Playboy: The Mansion

Summary: Fun at the Mansion
Review: As far as I am concerned John Smith's review totally missed the mark. He might be into lewd, crass, and thoughtless entertainment but Playboy the Mansion definitely isn't that. The graphics are quality, the management part is cool, and the photo shoot section is killer. Still learning the game but like what I've seen so far.

Summary: Could have been better
Review: If you have played any other type of sims game this one would seem a bit shallow. After a while you notice that the characters react the same way everytime a particular interaction is performed. For example; When Hef offers a gift he reaches behind himself to get it. The person whom he is interacting with always tries to look over his shoulder moving left & right as he does this. It might have been nice if the game design had a bit more randomness of action in it.

My Windows version of the game has some sort of glitch that appears every time you do a wardrobe change during a photoshoot. At first the digital model looks fine, but after you attempt a change of clothes, a digital cover appears on her head. It looks like someone took a rag and draped it over the digital model's head. I suspect the game code controlling the physics and movement of the model's hair is the problem. Hopefully the software makers can come up with a patch to repair this problem.

On the plus side, it is fun to run the magazine empire. This is probably the best part of the game. The extras are also nice. You have the option of giving all your playmates a boob job. This makes watching the models walk and dance around a lot of fun. Watch closely, you will see the model's arms pass right through her breasts as though they weren't even there!

If you are already playing Sims 2, this game will probably seem limited and repetitive. It doesn't have nearly the depth of character Sims 2 has. I suggest waiting until this game shows up on the discount rack.

Summary: Not Great
Review: If you want a PG13 SIM then this game is for you.

Sim games that were made 5 years ago were better than this. Graphics were OK, but game play got old real fast.

Summary: Bugs galore!
Review: This has the potential to be a great game. A nice blend of a business sim and well...the Sims. C'mon, what red-blooded American male hasn't dreamed of being Hef at least once in their life?

But it doesn't deliver. Bugs with the models, the AI, graphics...you name it. It's an entomologists dream. Two weeks after going gold there are still no patches for issues the players have been screaming about since day one.

Maybe someday I will be able to recommend this title, but certainly not now. Stay away.

Review: What the #@&%!! I saw a customer review in here give this game 5 stars and refered to it as the GAME OF THE YEAR! So i guess in that guys opinion this game is just as good as any other game ever made.
WEll in the short time i got to play it, it just seemed like a rushed Sims rip off, but in actuality its just a rip off, but i guess it will give you guys something to do between Madden releases.
And once again, think about it, is this much different than going to your moms while nobody is home and playing house with your sisters dolls? I bet she even has construction paper and crayons to make your own magazines.
