Having already earned a firm M-rating with its healthy attitude toward toplessness (both digital and otherwise), Playboy: The Mansion’s self-censorship seems almost hypocritical. More curious than the eclectic nature of the soundtrack in Playboy: The Mansion is the rampant censoring. The people in the game all have a pleasantly nondescript look to them, à la The Sims, and after interacting with dozens of unique celebrities and staffers, they’ll all start blending together.īuying sound systems for the Mansion can provide you with some good background music that covers a pretty broad range of tunes, from fairly stock rock, hip-hop, and techno stations to more-unusual options, such as an industrial station, a flamenco station, and a jazz station. The game is mostly played from a three-quarters overhead perspective, though you can spin the camera around and zoom in and out at will.
The game plays an awful lot like The Sims, and its presentation similarities to Maxis’ suburban lifestyle simulation are many as well. Ironically, the articles might just be the best reason to subscribe to Playboy: The Mansion. The interviews hold up without any nostalgic assistance and simply represent good reads. The dozens of photos from across Playboy’s history provide an interesting retrospective on the magazine, and to a certain extent, American pop culture at large. The most compelling bit of content inside Playboy: The Mansion involves the unlockable extras, which include classic Playboy covers, centerfolds, and interviews with celebrities ranging from Snoop Dogg to Jimmy Carter.
