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!
