Hey all, here is some coverage of the game.
You can get the very first gameplay movie at Fileplanet:

We also aren't showing the unlockable footage and content either...that's for release but it's great stuff.
Here are Gamespy's impressions of the game:
http://ps2.gamespy.com/playstation-2/playboy-the-mansion/515442p1.html?fromint=1Highlights:
Spiffy
Really clever gameplay; drops some of the mundane tasks of other simulation games.
Iffy
Too soon to tell if the game scenarios will be engaging or not.
quoteWhen I first heard about Playboy: The Mansion, I figured it would a mindless game that drew people in with its brand and the promise of nudity. I envisioned the T&A equivalent of Deer Hunter. After getting a demo of the game, I can see how wrong I was. Playboy: The Mansion is a surprisingly smart simulation that has you juggling all sorts of entertaining tasks and none of the dull ones that bog down other games in the genre. It's all about the Playboy lifestyle and living it up. It's shaping up to be a really fun title that combines clever gameplay, simplicity, and
wait for it
hot naked bodies.
quoteMaking the magazine is as much fun as throwing a party. After all, you have to photograph some of the sexiest women in the world. On the celebrity list are several models that have appeared in Playboy before. While the publisher would neither confirm nor deny Carmen Electra's involvement in the game, I would bet the bank that she's in it. You can entice Carmen and the other girls to come back for another shoot. Once there, you can change the models outfit and accessories, though you'll want to strip her down for the centerfold. Picking slick layouts, taking hot photos, and designing an enticing cover are some of the keys to making a magazine that sells.
While I was expecting a gratuitous, watered-down version of The Sims, Playboy: The Mansion promises to be much more. It looks like a fun, adult-themed game that's fun to play and can also help players with task management, networking, and social interaction. Plus, there will be all kinds of sex happening in the mansion according to the publisher. If you're over 18, Playboy: The Mansion looks like a great time.
Oh, and about that Carmen Electra thing...she is.
