    Yes, it lacks certain features, but it shows potential. On the other hand, exactly this kind of simplicity makes it more accessible to everybody.

    Some of the celebrities in the game also make it interesting. Who wouldn't try to get next to Carmen Electra or the celebrity playmates that make appearances?

    For a while, it is rather enjoyable to cruise by and experience the closest thing you'll ever have to being anything like Hef, but you'll quickly long for deeper gameplay or a more real sense of progression. Use that $50 on 3 years' worth of Playboy subscriptions instead.

    Terribly dull. I don't know many people who want to BE Hugh Hefner. I would love to be in Hugh Hefner's position, however. At its best, this game is like a management simulation with bikini-clad bimbos. At its best, it's a weak attempt at seeing nude cyber-chicks. If you want more nudity, and more fun, just buy the Sims 2 and download a nudity texture. At least you won't need to waste hours and hours for a payoff.… Expand
