A truly ambitious game...

User Rating: 8.7 | Second Life PC

First off, for all of you I am going to tell you that this is NOT a type of game where you hack and slash. This is not even close to WoW or any of those other mmorpgs. A bland look would call this a Chat room with avatars. But once you find your clique or whoever has the same views as you, it’s interesting. You can chat and even have (limited) interaction. There is allot of suggestive content, that would not be suitable for those younger than 18. They created a teen area for those from ages 13-17 so even you can join in but without the weirdness of the 18+ areas. This game is a very ambitious step in a sim, and I admire their attempts to give you (close too) total freedom. Yes this game can draw your money, just as much as all other online things. The current rates for money exchange is 4.05$ usd = 1000$ that you can spend on land and avatars. It is a interesting game, and well worth a visit for those who are of age and who don’t mind average graphics, and some lag.

These below are my views; please do not take them into heart im just doing my rants after seeing others post their junk about how much they thought it sucked after logging in for 10 min. If you don’t want to spend that money then play WoW or any other game that tickles your fancy, but please do not flame the SL community. We didn’t force you to join in, and for all of you out there that are below 18 and joined. You got what was coming to you, what were you doing in an adult section anyway?

I am sick of haters just jumping in the game then going "omg it sucks". Yes the game dose lag, yes the content is more +18. But it’s far from what people are branding it as "A basic Porno game" They call it that because it could be their opinion or it could be that they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. I would not recommend this for anyone younger than 18 because people have a tendency to be weird. But there is a Teen only area, where none of that weirdness from the 18+ area, I have no chance of going there but my friends say that there is less weirdness than what they saw with mine. This is not a game, think of it as a second life (virtual life or whatever you want to call it) Its not a waist of time but you don’t need to spend hours and hours on it. But remember it’s just a Second life and you should know the difference between “reality and Make beleave”

    Second Life is a free MMOG that allows virtually anything to happen in it's world. Sounds fun? It's absolutely the opposite of "fun". Linden Labs has created a monster, a place where all of the worst people in the world ... Read Full Review
