Play as Hugh Hefner as he challenges sexual insecurity to ensure the success of his business and personal relationships.
Yes, the game does include amounts of nudity, both animated and real, as well as very realistic (somewhat offensive when you consider the youth of America playing this game) sexually-oriented gameplay (you can do the nasty on the couch, in the bed, on a pinball machine; do pretty much everything, with pretty much everybody)
The game has a celebrity cast as well; Tom Arnold & Carmen Electra to name a few.
Throughout gameplay, aside from having the option of participating in sexual acts with a number of different women (as well as choose what they do, or don't wear around the house) you (Hugh Hefner, whom you can also dress to your tastes) must accomplish preset goals to bring about success in your thriving company.
One constant, in the variety-based goal gameplay, is that you must publish a magazine, with an article, a cover shot, a centerfold, etc.
The cover shot & centerfold pictures are taken by the player, and the calibre of the photos/articles are based upon a star-system. Using intelligent and unattractive women in your photo shoots will only yield around 2-2 1/2 stars at best, while using that same intelligent women to write articles and more attractive females for the photo shoots will yield 4-5 star results.
Aside from the photos/articles independently, your magazine itself will also receive a rating.
Completing goals will give you points, which you can then use to unlock real-life centerfold and cover shoot photographs from virtually every decade of the Playboy magazine's existence, as well as pictures of Hef himself.
The pictures contain real nudity, which, though this isn't the first console videogame to include real-life nudity (see the 3DO system) is both revolutionary and, to some, disturbing.
The realism of the sexual situations in this game make the jumbling-under-the-sheets-and-giggling style of The Sims seem innocent, therefore though I'd recommend renting or purchasing this game since it has so many customization options and entertaining gameplay (you can also use your own music; downloaded to your XBox hard drive, an option XBox gamers have wanted a long time from games similar to The Sims) and avoiding exposure of this game to younger members of your household.
Blessed be
