First Impressions: A game made for drunken horny men, I'll drink to that!
I've loved video games for over twenty years now, and it's a great hobby. The problem is that I'm an adult in his late 20's now, and my friends and I don't like playing the traditional Mario-style platformer as much as we used to. I want something a bit more edgy if you know what I mean, eh? Although the movie business has a huge money making porn industry, there are still no official adult rated video games as of yet. Over the years however, more and more mature games have been coming out recently and Top Heavy Studio's The Guy Game is one of those controversial games. Let's take a closer look at this wild party game.
The Guy Game has a lot in common with other party games like You Don't Know Jack and Mario Party. You know the deal; the person with the most points wins the game. The only difference here is that The Guy Game takes place during a Spring Break setting and there are tons of hot, scantily clad girls in this virtual world. These are real actresses, as well as some computer-generated cartoons. So what do the girls have to do with the game play? The better you play, the more your special Flash-O-Meter goes up. Once this meter fills up the girl will take off more of her clothes! It's even possible to see some full frontal nudity from the waist up and the game even encourages drinking, so it definitely earns its mature rating.
Although the game play doesn't sound very complex, it still has a lot of modes to play through. First there is The Hottie Challenge: this is a betting game where you can wager to see if one of the girls can answer a question correctly or not (kind of like СJay Walking' segment on the Tonight Show). There are over 60 babes being interviewed across 20 episodes. Tired of watching the girls trying to answer questions? There is also a Trivia mode with over 1,000 questions about TV, Sports, and Movies available. Sick of all these questions, why not go and play one of Ballz mini games to build up some cash? Over the course of these games, you can unlock a few bonus goodies like pictures, new episodes, videos, and more to increase the replay value.

Is The Guy Game's use of stripping women just a shameless attempt to make money? OK, Maybe? Is this game going to be yet another Mature title gone wrong (i.e. BMX XXX)? Sure, perhaps? Does this mean that I'm not going to try this out? Hell no! It's about time we started getting more adult oriented fare like this party game. I'm so sick of reading about how lucky Japanese gamers get to play all these cool dating or more exotic video games, while we get left out in the cold in North America. It's time for more companies to stop playing it safe and realize that many players are not kids anymore. The Guy Game will be released for the PlayStation 2 and the Xbox very soon.
