The managment part of the game is pretty good, if a little too micro-management for me (but I have a low tolerance for such things). But I've been getting a lot of mileage out making movies with the game.
By splicing bits and parts of various scense together you can do some pretty cool stuff. The post production tool is a little buggy though, It likes to mix up the fades you put in, which cane be annoying but isn't a show stopper. You also need to get your edits down first, before you put in text or sound (or dialogue) because when you change your edit (ie. delete a scene) the elements you've placed get out of alignment.
Anyway I've ended up making three episodes of a tongue-in-cheek sci-fi serial, centered around a character named Dr Valmet who is sorta a mix between Dr Who and Austin Powers. It's not heady, mostly just action and a little storry. You can watch them at:
