Hollywood Mogul

The cinema industry has exploded in the last few decades, with plenty of titles breaking the one hundred million mark at the box office. Some of them even exceeded a budget of $100m, which is saying something, considering the amount of money movies used to cost when they first started to become popular and gather a decent crowd around them.

Hollywood Mogul 3 is a tycoon game in which you get to play the role of a big-time billionaire who wants to turn his stack of cash into a mountain, by financing successful movies and managing every aspect of their production. Thus, you have control over everything starting from the theme, actors, writers and even the screenplay, although control in this case means that you are allowed to choose who writes the scenes, since you are obviously not allowed to do it yourself.

As you may have gathered, the point of the game is for you to invest a certain amount of money in a picture and try to obtain a sizable profit out of it, by targeting a specific audience. Naturally, this means that you really have to be in tune with what the market wants and how to provide it to them, otherwise your movies risk being just disastrous flops that do not even manage to pay for themselves at the box office.

Since there are many things you must manage in order to stay on top of things, the game provides you with the option to hire professional help and take their advice when it comes to your next production. Just like writers or actors, they need to be paid as well, although they do come in pretty handy most of the time, since there are countless things that you need to tend to in order to assure the success of your projects.

Another interesting part is the fact that the costs are pretty much similar to the real ones, which means that a good science-fiction movie would require around seventy million dollars in order to be considered successful. Thankfully, you start off with a billion dollars, which should give you enough wiggle room to make it through the first production, although it is not exactly guaranteed that they will last you too much after that, especially if you fail.

In the end, Hollywood Mogul 3 has all the right elements required to keep you happy and occupied for quite the long period of time. The replayability factor is also quite high, especially since there are so many different movies you can finance and a lot of other changes you can make along the way in order to influence the success of your projects.
