7.5 Good

Despite an astounding technical achievement, several conceptual flaws prevent Life from becoming a future classic.

The Good

Realistic graphics - Gore - Impeccable sound - Crowded servers - Vast sandbox design - Real-time 24/7 cycle - Virtually endless achievements available

The Bad

No respawns - Costly weapons - Overly complex moral system - 7-8 hours loading time required daily - Excessively long level ups - Obvious product placement - Costly extra contents

not with my eyes... I've played a Sims game and didn't like it so I guess this would be the best in that category; yes? hmm...still not worth the $10 on Steam.

You can't do much worse than the current reviewers, I mean they gave White Knights Chronicle a measly 6/10.

I actually think Big rigs is the closest Video game in existence to real life.A lone player roaming a desolate waste aimlessly in his big rig.sounds about right....

It would be quite immersive which is a popular buzzword nowadays but for the most part I wouldn't be a fan. I mean The Sims is not my cup o tea.

Insane 3D graphics with a smooth framerate. However, there are no cheats, there's no real story development, and the pacing is terrible.

It's, dare I say, highly overrated.

Maybe not a 10, but awfully close. It's been an interesting ride, and the sound effects and graphics are first rate. Can't really argue with value, either, since it was free, but the re-play value is a bit lacking. That's a bit disappointing, but I can live with it.

Well if it were a game i don't like paying 10$ to play sports! Oh and the fact that this game feels like i never have enough money. If only i could rob a bank and run into a spray paint shop and have it all go away....

6/10 The Good: Graphics are the new standard, lots of variety, zero in game load times, amazingly indepth conversation and relationship system, amazing soundtrack The Bad: One life and then you have to buy another copy, extremely long tutorial section, random character generation leads to some builds with massive disadvantages, brutal difficulty, extended periods lacking in excitement and new things, making a single mistake can ruin your chances at almost everything, AI can be very spotty especially with politician AIs
