As a business sim it's simplistic at best. Lula is one of those rare games where you wished the developers had used gratuitous FMV rather than flickbook animation. There you must hire screenwriters, sales staff, actors and secretaries, and buy up production buildings - all to make more movies that, in the real world, would warrant a full police investigation on the grounds that they were shite. It's impossible to get anything wrong and after a couple of hours of Cgoing through the motions' it's with some 'relief' that you reach the next section. But after watching a few still shots jerking around, you soon realise how incredibly dull the whole enterprise is. Occasionally, you'll have to find another girl for her to play with, or some lubricants or even a Cmoist-a-rater'. The first part of the game basically involves taking photos and videos of Lula and selling them on.
Perhaps the game should've been called Pom Star Ate My Beaver instead. You may be aware that Lula has been selling steadily for well over six months - mainly to young anoraks sneaking a copy to the sales assistant in the hope of spending the next six months with one hand choking a swollen gherkin (presumably their own) and the other dancing intermittently between a sticky mouse and a strategically-placed box of super-absorbent wipes. Well, Lula (or Wet to give the game its European name) is a bit like that, except you have to manage your way from fugitive amateur photographer to porn industry bigwig. Some of you may well remember a game called Rock Star Ate My Hamster, a comical business sim in which you had to manage a band with the aim of getting to the top of the pop charts. Speaking of selling them as well as building up this vast XXX network, you can also open up sex boutique stores to keep that cash flow coming. You can name them, edit them and sell them. For example, you can actually start to make erotic videos. The more money you make the more things you can do. It is your quest for cash that keeps driving you forward. You start by taking sexy pictures of Lula, getting her to strip, have sex with other dudes, blackmailing people and building up your cash flow. I love the idea of this game, but nothing is quite realized as good as it could be. The gameplay of Lula: The Sexy Empire is where the game falls short. I am not saying it is bad or anything like that, but I would say that it looks “older” than it does “classic” Show Me The Money…. This is a game that was originally made in the 90s and it certainly looks like that. I like how Lula is super over-exaggerated, but you have to take into consideration the age of this game. The visuals of the game do have some charm and there is nudity here.
