You're in the Movies - Xbox 360

Very fun game, but my siblings and I are almost done with all the scripts! Why haven't this game came out with a part two and a more update version for the Kinect yet?! The only problem is the camera (which is not apart of it, you have to buy it separately) required for the game is very low quality, and due to the room lighting and background, it will not cut you out perfectly. What my siblings and I usually do is we hang a white bed sheet behind us and add more lighting to fix that (it actually makes us feel like we're really in a movie set, haha), but the cropping and quality is still not as perfect as what is shown in the video. However, if you don't really care about the yourself turning out perfectly in the videos and just want to have some family fun, this is definitely the game to get. After each video, we all go laughing, because it's so funny to see us "acting" as a character in the short film.

As mentioned, the camera is a very good 640x480 camera. Some large background white areas may bloom but the picture is otherwise very well balanced. Unlike the EyeToy, the camera does not contain a microphone. The Live Vision Camera package that people are saying is more expensive contains a headset (originally, perhaps still, an XBOX headset with an adaptor).  Xbox 360 Live Vision Camera  *** So this is not necessarily a bargain way of getting the camera. ***The "green screen" effect is done by shooting a picture of the actor-less background. The actor must not look like the background. This is normally a very effective method (see YouTube). ... as long as you don't use daylight; any shift in the sun or the sky will make the background appear changed, but without the expected result (is the software is thinking too hard?). So it works best at night with fixed lighting on the background (with separate light on the actor). (NOTE: movies need a real green screen because the cameras move and the monochrome green key isn't affected by light reflections. Shadows must be avoided in this game.) I repeat, optimal usage is only possible in a room completely cut off from *any* sun light (Even light from a blue sky changes.). Make a movie to feel the pleasure before you bother trying to fix things. (Be prepared to wait 5-10 minutes for it to store a modest movie (optional); the new video encoding saves significant disk space).This game has great potential and as the only one available for XBox 360, it is the most fun. It's pitiful designed compared to the lamest PS2 EyeToy game I've every played. Nevertheless, I feel a fairly big gleeful rush seeing myself in the movie and feel I come across better than in real video.Because of the project that it is to set up the background, it's best as a group effort. I believe a youngster will have more energy to set things up by themselves (most adults won't have a room where they'd leave the necessary lighting set up all the time.3 stars for the unique, if crazy-making, game (The disc spins loudly non-stop in my new cool and quiet Elite; This game feels like it was abandoned after the first draft.).5 stars for the microphone-less camera (which is very small, and much easier to focus than my 2 different EyeToys. The EyeToy microphone is essential to me during normal webcam chat. Gamers always wear a headset while chatting to distinguish themselves from game sounds, perhaps not an issue with UNO).

BAH, I wanted the cam.. Now I have 2 copies of a crap game and my old broken vision cam.. I should have known better but look at that photo! Does it not look like camera is in front of the game.. Why did they have to use an actual size photo on the cover.. stupid me!

We had some issues at first with getting the camera to work well, but we soon found out that if we hung a plain white sheet in the background then it worked like a charm. When you have a busy background like lots of pictures or windows, then the camera just doesn't do well. Once we figured that out then we had a lot of fun. The mini games that are used to capture your actions are pretty funny and it is just a plain hoot to watch everyone acting these things out. Once you all complete mini games, you play with up to four people by the way, then they take that footage and put everyone into a trailer for different movies. Everyone plays different characters and it is quite humorous to see where you end up. The game does have some flaws with the wacky camera, but for the price Amazon is selling it for, it is worth it. Especially if you have kids or have couples over that aren't afraid to act silly. Our three year old is too young to really play it with us, but the menu screen is just a live feed from the camera so she stands in front of it and just dances and has a ball. I wouldn't recommend this game at $[...], but for less than $[...]....it's a definite buy. Heck, the camera itself is worth more than that!

Not exactly an outright deceptive description but misleading. Does the description expressly include a camera, no but it is implied by the fact that the photo is of the pack that does include the camera and every other seller on amazon goes out of their way to specify that it is just the game. Also previous customers who purchased with this seller obviously got the pack with the camera included so don't rely on those reviews ( my mistake). If you want just the game you'll be happy.The game itself was fine and shipping was prompt but bottom line........I feel kinda duped and dissatisfied.

First Xbox 360 game I fell in love with and my heart was broken when our old Xbox took a big ole scratch out of it but we were super happy when we were able to get it here and quick. Even after kennects came out, this one is still one of our favorites!!!!

I ordered this for my brother and his family. They play a bunch of the Xbox 360 family games with the 2 kids. Best things about the product is that it was very easy to setup. Good training video. Several 30+ Movies to make. You play the mini games and then it puts you in a trailer for a fake movie. The only thing I didn't like is that we could never get the lighting quite right, which means occasionally half of our face or body would disappear when recording or playing back the movie. I'm sure a good green screen and lighting would help. But overall, very fun.

i bought this because it the reviews said it came with a vision camera. guess what? no cammera only the game. $20 down the drain.

Perfect in box got it before estimated date as I requested

Love the game
