So I want to review a massively multiplayer offline role playing game i have recently discovered Its called Life.
Community:
One server, no lag. The playerbase varies, some people are mean and will harass you over voice chat or PMs. Others are very kind and supportive to new players who dont understand all the unwritten rules of the game.
Graphics+audio:
If you are into realism, let me tell you this is the game for you! The graphics are impeccable and never glitched. As for the audio, the soundtrack has too many songs for me to count and the environmental effects are unbelievable.
Gameplay:
Character progression is INCREDIBLY slow. this is not a game for the impatient. However, those who commit themselves will find the rewards of character progression are beyond words. In some games, jobs are optional, but for most characters in this one grinding is an essential part of surviving, let alone progression. However, job progression and even the actual job can be rewarding, but these rewards come kind of late in the skill progression.
Minigames:
Characters can access a variety of mini games, but first they must own in-game (in-life) computers or consoles. BE WARY of these! Due to the fact that the main quest is so difficult and slow, it is possible to become too engrossed in these mini games at great expense of the main quest.
Overall:
I have no choice but to give this game a "must play" rating for all of my readers. Enjoy and see you there! My character can be PM'd in game by clicking my avatars name.
Who else has played this game? Please share your reviews.
This is incredible! Thanks so much for posting, my daughter and I broke out laughing in the middle of the library!

What's even funnier is that I skimmed through it while eating my lunch, and took it seriously!
Then i thought, hmmmm this is weird, Phil's other posts are so different!!!
Boy, do I feel like a twit.
It is hilarious.
thanks for the feedback.
also, remember "second life" is not a sequel to this game. that one sucks.
Phil, I enjoyed reading your review. Note that the New game review - REAL LIFE thread that has a longer and more detailed review of this new "game".

Ah thanks for that. as usual, gamespot lowballs their scores.
LMAO..Hilarious!!! I heard it even has smell, taste and touch inworld too !!
Yep, I am playing RL.
The question is....will you be able/courageous/adult enough to sacrifice that which merely pleases you...for that which will truly fulfill you? That is the question of personal growth.
