Sun, sand and sex is what you can expect from
this great PC holiday simulation : Beach Life.
BEACH LIFE
"Young people in particular have a lot of fun
on holiday. It seemed to me to be the perfect experience to simulate in a
game. Cheap booze, loud music, romance, polluted water, mosquitoes, hot sun,
beach volleyball, etc will combine to create people watching at it's best.
It's up to the players to decide what kind of resort they want to create
and the type of people they want to attract to it. Players will know
instinctively how to play it". Ian Livingstone, executive chairman of
Eidos.

Sun, sand and sex is what you can expect from
Eidos Interactive’s new PC holiday simulation Beach Life. Based on a
game concept by Ian Livingstone, Beach Life is being developed by Deep Red
and is due for release in August.
Set in exotic holiday resorts around the world,
players compete to create the most successful holiday experience. Build an
Ibiza-like resort with hotels, bars, clubs, beach activities, water sports,
set the prices and watch all the self-indulgent holidaymakers have fun in
the sun. As summer rolls on you will experience all the joys and the headaches
of running a typical package holiday resort from romance and over indulgence
to food poisoning and storms.
Beach Life offers the gamer something different
to what they’ve ever experienced before. The game features the planning
and management options of a Tycoon style game with the people watching intrigue
of The Sims. You must build and run your island whilst reacting to the needs
of your guests and then watch the hilarious and sometimes disastrous
consequences. Graphically Beach Life features a beautiful, scrollable isometric
world with a very simple and straightforward interface.
Features:
Develop Your Own Unique Holiday
Resort
Choose from over 50 different rides, attractions
and facilities. Focus on water-based activities with Jet Skis, Paragliding,
Speedboats, Pedaloes, Party Cruises and Snorkelling. Or build up your beaches
with Barbecues, Beach Discos, Volleyball and Event Stages. Many other facilities
are available too, like Clubs, Restaurants, Bars, Casinos, Amusement Arcades
etc. etc.
Outrageous And Hilarious
Laugh or cry as your guests get up to all kinds
of antics including Wet T-Shirt Contests, Beauty Contests, Beach Parties
and ‘booze’ cruises. See the guests get ill, get drunk, get horny
or start fighting!
Rich Character Behaviours
Rather than the usual faceless, nameless people
that appear in many sim games, Beach Life features strongly differentiated
character types with their own traits and preferences. We’ve got
sun-worshippers, lager-louts, sporting types, partygoers etc. - over 300mb
of animation!
Challenging and Enduring
Gameplay
Beach Life features two main modes of play –
Campaign-style and Freeform. The campaign mode puts fourteen different resort
challenges in front of the player; each features different environments,
weather patterns, guest types, hazards and objectives. In the Freeform mode,
you can choose any island you’ve previously completed in the campaign
mode and play it any way you like.
‘Voyeur’ Mode
With the aid of the built in ‘camera’
facility with zoom lens, you can track individuals in the resort as they
go about their holidays. There’s even an option to take ‘photos’
of your favourite moments which can then be printed, emailed to friends or
posted to the Beach Life website!
