Playboy: The Mansion review:
If we return to the "Playboy: the Mansion as deconstruction of Playboy lifestyle" theory, perhaps this paucity and repetitiveness is just a critique of the real Hef? What started as a bit of a giggle becomes a drag. Decades of identical blonde women, your soul slowly crumbling beneath the fatal peroxide over-exposure... but that'd be reaching.
Playboy: The Mansion review:
Yet, despite its severe technical shortcomings and arguably objectionable tone, we kept playing the thing. We kept grumbling, but we didn't stop playing. That's probably down to the well-judged mission structure, which eases you in to putting out magazines and monitoring the people around you.
Playboy: The Mansion review:
The only problem is that it’s let down by the stupidest AI ever (until Jade Goody gets the game treatment), which can really frustrate you and ruin the whole experience.

Playboy: The Mansion review:
You walk into every review with expectations. Basic critic's prejudice. With something like Playboy: The Mansion, this Sims-esque Hugh-Hefner-'em-up, you walk into the review buried alive in the things. Can't approach the work cleanly, which says something about humans but a lot more about the game.
