Game Overview
Playboy has been there to support men and boys through some very tough times over the years, whether it be the magazine, website or the illustrious and very detailed TV channel, you are guaranteed a few minutes of immortality and imagination pounding action.
Some would say that Playboy the Mansion is very similar to "The Sims" but with a bit more of an erotic feel to it. You control Mr Hugh Hefner from day one of his journey into the porn industry and the building of his glorious and magnificent mansion, you decide where to put walls, chairs, desks, bars and playboy rugs, but that really is about as close as this game comes to being anything like 'The Sims'.
Your main objective in the game is to produce and publish Playboy magazines, to do this you need to convince celebrities that they "do want to be interviewed for the magazine and that they do want to do a cover shoot", you will also need to employ the ever popular Playmates to pose for a centerfold shoot, were you actually get to take the pictures, AND you get to chose what they wear! "Could you remove the bra please? Thanks, that’s a lot better". Yes guys you do get to see them!
Ok, so its computer graphics and to be honest they don’t really look life like at all, but wotsits are wotsits! All hail the Playmate and all hail her white dangly bits (im talking about her earlobes, dirty so and so!)
Playboy the Mansion isn't really a button pounding, analogue thrusting game, it is a slow paced, strategic, money making, pioneer building adventure, which really doesn't sound interesting at all so to add to it has girls who are really fit and really up for it. Chose what goes in the magazine, throw parties and invite top celebs, so you can "get to know" them. The parties can be swimwear or evening wear, they can be during the day or during the night, in the lounge or by the pool, wherever you decide to throw your party make sure there is an abundance of Play Bunnies, Play Mates, Celebs and the always needed Journalist and Photographer just incase someone decides they want to appear in you latest magazine.
We are not ashamed to admit we are huge Playboy fans, and we have never been so excited about a game in all our lives, the box seemed a lot smoother and silkier than any others, the disk seemed to be perfectly rounded and hard to the touch yet the instruction manual was so soft, gentle and neatly trimmed. It was almost perfect, just what we have come to imagine from the biggest name in Porn! Once again, all hail Playboy!

Our Conclusions
What else could a man want, Playboy the Mansion! Come on its got to be worth buying just because of the name and all the younger boys out there get one of your older mates to buy it for you, who says that computers don’t teach you anything! All that’s left for us to say is that it is a "must buy" for all males and 'DING DONG!'
Overall Score: 8/10
Thanks to Kerry at Ubisoft and Chris Swanson from Blokesonly.co.uk, without either of these people we would not have been able to experience the finer things in life!
