Wonderful! *2015-05-06* Definitely fun! Replay value is great! I can't seem to romance the assistant though? Dunno if it just starts later than the other ones do.... Either way, love the game!! One of the best CoG's! ### 5/5 — GLAMOROUS!!! *2015-05-06, version 1.0.0* This game is so immersive, I am transported back to 1950s Hollywood every time I play through it! ...which has been many times. I wholeheartedly recommend! ### 4/5 — Pretty Much Fantastic *2015-05-04* I played this game through and I absolutely fell in love with the characters and the story time but I played through a second time and I just felt it was a bit... Stale. It keeps the general outline even if you choose to make a completely different movie so it's all mostly repeated. But it was still pretty enjoyable. ### 5/5 — A true beauty of a game *2015-05-03, version 1.0.0* I absolutely loved this game, from start to finish. It has a few spelling errors, but I'm willing to overlook them. Worth every penny. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Good Game but fatal glitch *2015-05-13, version 1.0.0* It doesn't matter how good the game is if I can't finish it. It freezes just as you click the scene marker before shooting the first scene. Fix this and it might be a 4 - 5 star game. ### 2/5 — Crashing *2021-10-23* App keeps randomly crashing over and over again. A really good app that got ruined by bugs 👎🏾 ### 2/5 — Dissapointed *2019-05-04* To begin with I was super excited to play this so I downloaded it and when it loaded up it was AWESOME the options were creative and fun but it all went down hill when I had to start worrying about relationships which really weren't that important to me but it seemed like that was all the game cared about also why the heck is this game so obsessed with communism it would of made a good side plot but come on this isn't why I bought the game plus when my movie won the oscar I didn't get to see the aftermath of basically anything which just left me saying is this it? ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2016-05-21* Hollywood Visionary looks really good at the beginning. All the options for customizing your protagonist are great, and the tensions of making a great movie vs. having a personal life vs. getting enough leisure time so as not to become a stressed-out wreck of a person are very compelling. You make so many decisions throughout the game, you think you're in control of your destiny and your choices matter. They do not. The quality of your movie is but an afterthought towards the end of the game; the game stops being about Hollywood and movies and becomes about a congressional witch hunt for Communists. I wish I was kidding; I'm as opposed to Communism as a person can be, and yet the game turns into this awful, boring, unfair trial to determine whether you're a Communist or not, and ultimately you're presented with the choice of either sacrificing an innocent acquaintance of yours to this witch hunt, or sacrificing yourself. The ending is terrible and mostly nothing you do during the fun parts of the game matters. Looks great at the start, but then drops the ball, trips on it and breaks its neck. Very disappointing. ### 2/5 — Don't buy *2015-12-06* Not worth the money ### 3/5 — Good story but not much choices *2015-05-15, version 1.0.0* As always I was one of the first to jump on this one as it was released, the story is good but the choices do not have as great of an impact as one May hope. Overall worth the money. ### 3/5 — Coming from a big fan of COG *2015-05-06* Out of all the books so far I feel like this one was ok. I feel like the choices could've been better. Plus I didn't like the stress meter. I felt like it was pointless. But over all the story is great. So I give it a 3 out of 5. ### 3/5 — Not bad *2015-05-03, version 1.0.0* There really weren't too many directions to go with this one ### 3/5 — Freezes *2015-05-03, version 1.0.0* The game freezes at the decision of who's going to write the script and it goes blank and forces me to restart to a new game. ### 4/5 — Really enjoyable, if a little short *2016-03-07* Really well written, great story, the only negative for me is that it didn't last longer. I would have liked the chance to experience more of it, but what little is there is fantastic! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best writing on the App Store *2024-01-23* I’ve loved the vampire games these guys made and decided to take a stab at one of their originals. As someone who hopes to make it playing this game was a deeply emotional experience. Please for the love of anything support these guys and play this beautiful game. ### 5/5 — I’m not crying, you’re crying *2022-05-06* Played this game for a laugh, it took me and my boyfriend a month to finish it. We spent beautiful evenings together reading out loud and making decisions in the game. Maybe it’s because we’re both in the film industry, but by the end we were in tears. Can’t wait to play again. ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2022-01-19* This game is overall very well thought out. I enjoyed every second and it’s a splendid time killer! I really can’t think of anything negative to say about it. :) ### 5/5 — Incredible *2018-06-29* One of my absolute favorites. I know I’ve replayed this more than any other Choice of Game game! ### 5/5 — One of my Favorites *2017-06-26* I've bought and played almost all of the games available from Choice of Games, but this has to be one of my absolute favorites. I love the vintage feel of Hollywood that the story takes place in. The characters are memorable and the storyline flows well. I only regret that there's so few endings; either you leave town or have your work recognized much later on. With the way those endings play out I believe that a sequel would add much more to the storyline. ### 5/5 — Compelling concept and excellent variety of choices! *2016-08-28, version 1.0.0* Very enjoyable interactive story. ### 5/5 — One of the best *2016-05-09* This is one of my favorite stories in the CoG universe. It's not the longest one, but it's definitely long enough to allow multiple replays with completely different pathways. It's not perfect and I still haven't been able to figure out how to complete a couple achievements despite trying every option. But it's definitely up there with Choice of Romance as one of the top CoG offerings to date. ### 5/5 — Awesome endings *2015-12-14* Did not get the "best" ending the first time around, but it felt exactly right for the story I had been making. Really easy to identify with the lead character. I probably played this one three or four times altogether. ### 5/5 — Complex *2015-07-13, version 1.0.2* Good mix of interactive and fixed plot elements. Choices always seem to have faceted consequences which is great. :) price is higher than a few of the other games but it's worth it ### 5/5 — Quality game *2015-07-05* This game is somewhat stressful to play, almost every choice made gives the sense of possible failure just around the corner, which the game used to its benefit. The game is a little buggy but overall solid. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
