 Addictive....... May 19, 2005
10 out of 12 found this review helpful
Playboy The Mansion is a very good strategy game. Getting good content for your magazines proves to be a very deep and envolving task. Forget about the sexual content after about 30 minutes the topless women become secondary, and Yes there is sex but its with underwear on and its not sexy at all, its actually funny the first few times but also gets old. The unlockables are forgettable, who wants to see 1964 playmates, Damn where women ugly back then, look and you'll see at least compared to the couple of modern playmates you can unlock. however i found it fun to pump out issues trying to max out the market to get maximum exposure. The graphics are ok but you would have figured a game which focuses on hot women would have made them in a clearer and more pronounced way. The music once you buy a stereo or a dj station is good, you actually chose a type and it sounds really good. I was impresssed overall by this game and would reccommend it to adults only, and strategy game fans. i enjoyed this Sims type game.

My husband rented this game to tick me off one weekend. I played more than he did!! I can't explain why or how! If you like the SIMS you will love Playboy. . . don't ask why just buy!
an addictiveness i can't quite explain March 31, 2005

After playing for about an hour the game already seemed repetitious and i figured it would be a dusk colletor soon.But for some strange reason this game keeps me coming back for more,its not about the nudty in it cause that gets old quick and the graphics on the girls isn't even that great.I think its just addicting for me cause its a simplified sims game.See i was a sims fan but grew tired of having to feed my sim and sleep and then clean all the messes left on the floor.For me the sims was a little too much in detail to the point it got annoying.In this game you can control lives and run a business but you don't have to bother with that picking up litter all over the house and such.The game is monotonous like the sims but at least it left out the more annoying aspects of the sims games.This game does have some issues though,i find many times my player gets stuck and stops being able to respond to commands so i have to save the game often and when that happens i have to reload game from last save point.Also sometimes when you try to execute certain interactions with other people,the other people around yu can get in the way and if it takes to long for you to get into position to execute the action you attempted your sim gives up and forgets what it was setting out to do.I like to own games in every type of genre and since theres not much for home consoles in the adult games genre,this one isn't too bad as an only choice.its not as in depth as the sims but for the more casual gamer that doesn't want to have to deal with all the stuff the Sims games require this one may be more to your liking.Its one of those games that you will either be addicted to or hate it.I have always been into the oddball games like simcity,romance of three kingdoms,etc.The kind of games that the mainstream gamers don't bother with so maybe most people won't agree with me on this game or feel the same addictiveness i felt.I would have to say give it a rent and play the mission based game.For most people i think a rental will be enough for them just to check it out.
You'll either love it or hate it. Kudos to the soundtrack! March 8, 2005

Okay, let me start by saying that this is one of the most redundant, repetetive, slow-moving, and pointless games I have ever played in my entire life (and I used to play NES's Wall Street Kid!). Let me now say that this is also the most eerily addictive game I have ever played in my entire life.
Basically this game is a simplified twist on The Sims. You guide Hef around the Mansion in a screen setup that is almost identical to that of The Sims. You interact with people in your choice of "Causual", "Professional", or if it's a female "romantic" conversations, getting them to like you more in each category in order to get good content for your next issue of Playboy. You get staff members: Journalists for articles and interviews; photographers for centerfolds, cover shoots, and pictorials; Playmates to pose for centerfolds and later maybe do cover shoots, essays, and interviews if their interesting enough; and Bunnies, who basically just walk around in Bunny Outfits taking to people.
The further into the game you get, the higher the quality of staff and celebrities you can work with, thus the higher the quality of your subsequent issues.
Yes, there is nudity (T and A). Yes there is sex (but they keep their undies on and it's all kinda goofy). That's not what drives me on this game though. You really have to get good at multi-tasking in order to put out good issues. You throw parties at which you are expected to keep everybody happy while also schoozing with guests long enough to talk them into an interview, essay, or cover shoot.
Sounds kinda boring. It is. But like I said, despite how redundant this game is, I can't stop playing it.
In addition to the game, however, I would also like to ackowledge the soundtrack. You get several "stations" to choose from, each featuring a different genre. There's hip-hop (no thanks) Jazz (not bad) a few other interesting little choices, but the Rock one... whoa! I am a big fan of old-school rock. The amount of absolutely crappy new rock bands has made me give up on new rock radio altogether. Now I know why! There is some really great rock music on this game! All real bands (not just some commercial-playing group that did songs just for the game). Thanks to this game I have been introduced to about seven new rock bands that don't suck. Start Trouble, All-American Rejects, Silvertide, Tony C & The Truth, The Rosenbergs. All really good new Real rock music! Thanks to the designers of this game for finding a neat way to introduce people to these groups. Too bad I never get to hear any of them on the radio (Godsmack, Korn, Linkin Park...EEEeeeeewwwwww!)
BECOME A VIRTUAL HEF WITH THIS FUN PLAYBOY SIM!!! February 28, 2005

This is a fun game for people with an open mind and a sense of humor ( and it's NOT for kids ). It is essentially, THE SIMS with copious amounts of sex and nudity.
You play as a vitual Hugh Hefner. You must publish your magazine, hire writers, photographers. Do photo shoots for the cover and centerfold. Host wild parties. Buy stuff for your mansion like artwork, beds, chairs, video game machines ( you can play a pac-man like game ), pinball machines, stereos, tv's, etc. You also earn points for shooting good centerfolds and covers, etc, which can be used to buy real centerfolds and covers from PLAYBOY in the extra's menu. Need I say some of these photos are HOT? WOWWW!!!!
As I said, there is a great deal of sex ( in the bed, on the couch, in the shower, on the pinball machine )and nudity ( in the photo shoots and at the wild parties), so be warned. The game is rated M for MATURE players, 17 or older.
I have been having a great deal of fun with this game. Perhaps a bit too much fun, but.... it is something different from the usual video games which feature so much violence, which I find more distasteful than some sex and nudity. And some of the animation is quite funny at times, such as when your virtual self has sex with a woman on top of the pinball machine!
You have to go through various missions to un-lock certain items and new areas in the mansion. These missions can get a bit tedious and repetitive at times, but I find myself still playing it, trying to get to the end. Various famous people make guest appearences in the game from time to time: like baseball star and best-selling author, Jose Canseco; Tom Arnold; Carmen Electra, etc.
All in all, a fun game for those with an open mind looking for something different.
