Yoostar 2: In The Movies - Playstation 3
C**.
Great premise, held back by technology.
I love the idea of inserting yourself into your favorite movie scenes.It only really pays off if you are inserted seamlessly. This game has a really hard time of doing that if you have stuff in your living room(or wherever you are playing). I had terrible results until I hung a plain(pattern free) blanket as the background. After that, it worked pretty good, but not perfect.With this limitation, it it would not make a good party game. Its more of a fun time by yourself or one friend(there are two person scenes).You can upload your scenes to the ps3 community, facebook and twitter. This is a nice touch.Most of the scenes that are offered are classics(blues brothers, blazing saddles, forest gump, terminator, kindergarten cop, ferris beuller, Rocky, just to name a few), others feel misplaced or are the wrong scenes from otherwise great movies or TV(tropic thunder, CSI: Miami, Shaun of the Dead). Another 20 or so of the 80 advertised are things like a beach scene, or mountains background with no lines to say, just ad libbing. I guess these would be cool for improv stuff.What I have played, I have really enjoyed. The scenes that you mess up are even funnier than the good ones.It was just frustrating out of the box I had a hard time playing the game with good results, but it can be done with some trial and error.

Cheap fun
Got this for a great price, was a Christmas gift for my son per his request and thought, oh no, at 3 dollars this game is sure to stink. I cannot tell you how much fun we had with the game. Especially on the add lib part. We just did our own thing with it and had a blast. There are many titles and a ton of scenes. The play back is a little goofy as it speeds up in some areas if you are off on your queues. But the goofing off and chuckles we had were worth it. You do need the Move Camera for this game, not the controller. Shipped on time and was well packaged.

I got this game because I thought it would be really fun to add myself into different movies. The selection of movies is pretty decent and they add more to purchase at the PSN Store. The only reason I can think of that the selection isn't outstanding is because of licensing and some more popular movies might be too expensive to justify adding scenes. That's unfortunate.The way you add yourself into the movie is to light the room and step out of the way of the camera so it can take a picture of the backround and then anything added into the scene after that becomes part of the movie. Some people complained about lighting but in my personal experience I've had no trouble getting the proper amount. I just turn on the ceiling light and I even keep the blinds closed. The image is pretty good considering you're not using a green screen.The best part about this game though is playing with a few other people and making up your own dialogue. The amount of "inside jokes" I now have with my siblings is incredible. We play it for a few hours, 2 to 3 times a week and it's really given us something to bond over. It's also really fun to use the "social" part of the game and see other people's scenes. Again, I really enjoy seeing the new twists people brings to the game.Overall this is a really fun and creative game. If someone is looking to get something that makes it look like they are 100% part of the movie and something really professional, this isn't for you. If you want that, be in a real movie. If you're looking for a fun thing to do with family or friends this is absolutely worth buying.

I love this game
I love this game... Shame the servers went down. So don't plan on uploading videos, or viewing community videos. But it's still fun at parties.
