Audio/Video Quality: The picture was presented in anamorphic widescreen 1.85:1 ratio color. There was a bit of grain and some video noise but overall it looked a lot better than Sinful CreationsVolume One of the series and I appreciated the improvement a lot. There were no compression artifacts and the quality was good. The audio was presented in 5.1 Dolby Digital surround English. This also showed improvement from the first volume and there was some separation between the channels, as well as better quality of vocals/music.

Body of Review: Robby D. is known, primarily from his movie making days at Vivid, for his weird low-budget releases. Nowadays, he's allowed to make bigger budget movies like Sinful Creations but he still seems to have an urge to experiment with his camera. In his latest release, Jack's Playground 4, Robby attempts to make a comedy porno with mixed results. The story is about a guy that wants to score with babes by acting like he's making music videos but this time, he steps on Montel's toes a bit by propositioning the little guy's girlfriend. The plot was pretty much nonexistent but the humor worked much better this time (I'm not sure how volumes 2 and 3 were since I didn't get to see them. If you want to see a silly comedy with some interesting (as well as very warm) sex, read the following brief descriptions of the sex scenes:

Scene One: Ariana, a cute brunette found on the front cover in the red lingerie and in Stinky Pink, took up Joel on his offer to be in a music video. The audition involved blowing him and then screwing in the bathroom stall with him choking her a bit. He went balls deep and then took her anally in a very hot scene that ended with a large facial after some ass to mouth action.

Scene Two: Jelena, a hot blonde that I hope to see lots more of in the future, got a bit tipsy in her bed for Robby (Jack), takes off her clothes and started jerking herself off for him. She's on the front cover on the right side looking great. I'm just sad that she didn't have sex with anyone else (male or female) but I'm hopeful for the future.

Scene Three: Sarah, another cutie (if this sounds redundant, blame Robby for selecting great performers) with blonde hair, started off her scene by sucking Chris' penis. She gave a slow, erotic suck job, taking him in all the way before riding him a bit. Her small breasts bouncing, she sat on his lap while he filled her up nicely. It ended with a facial and while it wasn't the greatest scene of the movie, it wasn't bad.

Scene Four: Cynthia, a gal that looked a lot like Harley Davis (older but doable), gave Barrett a hummer on a couch. He seemed to be a bit under the weather and couldn't finish the scene. I almost didn't include this as an official scene but thought, what the heck.

Scene Five: Ava, an Asian gal I saw in Lex Steele XXX 2 that has huge implants and a loud, vocal approach to sex, took on the massive Lee on a bed this time. There was oral and he hammered her small body vaginally pretty hard but it was the anal that really impressed me. She acted like it was no big deal (sort of) and she rimmed him as well as took more of a pounding before he blew his load onto her awaiting face.

Scene Six: Katie, an attractive gal that looked much better here than in Double Decker Sandwich 2, gave Eric a warm, slow blowjob on a couch before he got to bone her. She played with herself a bit while he nailed her and he took his time doing so. He took her in several positions, including from behind, after which he rubbed out a load on her face and hair. I liked this scene more than it sounds by my description. With some work, she'll be really popular.

Scene Seven: The last scene was one with Jaymie masturbating. I like solo scenes as much as the next guy (if you don't believe me, read my review of Soloerotica 3, which isn't about the sexual adventures of Han Solo), but I was left wanting more; just as I was with Jelena's scene. There was a brief cameo by Belladonna at the end, blowing some guy in a 69 position too.

Summary: This volume was worth a much higher rating than the initial release and I'm rating it as Recommended due to the cast, the sexual heat and the improvements to the story. I'd have preferred better extras and full sex scenes with the entire cast but this was a nice change of pace from the all too familiar formula most porno seems to follow. If later volumes get better (sex and extras) who knows what type of ratings they will get.
