Pimps at Sea (Xbox)

Lace up your platform shoes and pick up your diamond-studded whoop-ass cane - here comes a rival pimp bent on hijacking your hoes! Welcome to the world of Pimps At Sea, where you can hoist the jolliest of rogers and set sail for a different kind of booty. Pimps At Sea is a trailblazing combination of action and real-time strategy set in a lush, fully 3D world. You'll sail from port to port, making mad loot with all the freedom and realism offered by the most complex economic simulation ever to appear in a game. Groundbreaking AI means that women, johns and cops think and act with unmatched depth and complexity - and you'll need to master your sweet-talking and strong-arming skills to keep your game tight. In the streets or on the high sea, you'll need to smack down those who would lay you low: rival pimps, police, and even mutinous girls from your own stable. Expanding on Oni's innovative full-contact action system, you'll keep them all in check with an impressive arsenal of weaponry in addition to your hand-to-hand critical beatdown skills. But the real fun starts when you get online and compete with thousands of other players around the globe in the world's first and only massively multiplayer pimp simulation. Pimps At Sea: where pimping and poop decks collide! Arrrrrh, bitch! [Bungie] No, the game doesn't exist (yet) and all the review excerpts were faked by Metacritic.

Critic Reviews

100 Hot Games
It may not have the emotional impact of some of Square's RPG's, but it does have likeable characters, a huge amount of gameplay, an epic quest, and beautifully rendered environments and effects.
90 Playboy
Finally a game for the pimps in us all.
89 GamingTrend
This is the must-have title for the season, if only because riding your Pimp-N-Ator 4000 into a harbor then blinding the locals with the shine from your pearl walking staff is the sort of adventuring that comes around once in a lifetime.
83 Core Magazine
Great scripting, captivating characters, a good battle system, and two long GD-ROMs worth of game give you the bang for the buck.
25 XenGamers
There are much better things to spend one’s money on. Like root canals.
25 GamerWeb Xbox
Everything is low quality and repetitive, you'll throw the game down in a number of minutes.
