Full Review: If you read this review, will you show me your boobs?!

Remember when Janet Jackson exposed one of her near naked breasts at the Super Bowl? Sure, that day was awesome but the events of ‘Nipplegate’ definitely got a lot people upset, eh? Many concerned viewers out there don’t like to see any type of nudity on national TV despite how natural the human body is. The Guy Game however, is a video game that doesn’t try to hide what it is. The game’s main selling point is none other then Breasts, Boobs, Melons, Hooters, Fog light fun bags! There are over 60 babes here being interviewed across 20 episodes, plus there are several fun mini games and over 1000 trivia questions about TV, Sports, and Movies. The Guy Game has a great idea but it just isn’t very good as a ‘game’.

The Guy Game is not your typical party video game like a family friendly Mario Party. You still have to get the most points to win the game, but the big difference here is that The Guy Game takes place during Spring Break setting and there are several videos of hot, scantily clad real girls that have to answer questions with you. Once you or your friends picked an answer to the question, you then get to bet whether or not the video girl will get it right too. If you get the question wrong you’ll just lose a few points, but if the girl in the video gets it incorrect then she has to show her breasts. OH YEAH! It all sounds cool, but there is a catch.

Each episode starts off with the girls being covered up with well-placed bars and pixel images, but fear not fellow horn dogs. There is something called the Flash-O-Meter that helps get rid those blockers. If you guessed right, regardless of whether or not video girl got the question correct, then your Flash-O-Meter goes up. It’s simple: the more points you earn, the more topless action you’ll see. Getting rid of the Flash-O-Meter is way too easy however, because even if you don’t finish it the first time, you can just replay it again and the girl’s questions will be the same.

Although answering a bunch of basic questions sounds pretty boring - and it is - at least this game has some excellent presentation. The game has up to 3 mini games called Ballz that are really well made, and they speed up the game play too. The game is also filled with some surprisingly well-written and funny dialogue. Also, there is no censorship of all those nasty four lettered words either.

I’m not going to lie to you and say that my friends and I didn’t like seeing girls flash their goods, it sure beats looking at Super Mario all the time. The videos are very high quality, and there are over a thousand of them to see over the course of the game. I wish there were more games that would reward me like this, eh? The problem is once you’ve seen and unlocked all these interview segments; there isn’t much reason to look through them again unless you are one very lonely person.

So that brings me to the debate of all this controversy regarding the game’s blatant use of nudity. Is seeing a few topless girls really all that bad? I’ve actually seen a lone warning label on this game to prevent anyone under 18 from playing it at my local rental store, while other more violent video games like The Getaway and Manhunt don’t have anything. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather have the kids out there looking at the naked body instead of having them kill people for fun. The big problem is games like Grand Theft Auto are not only great playing games, but they are also huge moneymakers. If a store decides to place warning labels on those titles then just think of all the money they’ll lose. That’s the real conspiracy in my opinion.

Bottom Line
If you look past the encouraged drinking and breasts The Guy Game just doesn’t offer much to the standard video game player. Playing through the previous episodes is way too easy since the questions are the same, and when you are only answering questions here with a few mini games, the game play is too one dimensional. The Guy Game is good for a few party nights if your friends haven’t played it already, but be warned that the game has almost zero replay value.
