"Hollywood Monsters, also known as The Next Big Thing on the PC, is made by Pendulo Studios, the developers behind adventure game hits Runaway and Yesterday. The game is a reboot of the original Hollywood Monsters released in 1997 for the PC. Hollywood Monsters features witty writing, solid visuals, and an outstanding audio experience packaged at an unbeatable price."
STP: With some improvements to navigation and puzzle-solving as well as item collecting, Hollywood Monsters could be a formidable adventure game.
TouchGen: The gaming world has moved on from the traditional point and click adventure game. With the upswing of Telltale’s Walking Dead series, the more old-school Monkey Island style games have been branded as the problem to which The Walking Dead was the solution. Some gamers, though, still have room in their hearts for combining inventory items, and for hunting through every nook and cranny of a game’s world until each puzzle is solved and the game can progress.
Let's get the confusing series chronology out of the way first. This isn't an iOS port of Hollywood Monsters - it's actually an iOS port of the tenuous sequel Hollywood Monsters 2, which is better known as The Next Big Thing over here in the UK. Got that? Good.
I wonder why the need for two different names across mobile and PC.
This game is awesome! I have it on the iPad and its totally worth a 9.5/10 out of ten! great voice acting in the game, and really fun to play.
Nice review. Makes me want to actually try the game out for myself.
I'll definitely check it out now.
