There is so much you haven't thought about man:
-> The Car. Every pimp needs a car. Without his car, the pimp is nothing. The car is his status symbol, it shows who he is and it is his most important weapon in impressing the ladies. Therefore, make sure there are plenty of upgrades for your car. Watch MTV's Gonna Pimp Your Ride with Xzibit for ideas.
-> The Clothes. Whats a pimp without an afro? Pimps need to spend serious money getting their rocks and suits right. Fur coats, hats ... it's almost as essential as the rims.
-> Crack? You're whack! Crack is an infection in the hood, pimps avoid it like vampires avoid daylight. Cocaine on the other hand, that's a whole different thing.
-> Violence. The way your game is lookin' right now, it seems like it doesn't have enough violence. The type of audience this game is geared toward is not going to settle for a bitch choke as sufficient violence. Nah, you're going to have to graphically depict the explicit torture of snitchers, the gang bang firefights and drivebys and whenever you shoot a police make sure you go into slow motion. So you can really see his pig skull fly into pieces.

No I didn't forget these parts, I just didn't go into every detail of the game. Here is a rundown:
Pimp Car: Allows you to move through the city grid faster. Provides you with increased movement speed, better chance to convert women to whores, and gives you extra armor. Penalty: Cost and higher visibility to The Man
Pimp Hat: Increases whore revenue and again increases chance to convert whores. Penalty: Higher visibility to The Man
About the violence and crack. Whores have stats such as beauty and crack in bloodstream. After a whore's crack in bloodstream stat reaches a certain point, she begins to have a chance to become a crack whore. The point at which this chance starts is lowered with promixity to other crack whores. Crack whores make MUCH less money and decrease their beauty score.
The choke bitch command gives you money and reduces a whore's crack in bloodstream stat. When you select choke bitch, it brings up a hud where you pound alternating buttons as fast as possible while the hud dislays a close up of the choking action and the whores vital meters.
You can kill a whore if you want, but that again raises your visibiity to The Man.
As a balance factor, generally speaking, the better you are doing in the game the more The Man will harrass you. This gives players that are behind the chance to comeback.
Of course there is all sorts of other violence in the game, and it is open ended, so if you want you can just go on carnage rampages, though unless your rampages are mission related, you really wont see any bonuses.
With regard to play style, each pimp type you select at the begining of the game has a different play style. For example, the French Bordello Madam can more easily convert women, and with very little money, but she doesn't receive the same type of crack bonuses as say the Gold Plated Nigger pimp. Also, her whores tend to go inside buildings and are not prone to getting picked up on the street by The Man.
