The soundtrack for [i]Playboy: The Mansion[/i] was announced by Groove Games today, and is set to feature a diverse list of songs from more than 40 artists. In the game, players will have their choice of music ranging from hip-hop, rock, and house music which allows you to set the mood at your virtual “Playboy Mansion”.

“With ‘Playboy: The Mansion, you can create the ultimate virtual party, and as the best hosts like Hef know, a party isn’t a party without great music,” said Jim Perkins, president of ARUSH Publishing. “We’re thrilled to showcase music from amazing up-and-coming artists, and think there is something for everyone, with rock, punk, hip-hop, and even flamenco music available on your Playboy Mansion’s radio.”

Songs in game will feature artists such as Petey Pablo, the All-American Rejects, and Sugarcult as well as newer acts like Start Trouble, The Wlyde Bunch, and Aquavibe. Thanks to the game’s INgrooves radio station, a nice mix of dance and house music will be in the fold too, and a seperate CD of those songs will be available shortly after the game.

[i]Playboy: The Mansion[/i] hits consoles and the PC early next month.
