A decent attempt at making a game around !&%$@#* appeal, but it still doesnt quite hit the mark. The repetitive questions in each episode give the game almost no replay value.

GMR MagazineA delicate blend of "You Don't Know Jack," "Girls Gone Wild," and repeatedly smashing your head against a concrete wall. [Oct 2004, p.116]

If youre seriously interested in this "game," you're probably a loser who's embarrassed to buy porn, and way too chicken to actually talk to a real girl. [Oct 2004, p.129]

Trying to pass this disc off as a game is an insult to video games. If you want to see naked females, then rent a porno. If you want to play mini games, play "Mario Party" or "Wario Ware." If you want to play a trivia game, then play "You Dont Know Jack" or "Who Wants to be a Millionaire." Mixing all these elements into an Xbox game is ridiculous.

"But it's a great drunken party game!" some will scream. I'm sorry, but it's far too complicated and asinine for intoxicated people to grasp. It took me forever to reach unobstructed FMV toplessness, and I was sober.

No, the problem here is that getting to the naked women is a painstaking chore, and the few seconds of a girl going wild does not make up for the five minutes of inane videos leading up to it.

Official Xbox MagazineThe Guy Game's trivia-based party-game core isn't fun or interesting enough to justify the ooze you'll feel covered with after watching one dumb, drunk, or disinterested girl after another reveal her chest to a horde of sweaty virgins. [Nov 2004, p.89]

Electronic Gaming MonthlyOr, if you're a life-hating masochist, you can waste $40 on The Guy Game, spend countless hours answering dumb trivia questions - and guessing if vapid skanks can answer dumb trivia questions (usually not) - and then...maybe see breasts. [Nov 2004, p.128]
-
Xbox Nation MagazineThere's absolutely nothing appealing about any of it. Nor does the game possess any redeeming qualities, save for the fact that it won't immediately afflict you with cancer. [Oct 2004, p.97]

ChimpskySep 12, 2004IMHO a big pile of steamy horsesh.t, way past sell by date, completely sexist, banal + uninspired...sober or drunk.
