Product Description

Manufacturer's Descripton
Playboy: The Mansion blends state-of-the-art social simulation w ith traditional role-playing and empire-building gameplay. As Hugh Hefner, you build the Playboy mansion and magazine into a dynamic cultural icon and powerfu l brand. Rub shoulders with stunning women and stimulating celebrities as you p ursue the ultimate Playboy lifestyle. Grow famous and gain exclusive access to the Playboy archives, including footage of the world-famous Playboy mansion.

Features:

  • A fully 3D environment with a dynamic, zoomable camera. Zoom out and admire the majesty of each mansion area or zoom in and view the excitement up close.
  • Multiple Playboy estate areas, including the inside of the mansion, back la wn, pool and grotto, gym, tennis court, aviary and zoo, game house, and garage.
  • Hundreds of "celebrities," including actors, athletes, authors, business ex ecutives, comedians, fashion designers, models, musicians, politicians, racecar drivers, and scientists.
  • Empire Mode: select your own goals (fame, circulation, guests, etc) and the n work over a series of months or years to achieve them.
  • Campaign Mode: a dozen campaigns that chronicle Hugh Hefner and the Playboy mansion's rise to international fame.
  • The Playboy Philosophy: you're rewarded for living the good life, having a positive sexual attitude, and promoting tolerance and individual freedom.
Highlights:
  • Construct the Mansion: The Playboy lifestyle begins at home. Will your home be a stately manor built for entertaining or a gadget lover's paradise? As you r fame and wealth increase you'll be able to add tennis courts, game houses, av iaries, even the world-famous Grotto to your estate. Just make sure to build en ough bedrooms for your girlfriends.
  • Live the Playboy Lifestyle: What use is a stylish pad if you can't share it with hundreds of celebrity friends? Spend the afternoon poolside with a bevy o f beautiful women, and then change into your finest pajamas for an evening of d ecadent dancing with chart toppers, industry moguls, and all-star athletes. Wil l you watch a movie in the Theatre Room or the Playmates on the trampoline? Lif e can be so cruel.
  • Build Your Empire: Fame and fortune don't come easy. Manage a crack editori al staff, hustle celebrity interviews, and mold the magazine in response to a f ickle market. Are readers suddenly interested in sports? Maybe it's time to hos t a tennis tournament and schmooze Boris McEngroe. And remember, people don't j ust read Playboy for the articles. Each month you'll invite women to stay at th e Mansion, manage their Playmate training, and oversee their sexy photo-shoots.

4.0 out of 5 stars MY Playboy, 19 Jul 2005
By H. Kirton (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Ever wanted to decide what goes in Playboy? Well, here's your chance.

In this game, you get to decide who goes on the cover and the centrefold as well as which interviews and essays to use, what articles make the cut and what pictorial content to have. You get to play Hef and hire the playmates, the journalists and the photographers. You get to the parties and build the ultimate Playboy mansion.

One big element of the game is building up relationships. You can build business, friendly and, with the ladies, romantic relationships. This is a disappointingly easy thing to do once you get to grips with the game. There's no real challenge as far as relationships are concerned in this game.

However, the rest of the game is highly playable and, as those who demand my attention will confirm, highly addictive. Each piece of content is rated on a scale of one to five bunnies and getting each piece of content up to top notch standard is VERY tricky. You've got to pick the right people for the job and make sure they're all in a good mood before they get started. Objects can be cleverly placed around the mansion to alter a person's mood.

Also, even in the freeplay game, you are given goals. Complete the goals and you get a new game object. These can help alter a person's mood in your favour and can also make cool props for photo shoots (which you get to direct).

For the photo shoots, you get the chance to choose the clothes (or lack of) of your model. Unfortunately, the choice of clothes is a little limited and I've struggled to stop my outfits from become "the same". Also, unless you are prepared to update your mansion on a regular basis, the backgrounds and locations soon get dull and repetitive.

The soundtrack is pretty decent. There is a range of genres to pick the music from so every should find something to their taste. The graphics, whilst not as good as something like Sims 2, are still pretty decent.

All in all, this is a pretty good game. I would definitely recommend it to those who like a role-play style gaming format.

4.0 out of 5 stars Taste for the ladies???, 15 Mar 2005
By david (London) - See all my reviews
Ever fancied yourself as a bit of a shark with the ladies? This allows you to build your empire from scratch, begin by signing 'amateur' ladies with a tight budget to your 'playboy'lable. Give the gentlemen what they like then they decide to part cash for your mag. money in your pocket, nicer girls, bigger grotto, more stars, publicity etc. good fun for a week or so, just be careful this doesn't keep you in on a friday night...away from the real girls.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hmm, porn or a game?!, 1 Aug 2005
By Ms. S. L. Richardson "sam2501" (Sunderland, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
One of the funniest things i've ever played. The strategy of the game is good but the fact that there are so many naked women wandering about just gets on your nerves after a bit (Obviously if you're a woman, if you're a man you'll love it!!)
