Lastly there's the two different modes of play, free play and campaign mode. There is a track selection option but then you'd actually have to listen to most of it to decide which tracks to turn off. Unfortunately the music is mostly lackluster. One bright spot is Felix da Housecat an included celebrity who also coincidently mixed the music for the game. The quotes around the word celebrities are definitely needed these are not A-list Hollywood types we're talking about here unless you're big fans of Uncle Kracker and Boris McEngroe. Third, and here I'll quote directly from the company's website, "Hundreds of 'celebrities,'" are included in the game for you to interact with. Yup they're all there, the downstairs, the upstairs, the pool, the infamous grotto, but there's an annoying load time between each area, so why even bother leave the bedroom? Second, there are multiple Playboy estate areas are in the game. They're not anything to get worked up about. And the highlight of the graphics are the walls (not doors) turning transparent when the player looks through them, and objects usually highlighting orange when clicked. The view isn't too majestic either the mansion is very small and poorly furnished. True, the camera zooms in and out but only while on Hugh, the only character you control in the game. First, a 3D environment that is fully zoomable. There's a slick package, two CD's to install and a short manual to read while the installation is underway.ĪRUSH's website makes several claims. If the criteria for success is fulfilling the promise of what the box contains, ARUSH Entertainment's Hugh Hefner simulator Playboy: The Mansion is a decent game.
