A little shaky at first but a good game there-after.

User Rating: 7.6 | Playboy: The Mansion PC
I saw this game on the Gamespot main page and saw the hype surrounding it so I decided to get it, I haven't regretted it as suck but I do feel like I overpaid. It flawlessly installed so I started it up, after the 5 or so introduction movies I finally got to a menu screen, oh dear, crash. I got a bit annoyed but I thought there may be a patch, wrong. Thankfully the Gamespot Forums were a help and there was a solution, move/delete/rename the opening.wmv file, yay I'm in. After walking around and interacting with people an objects, which wasn't too hard as I have years of experience with The Sims, I discovered the Photo Shoot option. Yes, this game does have full frontal nudity and you can take pictures of it. But... When I changed the clothing of my fine female her hair came over her face, when I exited the shoot, hey, another crash! After a few more crashes and boots the game stabilised and I could explore more features. Also, unlike The Sims there is no need to sleep, eat, bathe etc so you're awake 24/7, all this adds to to remove any serious challenge in the game and after a while it gets very easy and repetitive. I mentioned good graphics quality and the sound is even better! The OST features bands I've actually heard of, the first time it's happened in a game (other than the 2 newest GTA games and True Crime), I was surprised to hear All American Rejects whilst having a chat with Jose Conseco! Apart from the crashes it is a quite well-made game, the graphics are acceptable but a few things that holds Playboy: The Mansion back is the instability and the fact you can't move away from Hef (the main character) and explore other areas of the mansion. Overview: Wait for a patch & for the price to go down
